    Shaderc

    Shaderc

    A collection of tools, libraries, and tests for Vulkan shader

    Shaderc is a collection of tools and libraries for compiling shaders—small programs that run on GPUs—into SPIR-V, the intermediate representation used by the Vulkan graphics API. It provides both a command-line tool (glslc) and a C/C++ library (libshaderc) that wrap the functionality of glslang (the Khronos reference compiler for GLSL) and SPIRV-Tools to deliver a modern, scriptable, and efficient shader compilation workflow. The glslc compiler offers a GCC/Clang-like interface for building GLSL and HLSL shaders, making it easy to integrate into existing build systems. Meanwhile, libshaderc exposes a stable API that allows developers to programmatically compile shader strings into SPIR-V modules within graphics engines and tools. Shaderc supports advanced features such as file inclusion (#include), concurrency, and cross-platform builds, and it maintains backward compatibility for long-term projects.

    The fastest and simplest library for SQLite3 in Node.js

    The fastest and simplest library for SQLite3 in Node.js. Full transaction support. High performance, efficiency, and safety. Easy-to-use synchronous API (better concurrency than an asynchronous API... yes, you read that correctly). Support for user-defined functions, aggregates, virtual tables, and extensions. 64-bit integers (invisible until you need them). Worker thread support (for large/slow queries). Help this project stay strong! better-sqlite3 is used by thousands of developers and engineers on a daily basis. Long nights and weekends were spent keeping this project strong and dependable, with no ask for compensation or funding, until now. In most cases, if you're attempting something that cannot be reasonably accomplished with better-sqlite3, it probably cannot be reasonably accomplished with SQLite3 in general.

    Faiss

    Faiss

    Library for efficient similarity search and clustering dense vectors

    Faiss is a library for efficient similarity search and clustering of dense vectors. It contains algorithms that search in sets of vectors of any size, up to ones that possibly do not fit in RAM. It also contains supporting code for evaluation and parameter tuning. Faiss is written in C++ with complete wrappers for Python/numpy. Some of the most useful algorithms are implemented on the GPU. It is developed by Facebook AI Research. Faiss contains several methods for similarity search. It assumes that the instances are represented as vectors and are identified by an integer, and that the vectors can be compared with L2 (Euclidean) distances or dot products. Vectors that are similar to a query vector are those that have the lowest L2 distance or the highest dot product with the query vector. It also supports cosine similarity, since this is a dot product on normalized vectors.

    cpp-httplib

    cpp-httplib

    A C++ header-only HTTP/HTTPS server and client library

    A C++11 single-file header-only cross-platform HTTP/HTTPS library. It's extremely easy to setup. Just include the httplib.h file in your code! This is a multi-threaded 'blocking' HTTP library. If you are looking for a 'non-blocking' library, this is not the one that you want. SSL support is available with CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT. libssl and libcrypto should be linked. When using SSL, it seems impossible to avoid SIGPIPE in all cases, since on some operating systems, SIGPIPE can only be suppressed on a per-message basis, but there is no way to make the OpenSSL library do so for its internal communications. If your program needs to avoid being terminated on SIGPIPE, the only fully general way might be to set up a signal handler for SIGPIPE to handle or ignore it yourself. cpp-httplib officially supports only the latest Visual Studio. It might work with former versions of Visual Studio, but I can no longer verify it.

    QtContribs - Harbour Qt Projects

    New home to HbQt, HbIDE & HbDBU once Harbour SVN hosted contribs.

    This is the repository to host all those Harbour's contrib libraries and applications which could not comply with strict Harbour project goals but had the potentiality to march into the future. The goal is to keep this repository parallel with Harbours contrib and use the same build system which Harbour uses. This way it will be possible easily to shift any library/application from here to Harbour or vice-verse. As I am totally ignorant of Harbour's build system, it will be appreciated if someone knowledgeable take over this responsibility, which might be one-time task.

    ArduinoJson

    ArduinoJson

    JSON library for Arduino and embedded C++. Simple and efficient

    ArduinoJson is a C++ JSON library for Arduino and IoT (Internet Of Things). ArduinoJson has a simple and intuitive syntax to handle objects and arrays. ArduinoJson supports both JSON serialization and deserialization. ArduinoJson uses a fixed memory allocation, allowing to work on devices with very little RAM. ArduinoJson can filter large inputs to keep only fields that are relevant to your application, thereby saving a lot of memory. ArduinoJson can parse directly from an input Stream or std::istream. ArduinoJson can produce compact or prettified documents. ArduinoJson works directly with strings stored in program memory. ArduinoJson supports two coding styles, with implicit or explicit casts. ArduinoJson deduplicates strings in the JSON document. When you have several identical keys or values, the JsonDocument only stores one of each. In practice, this feature reduces memory consumption by 20-30%.
