tinfra - C++ helper library

This is a next experimental C++ providing general programmer support for "everything(tm)".

Some highlights:

• os abstraction

  • filesystem abstraction (tinfra/fs.h)
  • subprocess (tinfra/subprocess.h)
  • threads (tinfra/thread.h, tinfra/mutex.h)

• infrastructure for type safe structure visitors (tinfr/mo.h)

  • yet another "to_string" infrastructure (tinfra/lex.h)
  • yet another "serialization" infrastructure

• many string helpers (ideas borrowed from perl&python)

  • type safe printf - tprintf, tsprintf (tinfra/fmt.h)

• json parser & generator (tinfra/json.h)

• runtime helpers for handling exceptions, interruptions, stack-traces etc

• simple unit-test library based on unittest++ concepts

Content

There are two libraries:

• tinfra Base tinfra library for use in normal code.

  No dependencies.

  API Headers: all but tinfra/test*.h

  LIB: libtinfra.a or tinfra.lib

• tinfra-test Simple unit-test helper code inspired by UnitTest++ (http://unittest-cpp.sourceforge.net/)

  Headers: tinfra/test.h, tinfra/test-macros.h

  LIB: libtinfra-test.a or tinfra-test.lib

Tests of library are under unittests(.exe) target. They cover something like 50% of current code and 20-30% of functionality.

Installation, Linux/Unix or MSYS/Mingw, OSX

Prerequisities:

• GNU make
• makefoo (https://github.com/zbigg/makefoo)
• C++ compiler (g++, clang++, XCode ...)

To build:

./configure --prefix=???
make

(out-of-source build is supported)

To install:

make install

(installs ${exec_prefix}/lib/libtinfra.a & libtinfra-test.a and ${prefix}/include/tinfra/...)

To check:

make test
