This is the documentation of the Weiss OSC Library (WOscLib). WOscLib is a complete (server and client), easy to use OSC (OpenSound-Control) library, featuring Object Oriented (C++) design (modularity), platform independence, type-safety (especially in OSC-methods), exception-handling and good documentation (doxygen).
This library is the result of the development of an OSC system at Weiss Engineering LTD. in Switzerland. DWE likes to share its knowledge and team up with other developers to maintain an enhanceable library, accessible through a global cvs or similar version control system.
This work is a re-implementation and (hopefully) modernization of the the classic OSC-Kit, which was originally provided by Matt-Wright and was written in pure C (see http://www.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OpenSoundControl).
Matt's kit uses lots of global variables, a fast but user-unfriendly memory-allocation (and de-allocation)-scheme, makes use of non type-save osc-callback-functions, has no real exception handling and its modularity is heavily restricted due to the C-design. There is also no documentation based on a modern auto-doc-system (e.g. doxygen) what makes it harder for newbies to get an OSC-system running in 10 minutes since they have to read all (or at least some) source-files first.
Summary of the reasons of the re-implementation are:
./configure && make build processCurrently supported platforms are:
The authors like to thank Matt Wright for his OSC-Kit, Daniel Weiss for his consent to make this library open-source and all contributors.
