Open Source C++ Software Development Software for Windows

Boost provides free portable peer-reviewed C++ libraries. The emphasis is on portable libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library. See http://www.boost.org

This library is now obsolete and no longer being maintained. It has been superceded by my Clipper2 library - https://github.com/AngusJohnson/Clipper2.

Dlib is a C++ toolkit containing machine learning algorithms and tools for creating complex software in C++ to solve real world problems.

The database access library for C++ programmers that provides the illusion of embedding SQL in regular C++ code, staying entirely within the C++ standard.

Dlib is a modern C++ toolkit containing machine learning algorithms and tools for creating complex software in C++ to solve real world problems. It is used in both industry and academia in a wide range of domains including robotics, embedded devices, mobile phones, and large high performance computing environments. Dlib's open source licensing allows you to use it in any application, free of charge. Good unit test coverage, the ratio of unit test lines of code to library lines of code is about 1 to 4. The library is tested regularly on MS Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X systems. No other packages are required to use the library, only APIs that are provided by an out of the box OS are needed. There is no installation or configure step needed before you can use the library. All operating system specific code is isolated inside the OS abstraction layers which are kept as small as possible.

A modern, C++-native, test framework for unit-tests, TDD and BDD - using C++14, C++17 and later (C++11 support is in v2.x branch, and C++03 on the Catch1.x branch). Catch2 is mainly a unit testing framework for C++, but it also provides basic micro-benchmarking features and simple BDD macros. Catch2's main advantage is that using it is both simple and natural. Test names do not have to be valid identifiers, assertions look like normal C++ boolean expressions, and sections provide a nice and local way to share set-up and tear-down code in tests. You are on the devel branch, where the v3 version is being developed. v3 brings a bunch of significant changes, the big one being that Catch2 is no longer a single-header library. Catch2 now behaves as a normal library, with multiple headers and separately compiled implementation.

luabind is a library, inspired by and similar to Boost.Python, that helps you create bindings between C++ and Lua. It has the ability to expose functions and classes, written in C++, to Lua.

STXXL is an implementation of the C++ standard template library STL for external memory (out-of-core) computations, containers, and algorithms that can process huge volumes of data that only fit on disks.

The POCO C++ Libraries are powerful cross-platform C++ libraries for building network- and internet-based applications that run on desktop, server, mobile, IoT, and embedded systems. Whether building automation systems, industrial automation, IoT platforms, air traffic management systems, enterprise IT application and infrastructure management, security and network analytics, automotive infotainment and telematics, financial or healthcare, C++ developers have been trusting the POCO C++ Libraries for 15+ years and deployed it in millions of devices. Create software for connected embedded devices running Linux, Windows Embedded or QNX. Create cross-platform backends in C++ for iOS and Android applications and combine it with a native or HTML5-based user interface. Create software for IoT devices that talk to cloud backends over HTTP REST APIs. See macchina.io for an IoT platform built with POCO.

Turtle is a C++ mock object library based on Boost with a focus on usability, simplicity and flexibility.

This is a C++ logging library implementation which is accepted to Boost. It aims for extensibility and flexibility while moderately affecting user's application performance. Since being accepted, the library is developed and distributed as a part of Boost. Please, visit www.boost.org for more info.

The CML (Configurable Math Library) is a free, open-source C++ vector, matrix, and quaternion math library designed for use in games, graphics, computational geometry, and related applications. Please note: the CML source has moved to GitHub: https://github.com/demianmnave/CML

The motivation of pion is not to build yet another web server or web application framework, but to help provide basic HTTP(S) functionality to new or existing C++ applications. If you're working on a Boost C++ application and would just like to use HTTP to provide a simple user interface or interact with run-time data, then pion might be for you.

The OpenCL Kernel Compiler compiles OpenCL kernel files and presents any compilation errors in a form commonly used by "regular" C/C++ compilers. It is intended to be used as a supporting tool for application developers working with OpenCL. Version 0.3.0 adds additional features for saving compiled binaries and selecting platforms/devices.

PapaFactory is a header-only C++ library providing three generic abstract factories. The library is licensed under the Boost software license which allows incorporation into propriety software.

A C++ library for creating textual Domain Specific Languages (DSLs).

Logger for serial port. Primary use for debugging embedded devices which haven't gdb server support.

NOTICE: This project has transitioned to a new project called asapp that is better formatted to reflect standard C++ libraries. AsioExpress is a framework for developing applications using the boost asio library. It has everything you need to quickly get an asio based application up and running so that you can focus on the application logic and not the asio plumbing. AsioExpress provides a number of classes to extend the feature set of asio. It strives to fit alongside the asio library and it tries not to limit access to any features. Features include: robust error handling, TCP client/server API, IPC client/server API, synchronization primitives, extended timer support, async logging, internal services, and coroutine support.

Assorted projects. General-purpose libraries for Python, C++, Scala, bash, and others. Meta-programming tools. System utilities. UI components. Web APIs. Configuration files. Benchmarks. Programming competition entries. And much more.

A Boost.Application allows a developer run your application as a Windows service, as a Unix/Linux daemon, or as a usual interactive application (terminal) without the need to add extra code, the library abstract OS specific API and provide a ease common interface. To version beta4 (aspect based), check :https://github.com/retf/Boost.Application

Boost.Build V2 Scripts for various libraries. Currently supported gd-2.0.33, jpeg-6b, libpng-1.2.5, mxml-2.5, otl, wt-2.1.5, zlib-1.2.3.

Simple header-only library written in C++, for lexical analysis of files in PDF format

CVM C++ Class Library encapsulates concepts of vector and square, band, symmetric and hermitian matrices in Euclidean space of real and complex numbers. It utilizes BLAS and LAPACK Fortran libraries. See http://cvmlib.com for binaries and more details.
