Updated answer for an old question: In C++11 you can portably get to the highest resolution timer with: #include <iostream> #include <chrono> #include “chrono_io” int main() { typedef std::chrono::high_resolution_clock Clock; auto t1 = Clock::now(); auto t2 = Clock::now(); std::cout << t2-t1 << ‘\n’; } Example output: 74 nanoseconds “chrono_io” is an extension to ease I/O … Read more
You should take a look to psutil : >>> import psutil >>> psutil.virtual_memory() svmem(total=16717422592, available=5376126976, percent=67.8, used=10359984128, free=1831890944, active=7191916544, inactive=2325667840, buffers=525037568, cached=4000509952, shared=626225152)
On UNIX-like operating systems, there is sysconf. #include <unistd.h> unsigned long long getTotalSystemMemory() { long pages = sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES); long page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE); return pages * page_size; } On Windows, there is GlobalMemoryStatusEx: #include <windows.h> unsigned long long getTotalSystemMemory() { MEMORYSTATUSEX status; status.dwLength = sizeof(status); GlobalMemoryStatusEx(&status); return status.ullTotalPhys; } So just do some fancy #ifdefs and … Read more
I would recommend V-Play (v-play.net) – it’s a cross-platform game engine based on Qt for iOS, Android, Symbian, MeeGo, Blackberry10 and also can export for native desktop applications for Windows, Mac and Linux. It’s based on C++ but has a neat scripting support for QML & JavaScript. QML is a no-brainer to learn and can … Read more

You should be able to modify os.environ. Since os.pathsep is the character to separate different paths, you should use this to append each new path: os.environ[“PATH”] += os.pathsep + path or, if there are several paths to add in a list: os.environ[“PATH”] += os.pathsep + os.pathsep.join(pathlist) As you mentioned, os.path.join can also be used for … Read more
CMake is actually pretty good for this. The key part was everyone on the Windows side has to remember to run CMake before loading in the solution, and everyone on our Mac side would have to remember to run it before make. The hardest part was as a Windows developer making sure your structural changes … Read more
