Reactive Extensions:

• Rx.NET: The Reactive Extensions (Rx) is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences and LINQ-style query operators.
• RxJS: The Reactive Extensions for JavaScript (RxJS) is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences and LINQ-style query operators in JavaScript which can target both the browser and Node.js.
• RxCpp: The Reactive Extensions for Native (RxCpp) is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences and LINQ-style query operators in both C++.

#Building RxCpp

• RxCpp is regularly tested on OSX and Windows.
• RxCpp is regularly built with Clang, Gcc and VC
• RxCpp depends on the latest compiler releases.

RxCpp uses CMake to create build files for several platforms and IDE's

###ide builds

####XCode

mkdir projects/build
cd projects/build
cmake -G"Xcode" ../CMake -B.

####Visual Studio 13

mkdir projects\build
cd projects\build
cmake -G"Visual Studio 12" ..\CMake -B.

• Note: open in VC2013 and upgrade to the 2013 toolset

###makefile builds

####OSX

mkdir projects/build
cd projects/build
cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -B. ../CMake
make

####Linux --- Clang

mkdir projects/build
cd projects/build
cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -B. ../CMake
make

####Linux --- GCC

mkdir projects/build
cd projects/build
cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -B. ../CMake
make

####Windows

mkdir projects\build
cd projects\build
cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -B. ..\CMake
nmake

The build only produces test and example binaries.

#Running tests

• You can use the CMake test runner ctest
• You can run the test binaries directly rxcppv2_test_*
• Tests can be selected by name or tag Example of by-tag

rxcppv2_test_subscription [perf]

#Documentation

RxCpp uses Doxygen to generate project documentation.

When Doxygen+Graphviz is installed, CMake creates a special build task named doc. It creates actual documentation and puts it to projects/doxygen/html/ folder, which can be published to the gh-pages branch. Each merged pull request will build the docs and publish them.

#Contributing Code

Before submitting a feature or substantial code contribution please discuss it with the team and ensure it follows the product roadmap. Note that all code submissions will be rigorously reviewed and tested by the Rx Team, and only those that meet an extremely high bar for both quality and design/roadmap appropriateness will be merged into the source.

You will be promted to submit a Contributor License Agreement form after submitting your pull request. This needs to only be done once for any Microsoft OSS project. Fill in the Contributor License Agreement (CLA).
