Full rewrite in C++

[aviallon]

Hello, just to let you know, I did a full rewrite of Ananicy in C++
Code is located here:
https://gitlab.com/ananicy-cpp/ananicy-cpp/

Have a nice day,
Antoine Viallon

@nefelim4ag you should really check this out.

What about in Go? :P Better concurrency out of the box.

What about in Go? :P Better concurrency out of the box.

Because parallelism isn't really needed here, because I have to make bare syscalls, because I want a relatively low memory footprint, and because I can do concurrency in C++ just fine.

@aviallon

Is the rewrite (at least intended to be) a drop-in replacement, i.e. one that requires no changes other than replacing the actual program? EDIT: oh, I see that it is (barring a bug or two).

It works well, less resource used compared to Ananicy. Unique problem is the compiling procedure: gcc/binutils must be updated and support last C++ features. But it is a great work!

@riccardv : cf. this issue that I opened on the ananicy-cpp tracker.

I note that on this the original ananicy, CPU usage does seem a little high: on a system with an Intel i5-3320M @ 3.300GHz, ananicy's python process takes up to 4% of total CPU every $check_freq seconds.

@aviallon You are doing god's work.

@aviallon Maybe it makes sense to use a shared ruleset in form of a repository which just gets packaged into both versions? :)
