Welcome to LFC

LFC is a general C++ class library/framework, trying to provide OO abstractions for:

• common data structures (STL extensions)
• common algorithms (STL extensions)
• OS services (files, inet sockets, threads, ...)
• GUI support
• database access
• common programming patterns (MVC, ...)
• callbacks/signals, RTTI, persistence
• data streams/filters
• multimedia (including games development support, 3d graphics)
• net protocols: http,ftp, ...
• regular expressions / parsing

LFC is developed under LGPL, guided by the fallowing principles/goals:

• simple to use/extend
• fully documented
• cross platform (Win32, Linux, FreeBSD, ...)
• fully use standard C++: classes, templates, exceptions, ...

For a list of some ideas for future development read notes/ideas from source tree. You are welcome to add your suggestions for features on the feature request page.

• compiles/work under: Win9x, WinNT, Win2K, Linux, FreeBSD
• available modules:
  • callbacks/signals
  • RTTI extensions
  • polymorphic persistence
  • ref-counted smart pointers
  • streams: console, file, mem, sockets / text format, bin format
  • threads: threads, mutex, semaphore, guards, ...
  • date/time
  • serial communications support

Please report bugs, and contact us if you have suggestions/ideas! LFC is under LGPL and if you want to contribute you are welcome!

Thank you,
LFC development team.
