Flip, a new data model C++ framework focused on real time collaboration

by Gregory Makles

From the article:

Flip is a data model library designed as a framework. It is real-time, collaboration-oriented, transactional, portable, compact and can handle complex data structures.

Essential Features

• Single author applications can be adapted to support simultaneous co-authoring with no extra work
• Undo/Redo and history are automatically handled (no action classes)
• Copy/Paste can be done automatically, or refined to your needs and your data structure
• Allows for offline mode and three-ways merge
• Multi-threaded/multi-process architecture
• Transactional
• Server side is limited to data model code, making it less prone to bugs
• High stability
• Performance oriented, extensible, and future-proof document formats
• At the core of Ohm Studio's unrivaled collaboration solution
• Designed for easy integration with all kind of data structure, including decade(s) old ones

Registration is necessary to download Flip.

How to use PVS-Studio for free

We want to help the software world improve the quality of their code, and get to know static analysis tools better. We are giving the opportunity to use PVS-Studio static code analyzer for free, for educational purposes, so that individual developers and enthusiastic teams could also fully use it.

How to use PVS-Studio for free

by Andrey Karpov

From the article:

Some developers may say that they don't want to see two additional lines of code at the beginning of the file with the comments not related to the project itself. It is their right, and they may simply not use the tool. Or they can purchase a commercial license, and use it without any restrictions. We see these comments as a gratuity for the provided license, and also as an additional way to promote our product. I think it's a good, fair exchange.

The Observable C++ library -- Daniel Dinu

A simple library for implementing the observer pattern.

The Observable C++ library

by Daniel Dinu

From the article:

Whenever I need to subscribe to events, I usually implement some variation of the observer pattern, or (if available) hack and misuse Qt’s signals and slots mechanism to do the job. Because of this, usually I’m not happy with the results; especially if I misuse QObjects.

A better date and time C++ library--Marius Bancila

Did you know that library?

A better date and time C++ library

by Marius Bancila

From the article:

C++11 added a date and time utility library called chrono, available in namespace std::chrono and header <chrono>. The problem with it is that the library is a general purpose one and therefore lacks many useful features, such as working with dates, weeks, calendars, timezones and other related features. Fortunately, a rich date and time library based on chrono has been created by Howard Hinnant and is available on github...
