I didn’t see this one coming. Google is now showing off its source code to the public over at Google Code. So far they have four projects that they are starting with. The Core Dumper looks pretty useful.

Core Dumper

The coredumper library can be compiled into applications to create core dumps of the running program, without termination. It supports both single- and multi-threaded core dumps, even if the kernel doesn’t natively support for multi-threaded core files.

Sparse Hashtable

This project contains several hash-map implementations in use at Google, similar in API to SGI’s hash_map class, but with different performance characteristics, including an implementation that optimizes for space and one that optimizes for speed.

Goopy/Functional

Goopy Functional is a python library that brings functional programming aspects to python.

Perftools

These tools are for use by developers so that they can create more robust applications. Especially of use to those developing multi-threaded applications in C++ with templates. Includes TCMalloc, heap-checker, heap-profiler and cpu-profiler.
