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

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 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 (the API might change slightly)
remove unused features
