The UDS Collection

• Logging of memory [de]allocations
• Zombie objects
• Backtraces at runtime
• Exception system for (almost) fatal errors. A core can be dumped when the exception is thrown.

• Function objects that are more flexible than STL function objects
• Threads, Mutexes, Semaphores Posix Threads wrapper classes
• Socket classes for both connection and packet oriented protocols
• ProcStream class
• Classes for reference counting that make it easy to implement copy-on-write and garbage collection.
• Simple pseudo-random number generators
• Several "convenience functions" to create temporary file names; open files, fork, wait etc. and throw an exception if something goes wrong
• Logging class that can send log messages to both a log file and the system logger
• Alternative file stream that provides low-level access to the file descriptor and separate i/o file positions
• M4 macros A set of useful macros for your configure.in

• Download and Installation describes how to download, configure, and install the software
• Features Brief description of UDS
