Synopsis

CUL - Common Utility Library.

1. Library overview.
   • Filesystem: FSApi: it can perform some generic filesystem features:
     • get current (working directory.)
     • get file/directory creation time.
     • do file existence check.
     • get file size.
     • check whether the file is a generic file
     • list files under a directory.
     • calculate file md5.
     • get file modification time.
   • GenericUtils
     • ConsoleUtilities: simple parsing of input parameters.
     • DelegateTemplate: unreal-like delegate structures for... delegating lambdas.
     • IConfigFile: simple config file support.
     • ScopeExit: execute lambda at the end of scope.
     • SimpleAssert: the name says everything.
     • ILogger: simple logging utility, a wrapper on spdlog.
     • Math: mostly useless math utils.
     • Memory:
       • MemoryPool: slow, lazy memory pool.
       • MemoryTracker: it is able to track allocations/realocations with their stacks. It can also dump all active allocations at the time.
     • STL_IMPORTS: if you want to disable all warnings from STL library (not our fault to have them!) you may use it.
     • String: i really do not want to tell you.

Currently, the project is built in the Linux env, but not everything was tested.

Code Example

For code examples, please check how they are being used in the tests: libculTests/src

Motivation

My motivation to create such a library:

• The main reason for this library is for me to learn.
• Also, as it is a utility library, the main functionality is to have some repeating code in one, easy-to-use place.

Installation

Just add cul_static or cul_dynamic to your cmake project. Just like examples, take a look at:

libculTests/CMakeLists.txt
