Version: 1.47.0

This library offers a collection of modules that are often needed in developping applications on UNIX. The main modules are:

• Argument Handler

  Command line argument parsing, store the values directly in the destination variables.

• Logging

  Easy to use logging library.

• Type name

  Gives the type name as string.

• Indirect access

  Create a data structure and an object that allows to access members of the structure by name or id.

• Formatting

  Various functions and modules for formatting purposes, e.g. text-block formatting, fast integer to string conversion etc.

Requirements:

• Boost library
• C++ 17 compliant compiler

To build the software, the following components are required:

• Boost Development: Libraries and headerfiles.
• CMake
• g++ compiler

To build the documentation, doxygen is required.
To run the coverage analysis, lcov is needed additionally.

There is a makefile in the top-level directory that supports all build targets:

• make debug
  Builds the debug version with the lowest C++ version that is currently supported, e.g. C++ 17.
• make release
  Builds the release version (optimised) with the lowest C++ version that is currently supported, e.g. C++ 17.
• make debug-<C++ version>/make release-<C++ version>
  Builds the debug or release version with the specified C++ version.
• make doxgen
  Creates the HTML documentation from the source code using doxygen.

The steps for building are:

• Check if the build/ directory exists.
• If not:
• Create the directory.
