C++ Sockets Library testimonials
I have been using the C++ sockets library extensively for one year in
a client/server robot simulation environment where simulated legged
robot models of actual robots first learn how to walk. Frankly, I
know very little about Unix sockets, but this exactly shows the beauty
of this library: the API is high-level enough that in Linux (both
latest Redhat and Mandrake distributions) it was easy to quickly get a
client/server application up and running. I needed different clients
simultaneously sending requests to a physics simulation engine server,
which in turn sends back a number to each client. The second nice
thing about this library is that it was pretty much always working and
its author was responsive on the one single occasion where I had weird
behavior -- when that happened the bug was fixed within one week of
its reporting. The library is actively evolving but the interface has
remained essentially the same, so all changes have been transparent so
far. It's been a pleasure to use this solid piece of software which
seems to continually get better.
