mgBoost

mgBoost is an open source development project hosted at sourceforge.net.
Target is to provide people developing Software with Magic eDeveloper with a collection of quality, peer-reviewed, open source, libraries designed for usage with eDeveloper in commercial or non-commercial projects.

Besides Windows DLLs the collection is also planned to include ActiveX (COM), Unix shared libraries and eDeveloper components and -cabinets.

Basically the idea, the name and the license for mgBoost is stolen from a much more famous open source project: Boost C++ libraries∞.
Boost C++ is a set of high quality open source libraries for usage in C++ programming language ... something which cannot be used directly in Magic.
The Boost C++ classes and templates need to be "wrapped" for usage within eDeveloper and mgBoost partly does exactly this.

Many of the things written here with respect of DLLs, calling conventions, ... you'll find implemented in the mgBoost libraries together with eDeveloper sample applications.
