Okay, so what I want to do is to use a string as input (for instance "16*12+25"), convert it to a mathematical evaluation that the computer can comprehend and return the evaluated value. I could probably write this myself, but it would most likely take quite a while and in the end, it still wouldn't end up as good as I'd like it to unless I want to put even more time into it.
So my question is, is there any script, library or api that you know can do this for C++? I have found some for both java, python and .NET. But I am not working with any of these languages and I would like to remain within C++ for as long (hopefully throughout the entire project) as possible. Do you have any good ideas or links?

I found what I was looking for! The downloadable source is C++ and a CodeBlocks project. You can find it here: http://www.speqmath.com/tutorials/expression_parser_cpp/index.html
A far more sophisticated expression parser recommended by Jared: http://www.partow.net/programming/exprtk/index.html

There is nothing built into C++ for this; all the expression parsing code belongs in the compiler. You will need to use some external library. A quick Google search brings up muParser which looks pretty reasonable.

Is there a tool that would allow searching a C++ code base on type signature? Someone recently pointed me to the powerful Haskell tool Hoogle and I'd love to have something similar for our codebase.
To expand, I'm interested in doing queries of the following type:
I have a class Foo, and I know there exists a function that maps it to an associated Bar, but I can't recall the name of the function. I'd like to be able to ask something: "Give me all the functions that take a Foo, and provide a Bar.
A couple of notes:
This is pretty much exactly my question, but for Java. Unfortunately, the solution presented there requires reflection.
It seems like Doxygen has the information to do something like this, however, I'm not sure how one would configure it to provide this. Is there a tool that consumes Doxygen XML to provide this kind of functionality?
Fuzzy answers are acceptable! C++ has a complex enough feature set that the tool may not be 100% accurate -- but it may still be better than nothing.
You can test CppDepend, it has a powerful code query language(CQLinq) to query as you want your code, for example in your case you can execute query like this one:
from m in Methods where m.Params.Where(p=>p.ParamType=="Foo").Count()>0
&& m.ReturnType.Name=="Bar"
select m

I've tried to wade through the official documentation on the Boost Spirit page, but I find it completely unintelligible (despite 25+ years programming experience and an English Language degree) -- it's clearly written by somebody who knows the system well (good) but assumes that the reader also knows the system well (bad). I need something that won't throw sentences like
Parsers and generators in Spirit are fully attributed
clearly a meaning of "attributed" I am unaware of, and a web search doesn't help. Or
Sequences require an attribute type to expose the concept of a fusion sequence, where all elements of that fusion sequence have to be compatible with the corresponding element of the component sequence
What is a fusion sequence? The only one I know is happening in the Sun. How in C++ does one "expose" a "concept"?
Are there any good tutorials describing Boost Spirit from a beginner's perspective?
I've found this documentation to be a good read for Boost.

I am using perl module HTML::DOM (link to CPAN) for building HTML DOM tree from HTML code and then changing it using standard DOM's removeAttribute, removeChild, innerHTML, createElement and so on.
But, I have found out it's really, really slow and eating too much memory (it's fully in perl, anyway). So, I thought that there will be some C/C++ library that does it faster and more efficiently (because it happens in every browser that have JavaScript support).
So far, I have not found anything. Maybe I am searching wrong?
edit: I will add. I would like it if it worked similarly to linked Perl module - by that, I really mean so I could use directly HTML's innerHTML, className, idName... Is it posible, or will I need to use general XML parser and then write these by myself?
edit2: OK, the slowness of the Perl module was actually my fault entirely. However, since I already asked, the question still stands :)
libgdome is a library adding a DOM implementation on top of libxml2.
Many of the faster higher-level language modules for this purpose (such as, in the Python world, lxml) tend to be built directly on libxml2, doing the DOM bits themselves.

Can anyone point out a good C++ library that can do 2D numerical integration. It needs to be able to accept a 2D array of known values, and the spacing between the points can be assumed to be constant (for a start).
It is preferable that it have a license which allows modifying the code as needed.
It's actually a C library, but if the GPL licensing terms work for you try:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/
You will want to check out the Monte Carlo integration options outlined here:

This Fortran library is easy to link to from C++ and is in public domain:
http://gams.nist.gov/cgi-bin/serve.cgi/Module/CMLIB/ADAPT/2967
It's single precision but it's quite easy to modify the sources (get "full sources" and go through every function) to switch to double precision.
http://itpp.sourceforge.net/current/
Try this. It can do what you ask for and more! And you can modify the code as much as you like.
I've read somewhere that you can extract libraries out of GNU Octave's code and use the C++ code in your own applications. I'm not sure if that's an easy task, but you can give it a try if you have the time.
