Some key features includes

  • An IDE with a GUI designer
  • Uses heavily RAII and auto pointers-like mechanisms to avoid manual memory management and could limit the use of pointers in the code [4]

  • The standard distribution comes with U++ sources included.
  • Uses NTL as a template system instead of STL.
  • Supports databases, with libraries to connect with various database systems.
  • Designed for high-performance application use cases with a low memory footprint and efficient use of system resources.
  • Retains backward compatibility, allowing developers to upgrade to new versions of the framework without issues.
  • Provides support for Unicode to make applications in multiple languages.
  • Document editor,[6] Debugger, auto completion[7] and Icon Designer[8] for making tool icons with less effort.
