AXCEL C++ Framework

Introduction

The AXCEL C++ Framework is a collection of interacting classes to provide a simple, elegant, and cross-platform interface to programming. It is to be compilable under GNU/Linux and Windows using GNU C++, MingW, or MSVC++.

I want each function and class method to do one thing and do it well. To not accept long or complex arguments. To have short, easy to type and remember mnemonic names. And to have classes that create the most elegant yet least surprising abstractions.

In other words, I hope to have this project follow the Unix Philisophy. The file class goes right on top of the standard C library functions from stdio.h to create a sort of object oriented C file stream, the file system functions are inspired by classic unix file commands. The stream classes utilize printf and scanf for formatted I/O. The string class uses a few methods which can originally be found in Perl and Ruby. So a lot of this framework has been inspired by the genius designs of existing programming interfaces; I put them together to have something that gives speed, versatility, and flexibility.

Compiling

• GNU C++: g++ -o outfile sourcefiles axcel.cpp -l dl -l pthread
• MingW: g++ -o outfile sourcefiles axcel.cpp -l ws2_32
• MSVC++: cl sourcefiles axcel.cpp ws2_32.lib user32.lib
