A library of c++ code for writing programs on unix-like computers. The library includes useful concepts like assertions, logging, platforms, types, data structures, and utility functions.
For some of these, I started by cribbing from open source code from other projects and organizations like WebKit, LLVM, and IBM, and then where appropriate, I added or changed some details to suit my own needs.
For other parts, I started from scratch and wrote code that seemed like it would be useful to me. Some of these include:
- Any: a neat (I think) implementation of the notion
- Spread: a class that maintains a set of numbers that represents stretches and individual elements, like 1..5,7,9..11
- TextRef: a class that models a reference to a line in text file.
- The Like set of utilities that offer pleasant functions for doing tedious business, with examples in FileLike, MathLike, StringLike, and UnixLike.
I used these to make the iota tools at https://github.com/kocienda/iota. I had fun writing this code and those tools.
If you want to compile and use this code yourself, I regret to say that you're on your own. I didn't take any time or make any substantial effort to make this code usable on anyone's computer by my own. That said, if you have cmake and a c++ compiler handy (I used clang-15 and c++17), you might have some luck with these steps:
- Get the UU project source code from
https://github.com/kocienda/UU. - Compile and install it with:
cmake -S . -B build; cmake --build build --target install
You may also wish to look at the source code, just for fun, and if you do, I hope you enjoy.
