A cross-platform C++ systems library for game development
Author
I've written a cross-platform C++ library that works on Linux/UNIX, Mac, and Windows...it provides abstractions for threads, mutexes, sockets, buffers, streams, loadable modules, and lots of other stuff. It was originally designed to be a framework specifically for building an MMO game engine, though now I use it quite a bit for unrelated projects at work.
Check it out at http://freshmeat.net/projects/commoncpp/
This project has nothing to do with the "GNU Common C++" project...this library provides a much richer set of classes.
Cheers,
M.
Do you have a description of the benefits that these classes have over, for example, Boost equivalents?

If I may add my 2 cents, boost isn't the end to C++ programming. It provides neccessary additions and improvements to the STL, but it's still low level stuff.
A lot of (commercial) libraries use neither STL nor boost, Qt for example.
After a quick look, I would have to say that it's "cleaner-looking" (superficial, I know) than boost. Ultimately, performance considerations would trump anything, but I, for one, am sick of ugly C++ naming conventions and heavy use of templates.
I've wondered many times why someone didn't write a C++ equivilent of the JDK, or something like that--of course, I never looked, thinking that I surely would have heard of it--but yours looks nice.

mesmerism,
I'm looking at the API documentation snapshot and I have to say that I'm very impressed! Does this really work on all the mentioned platforms? I'm very interested in the MD5 and Timer functionality.

I am thinking about a new Front End for C++, one that allows you to use template magic etc. in a more accessible way. Would make even boost fun.
Or just a new (or heavily extended) preprocessor.

Of course, but it's still a valid question for the parts that do overlap with Boost.
Coherence?

The canonical MD5 code is platform agnostic and free - no need to wait for an encapsulation [smile].
Anyway, I had to congratulate mesmerism: its seems to be a great library, with a lot of features (Base64 encoding! Sockets! XML! JNI! Persistence!). Getting everything to a workable state must have been quite long.
I would say only one thing: putting everything in one single namespace is not a good idea (not to mention that the namespace name is not that great: it's a bit too long. What about ccpp?). I would have prefered to see multiple sub-namespaces: jni, thread, xml, db, and so on...).
But still: good work, mesmerism. And r++.

I second that.
