So far I'm just implementing the http-server itself, but designing it so that a typedef will turn it into a fastcgi server instead. This requires standard unit testing as well, as something special - testing for binary compatibility There is a backward binary compatibility checker for shared libraries in C/C++. I am designing a C/C++ plugin architecture for a solution which comprises of 3 components: a client level; a core level; a visualization level. So I decided to start on my webspeed-project doing a http/fastcgi server. Think of it as Node.js, but using C. Therefore, I think it's critical to factor the C/C++ API design so that as much of it as possible is writable in application level python on top of a small core that does the final C++ dispatch. The goal when designing an API is to prevent the amoeba shaking effect - e.g. Even though I live in the C++ world as opposed to Java, 99% of this is directly applicable. Similar to the pilots' pre-flight checklist, this list helps software designers remember obvious and not so obvious rules while designing Java APIs. Prevent each new release to completely destabilize existing usages. An anonymous coward just provided a link to API compliance checker. Proper API Design requires testing and verification. Like any complex task, it tests the limits of our attention and memory. AZR331 Casablanca is a Microsoft incubation effort to support cloud-based client-server communication in native code using a modern asynchronous C++ API design. There are many different rules and tradeoffs to consider during Java API design.
