Features in JCore library

JCore provides a set of classes that

1. Implement generic, useful concepts such as dynamic arrays
2. Avoid dangerous features of C++ (e.g. JPtrArray instead of operator new[])
3. Implement all of the system independent code from which JX widgets are derived

More specifically, JCore provides the following major features

• Dynamic
  • strings
  • arrays
  • compressed arrays
  • hashed arrays
  • linked lists
  • queues
  • stacks

• Memory Manager that tracks memory usage and tells you where in your source code that memory is leaking or being double-deleted. The level of checking is determined at run-time, so you never have to recompile.

• Flexible system for objects to broadcast messages to each other

• Support for all aspects of networking via the awe-inspiring ACE library

• Interface to the UNIX file system

• PostScript and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) printing

• Regular expressions via Henry Spencer's regex library

• JFileArray stores a set of arbitrary length elements in a file, optimized for use with a slow disk. Among other things, this provides a foundation for simple database classes. JFileArray's are also nestable, which means that each element can itself be a JFileArray. This can be used to store compound documents and to emulate the Macintosh® Resource Fork.

• Run-time control of the assert() macro via an environment variable so you never have to recompile

• 64-bit clean

• Y2K compliant
