C++ String Library Expands Platform and Compiler Support

Str Library is a high-performance C++ string management product with full source code. Newly released version 2.4 includes improved cross-platform and compiler support, a host of new features and improved Wizard utility.

(PRWEB) May 13, 2005 -- Delera Systems has released version 2.4 of Str Library, a set of classes for C++ developers that provide high-performance string manipulation and related features. Str Library offers greater functionality that any alternative string class, while still delivering proven superior performance in the majority of scenarios. With over 5 years on the market, the code offers stability and maturity normally found only in proprietary or ANSI-standardized implementations.

New in this version is an enhanced "Add Library Support" wizard providing immediate application integration; improved support for recent versions of various popular compilers, including gcc 3.4, Borland C++ Builder, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 CTP. In the Windows-based embedded device and handheld space, Str Library continues to provide a compelling alternative to built-in string management. Windows COM developers will find special support for the most common string conversion and management operations in the Win32/ATL/MFC COM/COM+ world.

Projects that require high performance string manipulation without being tied to a particular platform can use the library as a plug-in replacement for MFC CString or STL basic_string to achieve independence from any particular vendor and gain speed of execution. Server side applications benefit the most since much of the processing time in today's code is spent managing string information. Embedded support also guarantees low memory consumption while providing high speed processing even on moderately powerful CPUs.

The library has an evaluation version that, like its commercial equivalent, comes with full source code and support. String classes yield immediate speed increase over most string implementations in the STL (C++ Standard Template Library), currently the only commercial-grade string class equivalent on the market with such wide platform coverage.

The library is licensed on a per-developer basis at a price of USD 59 (license packs and site licensing available). No runtime royalties apply. Evaluation and commercial versions are available from the product's web site at http://www.utilitycode.com/str/
