Is C++ good for API?
The benefit of creating an API (“application programming interface”) using C++ is that the API will be more accessible to C++ programs. I.e., it allows you to use all the power of C++ abstraction mechanisms to directly express the functionality of your library/framework.
What is STL API?
The Standard Template Library (STL) is a set of C++ template classes to provide common programming data structures and functions such as lists, stacks, arrays, etc. It is a library of container classes, algorithms, and iterators.
What is C++ API?
C/C++ application programming interfaces (APIs) are used to access IBM® i resources. These APIs are intended primarily for C/C++ programmers. They are also called from other languages that support calling C-style APIs.
How do you write API in C++?
Creating C++ API Library
- Provide a native C++ API that users may instantiate C++ classes, pass data around, all in C++, without a C-only wraper.
- Allow methods to take as parameters and return C++ objects, especially STL types (std::string, std::vector, etc)
- No custom allocators.
Is C++ STL open source?
Microsoft has begun their next open-source expedition by open-sourcing an important piece of MSVC / Visual Studio… STL, their C++ standard library. In a surprising move, this week announced their C++ Standard Library used by their MSVC tool-chain and Visual Studio is now open-source.
Is C++ open source?
C++ itself is a language, not a specific implementation, so there’s no source code available for the standard/language itself. Some C++ implementations are open source (e.g., Gnu and Clang).
Is C++ good for machine learning?
C++ has a faster run-time when compared to other programming languages and thus is suitable for machine learning since fast and reliable feedback is essential in machine learning. C++ also has rich library support that is used in machine learning, which we will get to later.
What is Restbed?
Restbed is a comprehensive and consistent programming model for building applications that require seamless and secure communication over HTTP, with the ability to model a range of business processes, designed to target mobile, tablet, desktop and embedded production environments.
Can I use C++ string classes in the Win32 API?
The Win32 API exposes several features using a pure-C interface. This means there are no C++ string classes available natively to exchange text at the Win32 API boundaries. Instead, raw C-style character pointers are used.
Do all STL classes have the same size?
There is no guarantee that a given STL type is laid out the same way in memory, nor is there a guarantee that a given STL class has the same size from one implementation to another (in particular, debug builds may put extra debug information into a given STL type).
Why can’t STL strings be stored in ATL?
With ATL, WTL and MFC, the framework implements the “glue” code between the Win32 C interface layer and CString, hiding it under the hood, but this convenience isn’t available with STL strings. For the purpose of this article, let’s assume the strings are stored in Unicode UTF-16 format, which is the default Unicode encoding for Windows APIs.
How to pass STL objects from one DLL to another?
You cannot safely pass STL objects across DLL boundaries, unless all the modules (.EXE and .DLLs) are built with the same C++ compiler version and the same settings and flavors of the CRT, which is highly constraining, and clearly not your case.
