ULib - C++ library

Travis CI: Build Status Coverity Scan: Coverity Scan Build Status

ULib is a highly optimized class framework for writing C++ applications. I wrote this framework as my tool for writing applications in various contexts. It is a result of many years of work as C++ programmer. I think, in my opinion, that its strongest points are simplicity, efficiency and sophisticate debugging.

ULib is meant as a very light-weight C++ library to facilitate using C++ design patterns even for very deeply embedded applications, such as for systems using uclibc along with posix threading support. For this reason, ULib disables language features that consume memory or introduce runtime overhead, such as rtti and exception handling, and assumes one will mostly be linking applications with other pure C based libraries rather than using the overhead of the standard C++ library and other similar class frameworks.

It include as application example a powerful search engine with relative web interface and a multi purpose server (plugin oriented) which results, out of John Fremlin accurate investigations, to be one of the fastest web application frameworks for serving small dynamic webpages (and also make easier the usage of shell scripts for CGI application)

userver (_tcp | _ssl | _ipc) application server (plugin oriented)

The current version offers the following features :

Who is Using ULib

It is the main software component of city of Florence wireless network

Benchmark

userver application server is since 10th round in the TechEmpower’s web framework benchmarks. This independent work tests a large number of frameworks and platforms against a set of tests common to web applications, such as JSON serialization, database queries and templating.

License

ULib is normally built and installed as a set of shared object libraries and header files. These libraries and headers are installed using directories selected through a “configure” script that has been prepared with automake and autoconf. As such, they should build and install similarly to and in a manner compatible and consistent with most other GNU software.
