Top 23 C++ C Projects

  FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library

  Project mention: FlatBuffers vs Protocol Buffer | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2021-01-25

  However, protobuf generally has better support. (Recent grpc versions seem to have broken FB support, unfortunately)

• Sourcetrail

  6 10,421 7.3 C++

  Sourcetrail - free and open-source interactive source explorer

  Project mention: The Database Inside Your Codebase | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-02-16

  I'm with you on this one. I'd actually suggest https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail could be extended to do this, though I haven't found the time yet. For example https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/SourcetrailPythonIndexer and under the hood the file format is SQLite: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/SourcetrailDB

• Apache Thrift

  1 8,117 8.7 C++

  Apache Thrift

  Project mention: Can you share your experience with race conditions in production? | reddit.com/r/java | 2021-01-25

  We were sharing instances of a Thrift TDeserializer across threads. We knew TProtocol was not thread-safe, but the TDeserializer constructor accepts a TProtocolFactory, so we naively assumed the deserialize method would use that to create a new instance of TProtocol for each invocation, but unfortunately, the TDeserializer constructor immediately creates TProtocol and stores it in a member variable, so TDeserializer is not actually thread-safe.

• GuiLite

  1 5,246 6.5 C++

  Project mention: Can I version control directories like /Applications, /Library/Application Support, /usr/local etc using Git? | reddit.com/r/MacOS | 2021-02-13

  Found an interesting tool while searching for a readily available solution: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch but not sure if it is kind of always on or not. Requires port or brew to install it, so not able to test it.

• faust

  1 1,339 9.4 C++

  Functional programming language for signal processing and sound synthesis (by grame-cncm)

  Project mention: Audio DSP language SOUL reaches V1.0 status | reddit.com/r/programming | 2021-01-21

  Had a look at some Faust publications; you're right, very similar concepts; and as it seems it's still actively developed: https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust; and it even supports FPGAs; amazing.

• ccache

  2 1,103 9.6 C++

  ccache – a fast compiler cache

  Project mention: building new kernels frequently | reddit.com/r/archlinux | 2021-02-13

  ccache is a tool for the gcc compiler used to compile the same program over and over again with little downtime. While it may take a few seconds longer to compile a program the first time with ccache, subsequent compiles will be much, much faster.

• enkiTS

  1 947 4.1 C++

  A permissively licensed C and C++ Task Scheduler for creating parallel programs. Requires C++11 support.

  Project mention: Voxel Vendredi 74 | reddit.com/r/VoxelGameDev | 2021-01-08

  GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT for any data which is changed per-frame, such as constant buffers, particle data, SSBO data etc. This allows the data to be written in parallel (I use my tasking system enkiTS).

  cr.h: A Simple C Hot Reload Header-only Library (by fungos)

  Project mention: What are good Lua alternatives as an embeddable language? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-01-17

  Depends on your use case, but I would second the option of just hot reloading c++. I have been experimenting with that (using cr.h) and its great - as long as you make sure your compile and link times are fast enough.

• ImGuiColorTextEdit

• Enzyme

  1 395 9.1 C++

  High-performance automatic differentiation of LLVM. (by wsmoses)

  Project mention: news.ycombinator.com | 2021-02-17

  Hi all, another author here and happy to answer any questions!

  Some more relevant links for the curious

  Github: https://github.com/wsmoses/Enzyme

  Paper: https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2020/file/9332c513ef44b...

  Basically the long story short is that Enzyme has a couple of interesting contributions:

  1) Low-level Automatic Differentiation (AD) IS possible and can be high performance

  2) By working at LLVM we get cross-language and cross-platform AD

  3) Working at the LLVM level actually can give more speedups (since it's able to be performed after optimization)

  4) We made a plugin for PyTorch/TF that uses Enzyme to import foreign code into those frameworks with ease!
