Graphics File Formats  
One of the key areas for building any sophisticated graphics program is the ability to import and export graphics using standard file formats. This discusses three popular graphics file formats and two common compression schemes for bitmapped data. The three file formats are the Microsoft Windows Bitmap format (BMP), the Adobe Encapsulated PostScript format (EPS), and the CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). The compression schemes that are presented are Run-Length Encoding (RLE) and Limpel-Ziv-Welsh Compression (LZW).

Iterative Examples of Linear Array Permutations Without Recursion  
To gain a familiarity of linear array permutations without the use of recursion. In particular, several "Example" functions independently demonstrate various iterative brute-force procedures to compute all unique combinations of any linear array type or of any character string.

Experiences Converting a C++ Communication Software Framework to Java  
This article presents experiences applying the Java language and its run-time features to convert a large C++ communication software framework to Java. Some of Java's limitations arise from differences between language constructs in C++ and Java. Other limitations are due to weaknesses with Java itself. The article explains various techniques we adopted to workaround Java's limitations and to mask the differences between Java and C++. If you are converting programs written in C++ to Java (or more likely, if you are converting programmers trained in C++ to Java), you will invariably face the same issues that we did.

The C++ Object Model  
C++ is a general-purpose object-oriented programming language, and is intended to be an improved C with object capabilities. In C++, an object is a region of storage with associated semantics. In the context of the object model of C++, the term object refers to an instance of a class. A class defines the characteristics of its instances in terms of members: data members (state) and member functions (methods or operations), and the visibility of these members to other classes. C++ is statically typed.

This is a cross-platform, JavaDoc-like documentation system for C, C++, and IDL. Doxygen can be used to generate an on-line class browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual (in LaTeX) from a set of source files. Generation of man pages is also supported.

Applying Design Patterns to Simplify Signal Handling  
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how patterns like Singleton [GOF], Adapter [GOF], and Hook Method [Pree] can simplify the development of components that avoid common traps and pitfalls associated with signals and signal handling. Signals are "software interrupts" that allow applications to handle various types of events asynchronously. They are particularly useful for supporting multiple "flow of control" in single-threaded processes. Many operating systems support signals, including all versions of UNIX and Win32. In addition, rudimentary support for signals is defined in the ANSI C standard library and the ANSI/ISO C++ standard library.

Cxref is a program that will produce documentation (in LaTeX, HTML, RTF or SGML) including cross-references from C program source code. It has been designed to work with ANSI C, incorporating K&R, and most popular GNU extensions (the cxref program only works for C not C++, I have no plans to produce a C++ version). The documentation for the program is produced from comments in the code that are appropriately formatted. The cross referencing comes from the code itself and requires no extra work.

Object Database Management Group  
The Object Database Management Group (ODMG) was formed to define standard interfaces for object databases. This standardization has since been achieved, and the popularity of object databases is on the rise. Similar to using SQL to access a relational database, the ODMG provides a corresponding standard for object databases. This book, technically reviewed by ODMG members, provides a comprehensive description of C++ object databases, including the C++ and Object Query Language (OQL) interfaces of the ODMG standard.
