Idlib is a C++17 cross-platform utility library for Windows, Linux, and OS X. Idlib and is made available publicly under the MIT license on Github.
The library was built and used under Windows/Visual Studio 2017, Linux/GCC 6, Linux/Clang, and OS X/Clang.
- CMake-based build system builds under Windows/Visual Studio, Cygwin/GCC, Linux/GCC and OS X/Clang
- Google Test integration for Visual Studio
- math
- generic vectors of arbitrary dimensions for all floating-point types
- generic matrices of arbitrary number of rows and columns for all floating-point types
- generic geometric primitives (points, lines, rays, aabbs, …) of arbitrary dimensions for all floating-point types
- translation transformations of geometric primitives
- coming soon:
- full support for all standard transformations (scale, shear, rotation, …)
- viewing and projection transformations (“look at”, “perspective projection”, orthographic projection”)
- colors RGB and RGBA colors for all floating-point types and for Bytes
- file system abstraction on Windows, Linux, OS X
- reading and writing files using memory mappings
- creating/copying/deleting files and directories
- enumerating directory contents
- obtaining file system information (e.g. application data directories)
- Byte-order detection and conversion
- parsing template-metafunction parser-builder for Parsing Expression Grammars
- signals and slots type-safe signals-slots
- misc. C++ utilities
- transform iterators
- singletons with sub-typing
- iterator ranges
- sub-range values
- …
