Welcome to the CMLabs CoreLibrary

 

 

            The CMLabs CoreLibrary is a multiplatform object library for C++ (Linux, Win32, MacOSX, PocketPC). It provides many of the common objects found in Java (Strings, Threads, Collections, etc.) and has the ability to send objects across the network like CORBA.

 

            On this site you will find information about the CoreLibrary and how to use it. The links below will guide you to the documentation including how the objects in the CoreLibrary can convert themselves to and from XML, the full Doxygen documentation of every source file and some handy examples to get you started.

 

 

Introduction

 

            The CoreLibrary is intended for C++ to be what the basic object classes are for Java. Every object is an Object and inherits a standard API from the Object class, such as print(), toXML(), fromXML(), wait(), and many more.

 

There are a great number of classes available from the CoreLibrary and this number is expected to grow as the project is used by more and more people. It contains most of the basic useful objects already, such as String, Time, Collections, Threads (Win32/Linux/Unix/MacOSX), Semaphores, Mutexes and an advanced set of networking classes for acting both as client and server for any number of protocols including acting as a web server and telnet server.

 

The library is used in a number of projects:

 

  • The CAVIAR project (Context Aware Vision using Image-based Active Recognition) uses the CoreLibrary for CVML support (see CVML example).
  • Psyclone is a powerful platform for building modular, distributed systems and is fully based on the CoreLibrary for complete OS and architecture independence.
  • The C++ implementation of the AIR protocol is fully based on the CoreLibrary.

 

The CoreLibrary is created and maintained by: Communicative Machines
