CSCall++ http://sourceforge.net/projects/cscall/ does not rely on C++
standard
library but entirely wrap POSIX c functions. The most important, all
functions
are fully documented (this is essentially different from average C++
libraries).
Questions and criticism are welcome.

Features:
.The error reporting mechanism, I believed, is one of the 'correct'
one.
.The class function member rule is tested (7 years) to be good
practice.
.Most low level function features are preserved.
Wy::cin,Wy::cout,Wy::cerr directly talk to the standard file
descriptor
not only faster and simpler, but can be used in signal handler the
same
manner as POSIX signal-safe functions can. Beside, they can be reset
to
associate to not only regular file but also socket,fifo,character
device.
.WyThread wraps pthread functions, the only thread class I saw that
supports
thread cancellation and signal managements.
.Comes with many reusable example programs that can initiate or be
modified
into real applications.
