It's been about a year and a half since my last post on the 'libposif' library,
and at that time my original intention was to bring together all of the
various functions that I will need for the P2P OS algorithms inside a
single library; however, after a while i realized that a better option
would be to have two separate libraries: namely, the 'libposif' library
should be dealing only with the cross-platform portability issues, and a
separate library, 'libagents', should deal with the agents-based
programming model.
So the 'libagents' library project was born: I wanted a pure C++ implementation of the actor model,
and I wanted it released as a stand-alone open source project, with
proper documentation and all. Now, after over a year of tweaks and
hundreds of pages written and then deleted in the doc, today is the day
when libagents-1.0.0 is finally available for download. Grab it, use it, and spice up your programs with some elegant parallel processing :)
PS
Don't
be discouraged by the sheer size of the documentation, just take it one
page at a time. I spent countless hours trying to make it easy to read,
so don't try to cut corners, that ain't gonna cut it: the doc is written with the assumption that it will be read and understood incrementally, from start to finish.
