API Design for C++ Martin Ry
Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann

Compare this to what you can do with C++ mixins, there's a lot more to it than just delegating interface members to other objects. I've been thinking a lot about APIs and their design recently. Like any complex task, it tests the limits of our attention and memory. What I learned may appear as common sense by most of you. Since C++ is extensible, one could actually create their own std::basic_streambuf derived class which works with file descriptors, and attach it to an std::ostream, which can then be used with anything that works with a stream for output. I am designing a C/C++ plugin architecture for a solution which comprises of 3 components: a client level; a core level; a visualization level.

In the last couple of weeks I learned two important lessons about API design not by practicing my craft, but from listening to our users. Book Description The design of application programming interfaces can affect the behavior, capabilities, stability, and ease of use of end-user. Published at Wed, 19 Mar 2008 06:45:43 GMT. You are creating an API that developers will interact with. Casablanca is a Microsoft incubation effort to support cloud-based client-server communication in native code using a modern asynchronous C++ API design. There are many different rules and tradeoffs to consider during Java API design. Similar to the pilots' pre-flight checklist, this list helps software designers remember obvious and not so obvious rules while designing Java APIs. Now we have the same API for the simple (and invasive) scenario, but with minimal effort, we have made it possible to use non invasive and smart approaches. I stumbled on When I first started learning C++ (back in the bad old days) I was convinced that any 1st year student could design a better programming language. Even though I live in the C++ world as opposed to Java, 99% of this is directly applicable.
