U++, formally known as Ultimate++ - is a C++ RAD framework that aims to reduce the code complexity of typical desktop applications by extensively exploiting C++ features. Programs created with it can work on multiple operating systems and hardware architectures without the need to write platform-specific code.
It possesses an integrated development environment called TheIDE[3] that is designed to handle all library features.
Features
The major U++ features are:
- Includes an IDE with a layout designer.
- Uses heavily RAII and auto pointers-like mechanisms to avoid manual memory management and even to limit the use of pointers in the code [4]
- Can emulate[5] native widgets look and feel. On X11 systems, Ultimate++ supports GTK+ widgets look and feel.
- The standard distribution comes with U++ sources included, even the IDE ones.
- Uses NTL as a template system instead of STL.
- Built-in support for databases, with libraries for connecting to various database systems.
- Designed for high-performance application use cases with a low memory footprint and efficient use of system resources.
- Retains backward compatibility, allowing developers to upgrade to new versions of the framework without breaking existing code.
- Provides full support for Unicode, allowing developers to create applications that can handle different languages and character sets.
- Easy to integrate with other libraries, including third-party libraries and legacy code.
- Document editor[6] for writing documentation for people to understand the code or what you're working with.
- Code assisting[7] is built-in to it. Auto-completion and other functions work on it.
- Creating icons[8] for your application is possible without much work.
- Can work with Android NDK and SDK[9]
- Web development and other features [10]
