Top 12 C++ Microsoft Projects

LightGBM
A fast, distributed, high performance gradient boosting (GBT, GBDT, GBRT, GBM or MART) framework based on decision tree algorithms, used for ranking, classification and many other machine learning tasks.

Microsoft Research Detours Package
Detours is a software package for monitoring and instrumenting API calls on Windows. It is distributed in source code form.
Project mention: Implementing Global Injection and Hooking in Windows | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-04-19If you need to hook methods in a remote process (and also inject payload), you may also consider the Detours library [1]. It has a straightforward API and its repository contains many interesting samples. One thing I was missing in the library was a function to inject code into a running process. So I wrote takedetour [2] which I use as a template for my other projects. Maybe you will find it useful as well.
-

DirectXTK
The DirectX Tool Kit (aka DirectXTK) is a collection of helper classes for writing DirectX 11.x code in C++
Project mention: Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition - How to play with the new graphics BUT with the old fonts | reddit.com/r/JRPG | 2022-04-10Thank you for your reply, I make spritefont from this link https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXTK/wiki/SpriteFont but still cannot show the right font Maybe have to check parameter of old font

However I've found that MS TexConv from the DirectXTex package is the best way for loosing less quality, so I save my textures as lossless PNGs and use TexConv with my own wrapper then.
-
DirectXMath
DirectXMath is an all inline SIMD C++ linear algebra library for use in games and graphics apps
Project mention: Eigen: A C++ template library for linear algebra | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-04-04I never really used GLM, but Eigen was substantially slower than DirectXMath https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXMath for these things. Despite the name, 99% of that library is OS agnostic, only a few small pieces (like projection matrix formula) are specific to Direct3D. When enabled with corresponding macros, inline functions from that library normally compile into pretty efficient manually vectorized SSE, AVX or NEON code.
The only major issue, DirectXMath doesn’t support FP64 precision.
