C++ Framework For Fast Development: OOP wrappers and helpers for OpenCL, SQLite, Microsoft RPC API (DCE), Windows Web Services API (SOAP), Extensible Storage Engine (ESENT) and Service Broker (SQL Server). Also: garbage collection, exception handling, logging, stack tracing and command line parser. Ports available from POSIX to Windows 10 Mobile.

Small fixes in preprocessor configuration
Several source files received better names

v2.6.3

3 years ago

New module available for XML parsing with a query oriented interface and support for namespaces, built on top of rapidxml, replacing the previous dependency on POCO XML/Utils

Improved bootstrap, config and build scripts for linux
For better experience in VS, projects for linux build are now using VC++ build system instead of invoking CMake

v2.7.1

3 years ago

Dependencies outside the project were eliminated: no Boost, POCO or VLD
Source code for remaining dependencies are included in the solution to ease build
Integration with VCPKG has been abandoned (git clone brings everything now)
3FD framework has been broken into several smaller projects
Utilities for UWP platform now rely on C++/WinRT (instead of C++/CX)
OpenCL module now uses headers from Khronos v1.2
Broker module now uses nanodbc
Broker module interface was redesigned for robustness (tests also)
Fixed bug in namespace resolver for XML queries
Cleaned up projects configuration (removed XP-toolset build option)
Source code compilation is now compliant with C++17 standard of VS2017 v15.9
Default compiler for Linux platform upgraded to GCC v8.4
Simplified build scripts for Linux

v2.6.2

5 years ago

Ported solution to Visual C++ 2017 (Windows 10 build 10.0.15063) and Clang 3.9
Moved SQLite, RapidXML, POCO, Boost and googletest dependencies to outside the project
In Windows platform, dependencies were moved into VCPKG package management (no support for WinXP, yet)
In Linux, dependencies are now dealt by bootstrap script
Improved bootstrap and build procedures for Linux
Upgraded googletest to v1.8 to be C++17 compliant for msvc compiler
Upgraded also POCO, Boost and SQLite libraries in Linux
Fixed bug integration tests for WWS module
Fixed bug in RPC module that would lead to incorrectly formatted numbers when displaying extended error information
Improved behavior of class for system event for better consistency
Introduced an STL compliant and optimized allocator for better cache efficiency in memory intensive tasks, relying in the newly available memory pools from STL <memory_resources> header
Improved implementation of algorithm for binary search of ranges
Improved unit tests for algorithms
Refactored resource concurrency to use exponential back-off in all eligible cases, including the SQLite wrappers

v2.5.3

6 years ago

Changed build script for Windows to always produce both debug and release output, so as to make it standard tool to generate a framework installation
Added installation of MSSQL ODBC driver to setup shell script for Ubuntu Linux, plus small improvements
Stripped the framework solution out of sample applications, which were moved to their own repositories
Fixed bug in initialization that would lead to stack corruption whenever the configuration file loading/parsing fails
Added capability of loading error info from an HMODULE in WWAPI::AppendDWordErrorMessage
Improved error handler for task chains in UWP apps
Corrected UWP XAML report helper: no longer displaying stack trace of exception
Replaced POCO XML parser in configuration module by RAPIDXML to speed-up initialization, mainly in WinRT apps
SQLite source updated to v3.21.0

v2.5.2

6 years ago

Ported IO serialization utilities to linux
Changed format of XML configuration file
Fixed memory leaks in RPC module and its tests
Fixed crash that would happen upon transportation of exception from another thread
Fixed crash that would happen upon elaboration of report with extended RPC error information
Fixed/improved error output upon WWS errors
Fixed bug in WWS module that would make channel properties (additional to the ones defined in wsutil.exe generated source) be ignored
Reduced memory footprint of WWS hosts
Made compiler optimizations for enhanced instruction sets (SSE2/AVX2) dependent on environment variables MSVC_X86_RELEASE_EINSTSET and MSVC_X64_RELEASE_EINSTSET, so as to keep default built binaries compatible with older hardware
More fault tolerance/graceful degradation in Broker, WWS and RPC modules: attempt to recover from loss of connection or bad reply, using retries when applicable
Added capability of non-hardcoded settings in XML configuration of applications
Changes in most important parameters for tests no longer require recompilation from source because they are now XML configured
Stardardized configuration of VS projects
SQLite source updated to v3.20
Dependency libraries are updated. On Windows: Boost v1.65.1 and POCO C++ 1.7.9. On Linux: Boost v1.65.1 and POCO C++ v1.7.8p3.
