cpp_sandbox

Header-only C++ boilerplate code shipped with Boost, fmt, prettyprint. Requires at least C++11.

Features

• size_t get_filesize(const boost::filesystem::path& path);
• std::string read_file(const boost::filesystem::path& path);
• std::chrono::milliseconds::rep ms_since_epoch();
• std::string get_current_datetime_str();
• to_t evil_cast(from_t&& f);
• std::unique_ptr<T> make_unique(Args&&... args);
• struct identity;
• std::chrono::milliseconds measure_execution_time(func_t&& func, Args&&... args);
• benchmark_escape(void *p) and benchmark_clobber() funcs to prevent optimizer ruin your performance analysis
• type_name<T>() to get string representation of object type
• user-defined chrono literals
• generic std::hash for enum types
• all commonly used std includes
• sandbox::bin IO manipulator
• simple logger:
  • LOG() << fmt::format("some value: {}", some_value);
  • LOG(std::cerr) << "something" << " else";
• osync to make std streams thread safe:
  • std::cout << sandbox::osync << "thread " << "safe";
• simple thread pool
• flat_map and flat_set containers: these are std::map and std::set implementations using a contiguous data structure as the underlying storage.
