I know this kind of question is asked a lot but I have a set of requirements:
1. Be able to compile and develop in Visual Studio on Windows.
2. Be somewhat modern - Async/threaded, clean.
3. C++
I've looked at thrift, messagepack, and even protobuf+RPC. All of them have massive issues in Windows.
FYI - I'm no pro programmer so asking me to apply out-dated patches to untested code is a pretty big ask. I know thrift has some patches available, but their >2MB big for old versions of thrift, with other patches thrown on top. God knows how well that'll work.
Did you consider using Protobuf together with Boost asio? Of course it is not an RPC library, so that part you would have to do at your own, but it would be asynchronous and fast.
you can use ICE & proto buffer. since version 3.4.1, proto objects have been suported by ICE though there are some limits.

I would like to include a source code editor inside my software.
The editor should provide at least the following features:
syntax coloration;
syntax validation;
auto-commpletion;
code folding;
inline documentation (displays a called function documentation for example);
extensible, so that it can support more languages in the future; support at least C++, Python, Java, Doc-book, XML, Latex.
Additionnaly, the framework should be in C++, as my own software that wishes to include the framework is in C++ as well. Ideally, it would use the Qt framework.
Finally, it should work at least for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
I wish to avoid develop it myself, as this seems a long and difficult task, and as I expect this need is quite common and many solutions already exist in the outside world.
So far, I only found QScintilla, but I am surprised there is not much more choice.
Do you have any other suggestions ?
Perhaps KatePart is what you are looking for? It's the editor component used in the Kate editor and the KDevelop IDE included in KDE.

I apologize to take a topic which is widely discussed before - but I find none of the discussions clearly tell which one to use ultimately. My requirements for a logging framework in my C++ project are
Thread safe.
Should support multiple targets.
Log rotation possible.
A way to identify module's implicitly.
I have been using boost log for some time in a small c++ project and it worked well. But when I took to a large C++ project - I found supporting multiple targets(I mean multiple files for the same project) is a nightmare, No way to implicitly mention which module is logging and above all the compile time has increased at-least 40%.
Now I am looking at alternate framework and think log4cplus and logog seems fill all my requirements. Wanted to get an expert opinion on which would suit the above criteria rather than getting in a soup again after using the library for some time.

Is there any C++ GUI lib here that is fast, has highly customizable looks (like Swing) and ofcourse, of much higher level of abstraction then Win32?
I'm a complete begginer in c++ but loved Java+Swing combo very much for their customizability.
Simply put, I want the lib to be easy to learn, can be customized by simply subclassing and overiding their painting (like Swing) and free :)
Please help me!
P.S. I use orwell dev-c++ portable fork with 32 bit gcc. if that matters.
Qt is what you're looking for: http://qt-project.org
There's plenty: wxWidgets, Qt, GTK+, and many many more. All easy to find in short time using any search engine.

I'm writing a C++ application, that I have to deploy to a server in the future (maybe as a node.js C++ module).
I really need a logging library that help me during the development process.
Now I'm using log4cxx, but I need the code to be portable, so I prefer to have a source file to include in the project. I also need a performing C++ logger, that does not slow down the application in both case with logging turned on and off. Can anyone help me with this choice? My options are:
Log4cplus: simple and easy to use and extend. But performance?
Google-Glog: easiest to use and very very fast. But I need to compile it and it use system flag, I wonder if it is a problem when I use it with node.js.
As far as I know the log4cxx uses Apache runtime as its base so ,portability is not an issue with log4cxx. Also it provides macros for optimized logging. Is there anyother reason you want to shift from log4cxx?

I spent half of the day today unsuccessfully trying to install cpp-netlib on Mac OS X (the goal is to implement asynchronous http requests in C++). When I do 'make' to build and run the tests, I have lots of "no matching constructor" errors coming from Boost. Having read this, I tried installing different versions of Boost (1.49, 1.50, 1.51), but that didn't help. So I'm at the point of thinking of alternatives to cpp-netlib. One possibility is to use Boost.Asio directly, but it would have been great to use something like cpp-netlib as it is much easier to use once it's installed. Any alternatives to cpp-netlib which come to mind? Or any other way I should try to make cpp-netlib pass the tests? Thanks in advance!
