c++utilities
Common C++ classes and routines used by my applications such as argument parser, IO and conversion utilities.
Features
The library utilizes:
- parsing command-line arguments
- chronology (DateTime and TimeSpan classes)
- conversion of primitive data types to byte-buffers (litte-endian, big-endian) and vice versa
- common string conversions/operations, eg.
- split, join, findAndReplace
- numberToString, stringToNumber
- encodeBase64, decodeBase64
- IO
- reading/writing primitive data types of various sizes (little-endian, big-endian)
- reading/writing terminated strings and size-prefixed strings
- bitwise reading
- parsing INI files
Build instructions
Requirements
- C++ compiler supporting C++11 (I've tested GNU g++, Clang and mingw-w64 yet.)
- CMake to build
- cppunit to build and run unit tests
- The c++utilities library only depends on the C++ standard library. For dependencies of my other projects check the README.md of these projects.
How to build
Just run:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/where/you/want/to/install" "path/to/projectdirectory"
make
make check # build and run unit tests (optional)
make install
Building with qmake is also possible:
INSTALL_ROOT="/where/you/want/to/install" qmake-qt5 "path/to/projectfile"
make && make install
Building for Windows with Mingw-w64 cross compiler can be utilized using a small cmake wrapper from Fedora:
${_arch}-cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/where/you/want/to/install" "path/to/projectdirectory"
make && make install
To create *.ico files for application icons ffmpeg is required.
In any case, the make option -j can be used for concurrent compilation.
Creating Arch Linux package
The repository PKGBUILDs contains files for building Arch Linux packages. PKGBUILD files to build for Windows using the Mingw-w64 compiler are also included.
Notes
- Because of GCC Bug 66145 usage of the new libstdc++ ABI is currently disabled. Linking against cppunit built using new libstdc++ ABI isn't possible.
TODO
- rewrite argument parser
- remove unused features
