Presents:
Resources for Cross-Platform and Portable Software Development
Coming soon.
I apologize that many of you have kept checking back here for the launch of this site only to be turned away empty-handed. It's not that I don't have metric buttloads of portable code resources, or that I'm too lazy to implement my plan for an online community of cross-platform software engineers. No. Not at all.
I've just had too much on my plate to even deal with it.
My iOS App Warp Life will be entering its second Beta Test soon. Coinciding with its Beta 2 drop, I will be placing its entire source code under one of the GNU General Public Licenses. Unfortanulately the main obstacle to that actual Free Software release is that I find the GNU GPL version 3 completely impenetrable.
It's not that I don't support the goals that the GPLv3 aims to promote. It's that I don't understand the text of the license as it is actually written. I've been asking experts for clarification for years now, but No Joy.
Soon Though. I'll retain a high-power corporate law firm if I have to!
Here are a few links to whet your appetite. I cannot even pretend to know when I can roll out my actual planned portable code board, but Real Soon Now. I Promise.
An explanation of microprocessor and compiler dependent byte order, data alignment and structure padding.
Properly managing memory returned by transcode() in the Xerces XML Library: from memory leak to clean, leak-free exception safety.
