The CppCore-Library

My collection of common tools for c++, which I have written the last couple of years for myself or libraries I worked on. Feel free to use them or to show me, what I did wrong. I am also deploying my unit tests, so doing a proof of my failures are easy :-).

Documentation:

https://readthedocs.org/projects/cppcore/ ( under construction )

How to build it:

At first you have to install CMake on your loal machine. After that start cmake in the working directory of the CppCore library by typing:

cmake build/CMakeLists.txt

Depending on your operation system CMake will generate a build environment for your special platform in the build directory.

If you are using Visual Studio on windows a solution file will be generated.

If you are using Linux, you can build it with the make-command:

make -j3

The library is pretty small and contains at this moment:

Common stuff:

• CString: Simple string implementation without the big overhead of a std::string
• Variant: Implements a variant to deal with arbitrary data types.
• THash: A hash function to calculate hash values.

Containers:

• TStaticArray: A static template-based array.
• TArray: A simple dynamic template-based array list, similar to std::vector. Examples can be found here
• TList: A double template-based linked list. Examples can be found here
• TQueue: A simple template-based FIFO queue.
• THashMap: A key-value template-based hash map for easy lookup tables

Memory:

• TStackAllocator: A stack-based allocator, first allocation must be released at last ( FiFo-schema ).
• TPoolAllocator: A pool-based allocator. Not much overhead and really fast. At the moment it is not supported to release single objects.

IO:

• FileSystem: Common file-system abstractions for platform independent access and info.

Random:

• RandomGenerator: A wrapper class to get random numbers. Currently supported are
  • The standard c++ random generator, be careful if you want to reach a good distribution of your random values
  • The Mersenne-Twister randome generator which provides a much better distribution of points
