Programs written in C/C++ often include inline assembly: a snippet of architecture-specific assembly code used to access low-level functionalities that are impossible or expensive to simulate in the source language. Although inline assembly…

We introduce the Control Toolbox (CT), an open-source C++ library for efficient modeling, control, estimation, trajectory optimization and Model Predictive Control. The CT is applicable to a broad class of dynamic systems but features…

Objective-C is still the language of choice if users want to run their simulation efficiently under the Swarm environment since the Swarm environment itself was written in Objective-C. The language is a fast, object-oriented and easy to…

C++ does not support run-time resolution of template type arguments. To circumvent this restriction, we can instantiate a template for all possible combinations of type arguments at compile time and then select the proper instance at run…

In C++, objects can be allocated in static memory, on the stack, or on the heap -- the latter being significantly more performance-costly than the former options. We hypothesized that programmers, particularly those involved in widely-used…

Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are integral parts of software systems that require interactions from their users. Software testers have paid special attention to GUI testing in the last decade, and have devised techniques that are…

The computer programs most users interact with daily are driven by a graphical user interface (GUI). However, many scientific applications are used with a command line interface (CLI) for the ease of development and increased flexibility…

We present patterns for Cuda/C++ to write save generic code which works both on the host and device side. Writing templated functions in Cuda/C++ both for the CPU and the GPU bears the problem that in general both __host__ and __device__…

With the advent of WWW and outburst in technology and software development, testing the software became a major concern. Due to the importance of the testing phase in a software development life cycle, testing has been divided into…

Parallel programming remains a daunting challenge, from the struggle to express a parallel algorithm without cluttering the underlying synchronous logic, to describing which devices to employ in a calculation, to correctness. Over the…

Here practical aspects of conducting research via computer simulations are discussed. The following issues are addressed: software engineering, object-oriented software development, programming style, macros, make files, scripts, libraries,…

Over the past two decades, C++ has been adopted as a major HPC language (displacing C to a large extent, andFortran to some degree as well). Idiomatic C++ is clearly how C++ is being used nowadays. But, MPIs syntax and semantics defined and…

C++ 98/03 already has a reputation for overwhelming complexity compared to other programming languages. The raft of new features in C++ 11/14 suggests that the complexity in the next generation of C++ code bases will overwhelm still…

The paper introduces a novel representation for Generalized Planning (GP) problems, and their solutions, as C++ programs. Our C++ representation allows to formally proving the termination of generalized plans, and to specifying their…

Modern unified programming models (such as CUDA and SYCL) that combine host (CPU) code and GPU code into the same programming language, same file, and same lexical scope lack adequate support for GPU code specialization, which is a key…

VeriFast is a prototype tool based on separation logic for modular verification of C and Java programs. We are in the process of adding support for C++. In this report, we describe the features of C++ for which we added support so far, as…

Data structures and algorithms are essential building blocks for programs, and \emph{distributed data structures}, which automatically partition data across multiple memory locales, are essential to writing high-level parallel programs.…

C++ leans towards a memory-inefficient storage of structs: The compiler inserts padding bits, while it is not able to exploit knowledge about the range of integers, enums or bitsets. Furthermore, the language provides no support for…

The traditional split-up into a low level language and a high level language in the design of computer algebra systems may become obsolete with the advent of more versatile computer languages. We describe GiNaC, a special-purpose system…

Some object-oriented GUI toolkits tangle state management with rendering. Functional shells and observable toolkits like GUI Easy simplify and promote the creation of reusable views by analogy to functional programming. We have successfully…
