Format a phone number with php.

template function to create a boost::shared_ptr in the form

boost::shared_ptr classPtr = new_ptr(Arg1, Arg2);

You can also make new_ptr_access a friend of className and make the constructor and destructor private.

This keeps the end user from:

Creating an instance manually on the heap
Creating an instance manually on the stack
Deleting a shared_ptr manually using "delete get()"

Transform any basic type to string. Very handy for log messages

Usage:

int i(12);
float j(3.14);
cout

Format Bytes

I was coding a project that used arrays when the lack of a standard foreach in C/C++ got to me. So, I coded this little function to help me. It applies a function that returns int to each element of the array.

Configurable number formatter.

Converts a string representation of a number with any base(binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, up to base 36) to a long int.

This little function puts a string of a specified color and (centered) location. However, keep the word simple in mind. I purposfully not made it capable of supporting newlines.

By the way, this is my first snippet

I made this a little while back for a friend who was having trouble learning sockets. Below are snf.h, snferror.h and example.cpp (a little example).

The example opens a "web server" at port 8080 on the machine. However, it displays just one page.

Have fun!
