xcross VS C++ Middleware Writer

Inspired by rust-embedded/cross, I've created xcross: a Python script and series of docker images to simplify cross-compiling to a wide variety of architectures. In addition, xcross can be run from both Linux and Windows hosts (and likely macOS).

I use unique_ptr, but not as much as I used to. I've never used shared_ptr. This is my library that uses some C++ 2020 and 2017 features.

I started with Linux in the late 90s. I switched to FreeBSD around 2013 and returned to Linux a couple of years ago. Io_uring was the main reason I had to come back. At first I ported the back tier of my code generator back to Linux and then I ported the middle tier from being POSIX based to Linux.

Are there others that minimize multithreading and opt for multi-processing with single threaded processes? Call me a simpleton, but this approach eliminates some of the most difficult bugs by design. Here's an example of one of my single-threaded servers. The network io is asynchronous, but the file io is synchronous. Thanks

I've been working on this program for 13 years now. At one point it had 7 global variables and none of them were const. Now it has 4 global variables and 2 of them are const.

in one of my programs. I'm thinking about changing it to:

It's a merger of services and code generation: an on-line code generator that outputs low-level messaging and serialization code based on high-level input. It's implemented as a 3-tier system and uses output from the code generator in each tier. There's also a traditional library that's part of the repo.

Support for more data types for message lengths. Previously message lengths were always 4 bytes. I used this, for example, to reduce the size of the type used for message lengths between the front and middle tiers of the CMW from 4 bytes to 2 bytes.

More concretely, I use it to generate code that's used in each of the tiers mentioned above. The link is to one example of that.
