How should i get it, by SVN?
Can i use Eclipse and its Subversive Team Provider add on to manage my changes?
Then if i make some changes how can i commit, who decide that my changes are friendly and good enough?
To be honest i want to try to contribute to some library, because of motivation that contribution provides me on learning C++ details.
I search and read a little about Boost, but i think it is too complicated to be a starting point.
Thus can you provide a path to start and become an open source library contributor?

Well, the very first step is to actually read the FAQ. That's always a good start.
Especially the "How can I contribute to development?" question.

this has been asked plenty of times, but I always find them hard to follow. Its quite simple.
How do you add a library and/or framework to xcode and/ or your xcode project. I need all the steps between downloading the library, to typing the #include in the code. But I also need some context behind each step, other wise it won't stick in my mind and I'll back here in a week. Bear in mind I have an limited understanding of the xcode development environment. Thanks in advance.

Anyone have the algorithm for determine if a hand of Mahjong game wins or not? [closed]

I am reading some introduction of an ancient Chinese game called Mahjong (a bit like poker but far more complicated). I have been spending couple days in writing a program to determine if a given hand is a win hand or not. Do anyone have any idea or know where can I find the free code for that? I only need the part to determine win/lose, I am not looking for the entire project. Thanks.
There is this cool Python library that can be used for scoring of a Mahjong hand given a situation. I know you are working in C++, but since python is highly readable, even to non-python coders, maybe you'll be able to copy/paste and edit the relevant part so you'll be able to use them.
Hope that helps you in some way.

C++ multiple process shared memory implementation [closed]

Here's what I am trying to accomplish.
I want program1 to create a shared memory segment where I store various arrays.
Then, I want program2 to read in the arrays and modify them.
This sounds pretty simple, but for some reason, I cannot find a single example online that shows how this is done. Every example I have found uses a single program (e.g the initialize, read and write are both done by program1).
If somebody can provide an example here, I'm sure this would be hugely beneficial for pretty much everybody that wants to use IPC in C++.
Boost.Interprocess has a guide for the impatient.

I am looking at ways of creating my own DBMS from scratch in C++ (just for fun and educational purposes). I am stuck with the place to start it. Can anybody tell me how I should begin (design) this. Will postgresql code and the architecture be of any help?
Thanks in advance.
Have a look at SQLite and its doccumentation. it might be a good point to start.
Start by reading "Transaction Processing: Concepts & Techniques" by Gray and Reuter. It goes through all the major components of a DBMS. Following the references is very interesting.
It is almost 20 years old now, but still very relevant.

hey i need c++ program to edit windows registry
One good program is Regedit.exe. It is probably written in C++.
Qt has an excellent framework for editing registy - that is, QSettings. And for bonus points, if you happen to change your mind and go Linux, your code would still work, storing your data in .ini-style configuration files.
Take note that Qt is very fat for a C++ library, but also very functional. There's a crazy lot you can do with it. I also absolutely recommend it for GUI.
There are probably a thousand small C++ wrappers for registry access. Of course I wrote my own, too. See the class RegistryKey in my envvc program. It's only read-only access, but you'll get the idea.
