Dynamically linked libraries are commonly used in software programs to facilitate code reuse. Once a library is linked into a software program, a bug in the library can lead to compromise of the whole program. Moreover, the library may also contain malicious code. Existing solutions for software component isolation assume simple interactions between a library and the main program, otherwise, th...

Like many past extensions to user programming models, transactions can be added to the programming language or implemented in a library using existing language features. We describe a library-based transactional memory API for C++. Designed to address the limitations of an earlier API with similar functionality, the new interface leverages macros, exceptions, multiple inheritance, generics (tem...

The reuse of complete software developments and the processes used to create them has the potential to signiicantly ease the process of software engineering , by providing a source of veriied software artifacts. It is suggested that reuse of software artifacts can be achieved through the utilization of software libraries. However, software library systems are not yet common or mature phenomena,...
