Modern Concepts Applied to C++ - Object Persistence Reflection Events Garbage Collection and Thread Safety in C++

C++ is still one of the most powerful programming languages with an amazinglist of features. However many new languages and programming paradigmshave arisen so the choice of the best environment for specific applicationsbecomes more difficult. Therefore the main question of this book ishow to apply capabilities of new concepts to C++.The book covers topics like Object Persistence Reflection Value ObservationEvent Calling Garbage Collection and even Thread Safety. For applying theseabilities the approach of intelligent data containers called properties ispicked up.Furthermore in scope of this book a template-based C++ Container Librarywhich implements the mentioned concepts has been developed. Its nameProperty Set Library (PSL) is based on the used property approach and itsstructure and way of implementation is also described in detail.This book is not only for C++ programmers who are interested in details aboutusable techniques the freely available library can also be used practically.
