[clisp-list] [OT] Cross-platform Multi-threading library and sockets library in C

[Henry L. <hen...@gm...>]

Hi ---

  I found this two interesting cross-platform libraries. I don't know
it's of any interest to CLISP developers, but it claims to be portable
across Unixes and Windows (and OpenVMS, too).
  Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated to iMatrix, I just hope this helps
CLISP achieve maximum cross-platform functionality.

"The SMT Kernel

The SMT (Simple Multi-Threading kernel) from iMatix is an add-on for
the Libero programming tool that lets you write portable
high-performance multithreaded programs based (..)

You can use the SMT kernel for:

    * Internet programming: where each connection is handled by one thread.
    * Real-time programming: where multilevel finite-state machines
work cooperatively.
    * GUI development: where events are collected from the GUI and
passed to threads for processing.

The SMT kernel's main features are:

    * 100% portability.
    * Strong object orientation.
    * Support for multiple FSM programs within one application.
    * Support for multiple threads within one FSM program.
    * Support for Internet protocols (TCP/IP, UDP/IP).
    * Based on Libero program development method.
    * Standard agents: http, file transfer, authorization, logging,
console, timing, socket i/o.
    * Unrestricted number of threads, queue sizes, etc. "

"The Standard Function Library

The SFL (Standard Function Library) from iMatix is a portable function
library for C/C++ programs. The SFL is the result of many years'
development, and is provided as Open Source software for the benefit
of the Internet community.

You may want to go straight to the Table of Contents. Also, this
documentation is available as a single compressed zip file or gzipped
tar file, suitable for printing.

The SFL is written in ANSI C and has been ported to MS-DOS, Windows,
OS/2, Linux and other UNIX systems (IBM AIX, SunOS, HP/UX, Solaris,
NetBSD, FreeBSD, SCO OpenServer, Digital UNIX) and Digital OpenVMS. It
comes with complete sources and documentation in HTML.

The SFL provides about 450 functions that cover these areas:

    * Compression, encryption, and encoding;
    * Datatype conversion and formatting;
    * Dates, times, and calendars;
    * Directory and environment access;
    * User and process groups;
    * Inverted bitmap indices;
    * Symbol tables;
    * Error message files;
    * Configuration files;
    * String manipulation and searching;
    * File access;
    * Internet socket access;
    * Internet programming (MIME, CGI);
    * SMTP (e-mail) access;
    * Server (batch) programming;
    * Program tracing. "
