U++

U++ is a C++ cross-platform rapid application development framework focused on programmers productivity. It includes a set of libraries (GUI, SQL, Network, etc.), and an integrated development environment.

Rapid development is achieved by the smart and aggressive use of C++ rather than through fancy code generators. In this respect, U++ competes with popular scripting languages while preserving C/C++ runtime characteristics.

The U++ integrated development environment, TheIDE, introduces modular concepts to C++ programming. It features BLITZ-build technology to speedup C++ rebuilds up to 4 times, Visual designers for U++ libraries, a Topic++ system for documenting code and creating rich text resources for applications (like help and code documentation) and Assist++ - a powerful C++ code analyzer that provides features like code completion, navigation and transformation.

TheIDE can work with GCC, Clang, MinGW and Visual C++ and contains a full featured debugger. TheIDE can also be used to develop non-U++ applications.

U++ supports following platforms on the production level: Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux & FreeBSD.

What you can get with U++?

A very effective C++ library for cross-platform development in source form.
A good integrated development environment, designed for developing large C++ applications.

You can use both, or you can use whichever you need.

Examples

GUI

Below is the code of trivial GUI application that displays "Hello World" string inside window:

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

class MyApp: public Upp::TopWindow {
public:
    MyApp()
    {
        Title("My application").Zoomable().Sizeable().SetRect(0, 0, 320, 200);
    }

    virtual void Paint(Upp::Draw& w) override
    {
        w.DrawRect(GetSize(), Upp::SWhite);
        w.DrawText(10, 10, "Hello, world!", Upp::Arial(30), Upp::Magenta);
    }
};

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
    MyApp().Run();
}

Standard part of U++ framework is integrated development environment, TheIDE.
