String Library

Overview

A simple header-only string library written in C++ using a similar interface to std::string.

Features

• Automatic memory management using RAII techniques
• Strong exception guarantee (state is unmodified if an exception is thrown)
• Use of move semantics wherever possible (e.g. operator+() is overloaded to take R-value references, substring() is overloaded with ref-qualifiers)
• Basic string operations like concatenation, substring, insert, trim, etc.
• Comparing with C-style strings and char, as well as lexicographic comparison functions
• Constructing from C-style strings and std::initializer_list
• Writing to C++ output streams
• Fully const-correct and decorated with noexcept specifiers

Todo

• Add iterator support
• Add allocator support
• Implement SSO (Small String Optimization)

Project Requirements

C++14 language version.
