shol

Simple header only library for C++. Containing various useful functions. Things like, python type print support for containers using cout:

map<string, int> dict = {{"one", 1}, {"two", 2}};
cout << dict << endl;
// this will print {(one, 1), (two, 2)}
// it'll work on any nested combination of containers.

for more see std_cout.

I've tried to make it as cross platform as possible. But there is no guarantee. Examples are tested for Windows, MacOX and Linux.

---

Install

Just copy the headers.

• Copy the include folder to your build tree and use a C++14 compiler.

---

Running examples

Examples can be build using cmake.

• Linux and MacOS (make)

  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ..
  make

• Windows

  Visual Studio 2017 and later can directly open a CMake project. However, if you want to build using Developer Command prompt instead then run:

  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ..
  msbuild examples.sln /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release

---

More ways to build

Examples can also be build using ninja across any platform.

• Using ninja

  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake .. -GNinja
  ninja -v

• If you want to use mingw (GCC) instead of MSVC under windows then chocolatey can be used to install dependencies for ninja build.

  choco intall -y mingw ninja cmake

  After that append cmake install path ("C:\Program Files\CMake\bin") to Environment Variable.
