Google Releases Open Source Code Tools

By Scott Gilbertson March 27, 2007 Categories: Programming

Gcode
The Google Code Blog announced the release of four open source coding tools yesterday. The announcement is part of an ongoing Google program of releasing infrastructure tools as open source software.

All of the tools are hosted on the Google Code project and are available for download.

For the most part these are highly geeky C++ tools meant for serious developers — see the complete list after the jump.

Yesterday’s release includes:

  • gflags: Command line flags module for C++. Gflags is intended replacement for getopt() and is implemented in both C++ and Python.

  • perftools: Fast, mutli-threaded malloc() and performance analysis tools. Along with TC Malloc, perftools also contains a Heap Checker, Heap Profiler, and a CPU Profiler.

  • sparsehash: A memory-efficient hash map implementation. The SparseHash package contains several hash-map implementations, including one implementation that optimizes for space, and another that optimizes for speed.

  • ctemplate: A simple but powerful template language for C++.
