CUL - C++ Utility Library

Dependencies

• Linux/Windows
• Modern C++ Compiler (GCC)

License

• MIT License

Design Principles

• KISS - Keep it small and simple

• Lightweight - Keep bloat out

• Cross Platform (currently aiming for linux/posix and windows, mac osx support can added easily)

• Documentation - Try to provide well documented code and examples

• C++11 - Don't live in the past

• Modern Interface - Usage similiar to Java, D Tango or .NET Framework

• Loose coupling - so classes can be easily copied out of library and work anyway

• Maybe clone functionality from standard library with nicer interface

Modules

• culcore - Core Library (Header only)
• culio - Input/Output Library (File, Console, ...)
• culsys - System Interfaces (Threads, Timer, ...)
• cullog - Logging Framework (Requires Rewrite)
• culnet - Network Library

Available functionality:

• Reference Counted Shared Pointer
• Strings
• Simple Typedefs
• Logging
• Threads
• Delegate and Signals
• AnyPtr

TODO

• Split in smaller modules
  • culalloc
  • culcollection
  • culmem
  • cultest
  • culsignals
• Create real StaticArray and DynamicArray
• Rename ByteBuffer to ByteArray
• Add a general Buffer class
• add a bool try(std::function) function with try catch
• UTF Support
• IO
  • Vfs
  • File Streams
  • Memory Streams
  • Directory iteration
  • Path manipulation
• Sys
  • Timer
• More Datastructures (Array, Stack, Sets/Maps, ...)
• Network
  • Sockets
• Advanced Memory Management (Allocators, MemPools, ...)
• Use PIMPL for Binary Compatibility
  • has a dptr helper know
• Rewrite logging system using C++11 features
