Some components useful for C++ programming when using old compilers without STL support

README

This is a collection of C++ classes useful when working on older compilers with no STL support.

Content

• Array : growing Array implemented as a template class.
• ErrorCollector : Allows to add error messages subsequently and can print a composed error message
• LinkedList : linear list implementation
• SimpleString : basic string class

Development environment

Dependencies

To build the project a Linux system and the following tools are needed:

• gcc >= 6 (e.g. on Debian install the package 'build-essential')
• Boost developer libs : (e.g. on Debian libboost-all-dev)
• cmake >= 2.8

Setup

The project can be build using cmake:

First create a directory build parallel to the src directory and enter it.

Then call cmake to let cmake create the Makefile

cmake ..

NOTE: If you want to debug with e.g. VisualStudioCode type instead:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

After this the project can be compiled from within the build directory by calling

make

Build with VisualStudioCode

The included .vscode/tasks.json is set up to build automatically if you hit Ctrl + Shift + b in VSCode. After the successful build the binary is copied to the project root dir.

Debug with VisualStudioCode

The included .vscode/launch.json is set up to start debugging the binary in the project root dir by hitting F5 from inside VSCode.
