libtins is a high-level, multiplatform C++ network packet sniffing and crafting library.

Its main purpose is to provide the C++ developer an easy, efficient, platform and endianess-independent way to create tools which need to send, receive and manipulate network packets.

OpenCog is a diverse assemblage of cognitive algorithms, each embodying their own innovations — but what makes the overall architecture powerful is its careful adherence to the principle of cognitive synergy.

FlatBuffers stores serialized data in buffers in a cross-platform way, supporting format evolution that is fully forwards and backwards compatible through a schema. These buffers can be stored in files or sent across the network as-is, and accessed in-place without parsing overhead.

It doesn't make any sense to talk about lock free data structures without covering such topics as atomic operations, memory model in programming languages, safe memory reclamation, compiler and optimizations used by them, modern CPU designs, — all of these topics will be covered more or less in this series.

C++11 and 14 provide a tool that expresses single ownership of a resource, unique_ptr. When the unique_ptr is deleted, such as when its parent container is destroyed or when it goes out of scope, a custom deleter can be called instead of the delete operator. This behavior is exactly the right mix for managing a resource created by a C library.

C++ is the main development language used by many of Google's open-source projects. As every C++ programmer knows, the language has many powerful features, but this power brings with it complexity, which in turn can make code more bug-prone and harder to read and maintain.

The goal of this guide is to manage this complexity by describing in detail the dos and don'ts of writing C++ code. These rules exist to keep the code base manageable while still allowing coders to use C++ language features productively.

Speed memory access by arranging data to take advantage of CPU caching.

valgrind can run a gdb server so that a gdb can interact with it. valgrind has 2 options to trigger that:

--vgdb=yes,
--vgdb-error=0.

This second option tells valgrind it needs to wait for that many errors before freezing and wait for a gdb to connect. Setting it to 0 will make valgrind to wait for gdb to connect before executing the program.

valgrind --vgdb=yes --vgdb-error=0 ./foo
gdb ./foo
