API WrappersThese wrappers provide a portable object oriented interface for networking, multithreading, GUI development, and file browsing. Programs written using them can be compiled under POSIX or MS Windows platforms without changing the code. |

dir_nav_kernel_1: MS Windows implementation
dir_nav_kernel_2: POSIX implementation
This is just some miscellaneous extensions to the dir_nav component.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.gui_core_kernel_1: MS Windows implementation
gui_core_kernel_2: X Windows implementation
This component is a collection of various windowing widgets such as buttons, labels, text boxes, and so on. It also includes the drawable interface, drawable_window, and font handling objects. dlib/gui_widgets/widgets_abstract.h defines all of the high level graphical widgets provided by this component that can appear in a drawable_window. To view the specifications for the other members of this component look at dlib/gui_widgets/fonts_abstract.h, dlib/gui_widgets/drawable_abstract.h, and dlib/gui_widgets/base_widgets_abstract.h.
This component isn't actually a wrapper on top of OS APIs. Rather, it is implemented on top of the gui_core component. I put it on this page just because I expect that people would look here when searching for the sort of functionality provided by this component.
misc_api_kernel_1: MS Windows implementation
misc_api_kernel_2: POSIX implementation
You also may want to take note of the timeout object. It provides a mechanism which you can use to add a timeout to a network operation.
sockets_kernel_1: MS Windows implementation
sockets_kernel_2: POSIX implementation
This is just some miscellaneous extensions to the socket api.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.You also probably want to take note of the pipe object. It provides an easy to use typesafe mechanism to send messages between threads.
threads_kernel_1: MS Windows implementation
threads_kernel_2: POSIX implementation
This extension adds a mechanism to automatically lock and unlock a mutex. Also note that this extension is included by dlib/threads.h so you don't have to include anything extra to get it.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This extension adds a mechanism to automatically perform a readonly lock and unlock of a read_write_mutex. Also note that this extension is included by dlib/threads.h so you don't have to include anything extra to get it.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This extension adds a mechanism to automatically unlock a mutex. Also note that this extension is included by dlib/threads.h so you don't have to include anything extra to get it.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This extension adds a mechanism to automatically remove a readonly unlock from a read_write_mutex. Also note that this extension is included by dlib/threads.h so you don't have to include anything extra to get it.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This extension adds some templated overloads to the create_new_thread() function. They allow you to create new threads using member functions from a class. Also note that this extension is included by dlib/threads.h so you don't have to include anything extra to get it.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This object represents a multithreaded object. It is similar to the threaded_object except it allows you to have many threads in a single object rather than just one.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This extension adds a mutex object that can perform both normal "write locks" as well as "readonly locks". See the specification for details. Also note that this extension is included by dlib/threads.h so you don't have to include anything extra to get it.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This extension adds a mutex object that can handle recursive calls to lock(). Also note that this extension is included by dlib/threads.h so you don't have to include anything extra to get it.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This extension adds a signaler object that can be used with the rmutex object. Also note that this extension is included by dlib/threads.h so you don't have to include anything extra to get it.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This extension represents a simple threaded object. It provides a convenient mechanism to create an object that contains a thread.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This object represents a thread on a global C++ function. That is, it allows you to run a global function in its own thread.
The implementation of this extension can be found here.This object represents a fixed size group of threads which you can submit tasks to and then wait for those tasks to be completed. It also provides a future object that provides a container which allows you to safely pass objects into the tasks.
The implementation of this extension can be found here. It is implemented such that no memory allocations occur after the thread pool has been constructed (the future object also doesn't perform any memory allocations or contain any system resources such as mutex objects).This extension adds the ability to easily create thread specific data.
