◆ ValueCompletionBehavior

enum class CppUtilities::ValueCompletionBehavior : unsigned char

strong

The ValueCompletionBehavior enum specifies the items to be considered when generating completion for an argument value.

Remarks

The enumeration items are meant to be combined using the |-operator.
ValueCompletionBehavior::InvokeCallback is meant to initialize pre-defined values only when required in the callback assigned via Argument::setCallback(). Hence it makes sense to combine it with ValueCompletionBehavior::PreDefinedValues.
When ValueCompletionBehavior::InvokeCallback is present, the callback assigned via Argument::setCallback() might be called even when not all constraints are fulfilled. So, for instance, there might not be all required values present.

Enumerator
None	no auto-completion
PreDefinedValues	values assigned with Argument::setPreDefinedCompletionValues()
Files	files
Directories	directories
FileSystemIfNoPreDefinedValues	files and directories but only if no values have been assigned (default behavior)

InvokeCallback	whether to invoke the callback before reading pre-defined values

Definition at line 1120 of file argumentparser.cpp.

◆ computeDamerauLevenshteinDistance() [1/4]

std::size_t CppUtilities::computeDamerauLevenshteinDistance	(	const char *const	str1,
		const size_t	size1,
		const char *const	str2,
		const size_t	size2 )

Computes Damerau–Levenshtein distance with adjacent transpositions.

Returns

Returns the number of editing steps required to turn str1 into str2. The following operations are considered as editing steps:

substitution: replace one character with another character
insertion: insert one character at any position
deletion: delete one character at any position
transposition: swap any pair of adjacent characters

Remarks

Computing "Optimal string alignment distance" is a different thing.
The algorithm operates on byte-level. So characters requiring more than one byte in the used character encoding (e.g. UTF-8 encoded German umlauts) are counted as multiple characters (e.g. substitution of those umlauts with non-umlauts requires 2 editing steps).
The memory consumption of this algorithm is considerably. The required memory increases with the product of size1 and size2. Pass only short words to this function!

Definition at line 125 of file levenshtein.cpp.

◆ computeDamerauLevenshteinDistance() [2/4]

std::size_t CppUtilities::computeDamerauLevenshteinDistance	(	const char *	str1,

◆ convertLatin1ToUtf8()

Definition at line 189 of file stringconversion.cpp.

◆ convertString()

StringData CppUtilities::convertString	(	const char *	fromCharset,
		const char *	toCharset,
		const char *	inputBuffer,
		std::size_t	inputBufferSize,
		float	outputBufferSizeFactor )

Converts the specified string from one character set to another.

Remarks

The term "size" refers here always to the actual number of bytes and not to the number of characters (eg. the size of the UTF-8 string "ö" is 2 and not 1).
The expected size of the output buffer can be specified via outputBufferSizeFactor. This hint helps to reduce buffer reallocations during the conversion (eg. for the conversion from Latin-1 to UTF-16 the factor would be 2, for the conversion from UTF-16 to Latin-1 the factor would be 0.5).

◆ makeFixedSizeMultiArray()

template<typename ValueType , std::size_t size, typename... DimensionSizes>

auto CppUtilities::makeFixedSizeMultiArray ( DimensionSizes... dimensionSizes )

inline

Constructs a new N-dimensional array using a fixed size array as underlying container. The sizes for the dimensions are passed as arguments.

◆ makeMultiArray()

template<typename ValueType , typename... DimensionSizes>

auto CppUtilities::makeMultiArray ( DimensionSizes... dimensionSizes )

inline

Constructs a new N-dimensional array using an std::vector with std::allocator as underlying container. The sizes for the dimensions are passed as arguments.

Remarks: The number of dimensions N is deduced from the number of dimensionSizes.

Definition at line 169 of file multiarray.h.

◆ makeNativePath()

NativePathStringView CppUtilities::makeNativePath ( PathStringView path )

inline

Returns path in the platform's native encoding.

Remarks

On Windows we store paths internally as UTF-8 strings. So it is assumed that path is UTF-8 and a UTF-16 std::wstring is returned.
On any other platforms we store paths internally using the native format (usually UTF-8). So it is assumed that path is already encoded as intended and passed as-is.
This function does basically the same as libstdc++'s std::filesystem::u8path implementation. However, the C++ standard actually imposes a conversion to UTF-8 when a non-UTF-8 narrow encoding is used. That's not wanted here. Besides, that function is deprecated in C++ 20.

Definition at line 82 of file path.h.

◆ makeNoneOwningMultiArray()
