socketpp

A very basic socket library for C++

SocketPP is a very simple API with TCP and UDP socket implementatins for C++, both for client and server. They are provided by the following classes:

• TCPClientSocket: TCP client socket (demo)
• TCPServerSocket: TCP server socket (demo)
• UDPSocket: UDP socket (client demo and server demo)

Compilation using cmake

Include this in CMakeLists.txt:

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
        socketpp
        URL https://github.com/mmsobral/socketpp/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.tar.gz
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(socketpp)
include_directories(${poller_SOURCE_DIR} .)

# OBS: this is just a demo to show you how to link this library to your executable

# The following line is usually generated by CLion (or by yourself, if using cmake manually)
# Replace it accordingly to your project
add_executable(test_app main.cpp)

# This command links socketpp library to your executable
# Rename test_app to yout executable name
target_link_libraries(test_app socketpp)

Compilation using g++

SocketPP requires at least C++ 2017. To compile an application with SocketPP with g++ or clang, use option -std=c++17. For instance, to compile the UDP client demo with g++ you can execute:

g++ -std=c++17 -o uclient uclient.cpp BaseSocket.cpp UDPSOcket.cpp
