corecpp

C++ Core Components

Goal

The goal of this repository is to share some usefull c++ classes which aren’t present in the STL.
Those libraries are designed so that they fit well with the STL.
Another thing is that this lib is standalone, meaning that it don’t have any dependency.

Available classes/libraries :

serialisation

Serialization/deserialization framework
Allows to serialize/deserialize raw structures/class by just listing their properties.
It is also possible to provide his own serialisation/deserialisation methods instead.

Right now only JSON is fully supported (Xml is supported only for serialisation) but the API is designed so that other format may be added in the future.

diagnostics

Logging framework, suppport up to 8 levels from fatal to debug.
Supports having multiple appenders.
Each log is written by the appenders associated to their channel.

variant

A variant implementation among others. :)
It is a small variation of the stl-provided ones, and are compatible with the serialisation framework.

ref_ptr

A ptr class which doesn’t take any ownership and can only be construct from a smart pointer (usefull for passing parameters for example)

flags

Class for manipulating enums types as a list of flags

command_line

Made from several classes intended for making parameters parsing and managment more easy.
They can handle

• having multiple options in both short or long format (the syntax of the value may depend on the format used)
• having options made of several values
• having multiple sub-commands.
• having several parameters passed at the end of the command line.

Later it will also be able to validate the options using builtin or custom validators (not done yet)

deferred

A class for easing lazy function evaluation.

event

Simple class to ease event-oriented programming.

TestU

The library feature a framework for implementing unit-tests.
These tests are divised into unit tests, which are divised into tests fixtures, which in turn are subdivised into methods implementing tests or several tests cases.

In the end, this model allows an easy, yet efficient, implementation of unit tests. (The library itself implements unit-testing through this framework)

In-progress

uuid

Lib for manipulating universally unique identifier

shared_vector

A vector whose list of elements can be efficiently shared

Sources Tree

The sources are divided into several directories:

• exemples: Some programs using the corecpp library
• include: Headers of the library
• src: sources files of the libray
• tests: Unit tests, may be ran using make test
