Fry It! was a graphical frontend for cdrecord/mkisofs to ease bruning of CDs. I started this project to learn C++, and as it began to grow and stabilize, I used it to understand threading, too. There were a couple of reasons that caused me to discontinue its development. One of the main reasons was missing time. It had some unique features like support for multiple devices and concurrent burning and mastering of CDs, although I never pushed these features to production stability. This is the reason why I don't publish the source code anymore.
mbuffer is a UNIX command line tool for buffering data streams. It enhances backup/restore performance, shows performance data, and lowers the screw rate of tape drives (one of the most important reasons for tape drives to die).
The MetaC Compiler is the result of my research project. The MetaC language is a compatible extension to the C language that adds means of reflection, source code refactoring and synthesis. It allows writing metaprograms that analyze and modify C source code. Its purpose is to allow automatic reconfiguration of programs written in the C language. Main applications concern embedded systems development:
- System abstraction and target specific program adaption
- Source code instrumentation for real-time analysis
- Addition of special purpose debugging facilities
- and more...
