Announcing LuaCocoa: A next-generation Lua/Objective-C bridge


This is the big one I've been promising. I'm happy to announce the first release of LuaCocoa. It is a next-generation Lua/Objective-C bridge which uses Bridge Support and libffi to achieve full automatic bindings to frameworks on the Mac including the ugly areas like C functions, structs, enums, constants, etc. I consider this a spiritual successor to the LuaObjCBridge which I have written about before.

This project has been in the works for a really long time (seriously conceived in 2006). Though this is only the 0.1.0 release, it contains a lot of functionality and features. Only my venerable SDL-OpenAL-Mixer (ALmixer) may be longer delayed (2002), but even more feature complete.

Announcing Logger: Logging system for performance, large data, & report generation

Logger is a logging system for performance, large data generation, and post-processing. 

Logger was originally developed for large automated testing procedures against realtime hardware devices such as commercial satellites. Its goals were to log various types of events in human readable formats, but in an output that could easily be parsed and searched for later post-processing report generation. 

Logger supports runtime priority thresholds, automatic file segmentation, and compile time selectable locking for thread-safety. 

Two implementations are provided. One in pure C (for maximum portability), another in C++. There is also an Objective-C macro wrapper that extends the pure-C version to handle Obj-C objects. …
