Of the top of my head, I think FLTK
It's small enough to be statically linked (<100K!), and the latest cvs version support "themes", the holly grail of sexiness for all those non PD users out there. No wonder why themes are sometimes called "skins"...
Oh rackum frackum - even FLTK is doing this now? I guess all the actual bugs in software must have been found and corrected if the programmers have time for this.
Ok, this is what prompted me to post. I thought that this argument finally got put to rest years ago. Ok, I'll bite : why would using C++ for a given application, result in slower run-time performance than the same thing coded in C?
C++ is a kludge, but not always a bad one.
Yeah, whatever. I hope you realize that you answered some totally unasked question, that is completely independent of your initial assertion, namely that C++ is slow.
Yes, I agree C++ is a kludge, and not always a bad one.
I don't agree that for an equivalent program, it is slower than C. I was actually optimistic that you would actually provide some examples (I don't mind at all being proved wrong).
Fltk is a good example. I just compiled version 2-cvs, and the examples are very convincing.
Good. I'm glad you like it :-)
But perhaps you should spend a bit of time with it, together with some C++ textbooks.
Sorry.
