Code libraries from C/C++ Users Journal

This entry is a repository for useful code libraries that have been presented in C/C++ Users Journal. The article name links to the zipped file, on CUJ's site, of that issue's source code. The issue date links to the CUJ page for that issue. This will be regularly updated.

• Containers
• Ranges: Part 1: Concepts and Implementations (October 2004, Volume 22, Number 10), Part 2: Iterable Range Adaptors, Algorithms, and Composition (December 2004, Volume 22, Number 12); Torjo, John and Matthew Wilson

An extension of the iterator concept. Manipulate collections more succinctly.

• STL Sequences & the View Concept (April 2004, Volume 22, Number 4); Sobczak, Maciej

View<> template that can contain conjunct or disjuct collections of iterators. Iterators can come from one or more collections containing the same data type. Dereferencing view<> iterators also dereferences the contained iterator.

• Search, State Machines
• Finite State Machine Framework, A (April 2004, Volume 22, Number 4); Mason, P. Dale
• State Space Searching (October 2004, Volume 22, Number 10); Theese, David

A policy-based state machine.

• Misc
• Asynchronous Delegates & C++ (November 2004, Volume 22, Number 11); Dotlic, Drazen

Delegates are clean syntactic wrappers for callbacks. This library mimics the .NET implementation of delegates (an example of the power of C++ as a language that can subsume other languages' features without the need to change C++ itself).

• Constrained Value Types Using Policies (December 2004, Volume 22, Number 12); Diggins, Christopher

A simple template for creating range-bound, single-value objects.

• Win32 GUI Generics: The Roots (August 2004, Volume 22, Number 7), Window Creation, Access, Frames, and Dialogs (August 2004, Volume 22, Number 8), Keeping It Simple (September 2004, Volume 22, Number 9), Make It Look Good! (November 2004, Volume 22, Number 11); Torjo, John

John Torjo has accomplished the stunning task of writing a Win32 class library that follows the principles of the Standard Library and object-oriented design. Check out his site for a full description.
