Perfetto
Production-grade client-side tracing, profiling, and analysis
Perfetto is a production-grade tracing platform for Android, Linux, and Chrome that captures extremely detailed information about what a system is doing over time. It’s designed around a low-overhead producer/consumer model: instrumented components (“producers”) write binary events into shared memory buffers and a collector (“service”) reliably streams them to storage. The data model spans kernel and userspace, so you can stitch together CPU scheduling, app lifecycles, binder/IPC hops, GPU work, power and thermal signals, file I/O, heap samples, and more into a single coherent timeline. Perfetto’s ecosystem includes a web-based UI that can load multi-GB traces directly in the browser and an offline “trace processor” that exposes the trace as a queryable SQL-like table schema for deep analysis and automation. It integrates natively with Android (replacing older atrace/Systrace paths) and can sit alongside custom instrumentation in apps or services through its SDKs. -

linuxdeployqt
Makes Linux applications self-contained by copying in the libraries
Makes Linux applications self-contained by copying in the libraries and plugins that the application uses, and optionally generates an AppImage. Can be used for Qt and other applications. This Linux Deployment Tool, linuxdeployqt, takes an application as input and makes it self-contained by copying in the resources that the application uses (like libraries, graphics, and plugins) into a bundle. The resulting bundle can be distributed as an AppDir or as an AppImage to users, or can be put into cross-distribution packages. It can be used as part of the build process to deploy applications written in C, C++, and other compiled languages with systems like CMake, qmake, and make. When used on Qt-based applications, it can bundle a specific minimal subset of Qt required to run the application. This tool is conceptually based on the Mac Deployment Tool, macdeployqt in the tools applications of the Qt Toolkit, but has been changed to a slightly different logic. -

ESP32 BLE Keyboard library
Bluetooth LE Keyboard library for the ESP32
This library allows you to make the ESP32 act as a Bluetooth Keyboard and control what it does. Compatible with Android. Compatible with Windows. Compatible with Linux. Compatible with MacOS X (not stable, some people have issues, doesn't work with old devices). Compatible with iOS (not stable, some people have issues, doesn't work with old devices). There is also Bluetooth-specific information that you can set (optional): Instead of BleKeyboard bleKeyboard; you can do BleKeyboard bleKeyboard("Bluetooth Device Name", "Bluetooth Device Manufacturer", 100);. (Max length is 15 characters, anything beyond that will be truncated.) By default the battery level will be set to 100%, the device name will be ESP32 Bluetooth Keyboard and the manufacturer will be Espressif. This feature is meant to compensate for some applications and devices that can't handle fast input and will skip letters if too many keys are sent in a small time frame. -

IRremoteESP8266
Infrared remote library for ESP8266/ESP32
Infrared remote library for ESP8266/ESP32. Send and receive infrared signals with multiple protocols. This library enables you to send and receive infra-red signals on an ESP8266 or an ESP32 using the Arduino framework using common 940nm IR LEDs and common IR receiver modules. e.g. TSOP{17,22,24,36,38,44,48} demodulators etc. Usage of the library has been slightly changed in v2.0. You will need to change your usage to work with v2.0 and beyond. You can read more about the changes required on our Upgrade to v2.0 page. The library has changed from using constants declared as #define to const with the appropriate naming per the C++ style guide. This may potentially cause old programs to not compile. The most likely externally used #defines have been aliased for limited backward compatibility for projects using the old style. Going forward, only the new constant name style will be supported for new protocol additions. -

JsonCpp
A C++ library for interacting with JSON
JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format. It can represent numbers, strings, ordered sequences of values, and collections of name/value pairs. JsonCpp is a C++ library that allows manipulating JSON values, including serialization and deserialization to and from strings. It can also preserve existing comment in unserialization/serialization steps, making it a convenient format to store user input files. The branch 00.11.zis a new branch, its major version number 00 is to show that it is different from 0.y.z and 1.y.z, the main purpose of this branch is to make a balance between the other two branches. Thus, users can use some new features in this new branch that introduced in 1.y.z, but can hardly applied into 0.y.z. You can download and install JsonCpp using the vcpkg dependency manager. The JsonCpp port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. -

spdlog
Fast C++ logging library
spdlog is a header only library. Just copy the files under include to your build tree and use a C++11 compiler. It provides a python like formatting API using the bundled fmt lib. spdlog takes the "include what you need" approach, your code should include the features that actually needed. For example, if you only need rotating logger, you need to include "spdlog/sinks/rotating_file_sink.h". spdlog provides various log targets, which are, rotating log files, daily log files, console logging (colors supported), syslog, Windows event log, and Windows debugger (OutputDebugString(..)). Easily extendable with custom log targets. Log filtering, log levels can be modified in runtime as well as in compile time. Support for loading log levels from argv or from environment var. Backtrace support, store debug messages in a ring buffer and display later on demand. -

cpp-httplib
A C++ header-only HTTP/HTTPS server and client library
A C++11 single-file header-only cross-platform HTTP/HTTPS library. It's extremely easy to setup. Just include the httplib.h file in your code! This is a multi-threaded 'blocking' HTTP library. If you are looking for a 'non-blocking' library, this is not the one that you want. SSL support is available with CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT. libssl and libcrypto should be linked. When using SSL, it seems impossible to avoid SIGPIPE in all cases, since on some operating systems, SIGPIPE can only be suppressed on a per-message basis, but there is no way to make the OpenSSL library do so for its internal communications. If your program needs to avoid being terminated on SIGPIPE, the only fully general way might be to set up a signal handler for SIGPIPE to handle or ignore it yourself. cpp-httplib officially supports only the latest Visual Studio. It might work with former versions of Visual Studio, but I can no longer verify it. -

Shaderc
A collection of tools, libraries, and tests for Vulkan shader
Shaderc is a collection of tools and libraries for compiling shaders—small programs that run on GPUs—into SPIR-V, the intermediate representation used by the Vulkan graphics API. It provides both a command-line tool (glslc) and a C/C++ library (libshaderc) that wrap the functionality of glslang (the Khronos reference compiler for GLSL) and SPIRV-Tools to deliver a modern, scriptable, and efficient shader compilation workflow. The glslc compiler offers a GCC/Clang-like interface for building GLSL and HLSL shaders, making it easy to integrate into existing build systems. Meanwhile, libshaderc exposes a stable API that allows developers to programmatically compile shader strings into SPIR-V modules within graphics engines and tools. Shaderc supports advanced features such as file inclusion (#include), concurrency, and cross-platform builds, and it maintains backward compatibility for long-term projects. -

TensorFlow
TensorFlow is an open source library for machine learning
Originally developed by Google for internal use, TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. Available across all common operating systems (desktop, server and mobile), TensorFlow provides stable APIs for Python and C as well as APIs that are not guaranteed to be backwards compatible or are 3rd party for a variety of other languages. The platform can be easily deployed on multiple CPUs, GPUs and Google's proprietary chip, the tensor processing unit (TPU). TensorFlow expresses its computations as dataflow graphs, with each node in the graph representing an operation. Nodes take tensors—multidimensional arrays—as input and produce tensors as output. The framework allows for these algorithms to be run in C++ for better performance, while the multiple levels of APIs let the user determine how high or low they wish the level of abstraction to be in the models produced. Tensorflow can also be used for research and production with TensorFlow Extended. -

nghttp2
HTTP/2 C Library and tools
nghttp2 is an implementation of HTTP/2 and its header compression algorithm HPACK in C. The framing layer of HTTP/2 is implemented as a form of reusable C library. On top of that, we have implemented HTTP/2 client, server and proxy. We have also developed a load test and benchmarking tool for HTTP/2. We have participated in httpbis working group since HTTP/2 draft-04, which is the first implementation draft. Since then we have updated nghttp2 library constantly to the latest specification and nghttp2 is now one of the most mature HTTP/2 implementations. HTTP/2 utilizes header compression method called HPACK. We offer HPACK encoder and decoder are available as public API. nghttp2 library itself is a bit low-level. The experimental high-level C++ API is also available. We have Python binding of this library, but we have not covered everything yet.
