what do you suggest as a cross platform “almost all encompassing” abstraction toolkit/library, not necessarily gui oriented?
the project should at some point include an extremely minimal web server and a “db” of some sort (basically to have indexes/btrees, maybe relations, so a rdbms is desiderable but avoidable if necessarily, sql might be overkill)
i was thinking about qt, boost, tokyo cabinet and/or sqlite; what else? what is “best suited”?
i would like to keep platform customization and overall execution footprint at minimum…
thank you in advance
For a minimal webserver, I think you’re fine using Boost.Asio and sqlite — it’s quite portable, and should have everything you need. Remember that the C/C++ runtimes also provide portable abstractions for many things, so be sure to check those first (especially if a minimum overhead is required — it might be simply easier to use C runtime functions than Boost.Filesystem).
