OctaSTD is a collection of C++ utilities to aid the upcoming OctaForge C++
|
|
|
|
|
API. It provides containers (dynamic arrays etc) as well as other utilities.

It utilizes C++11. It also implements equivalents of certain C++14 library
|
|
|
|
|
features that are possible to implement with the C++11 language. It does not
|
|
|
|
|
go beyond C++11 level when it comes to core language features.

Other C++11 compliant compilers might work as well. OctaSTD does not utilize
|
|
|
|
|
compiler specific extensions except certain builtin type traits - to implement
|
|
|
|
|
traits that are not normally possible to implement without compiler support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OctaSTD does not provide fallbacks for those traits. The compiler is expected
|
2015-05-06 20:54:20 +02:00
|
|
|
to support these builtins. So far the 2 above-mentioned compilers support them
|
|
|
|
|
(MSVC++ supports most of these as well).

MSVC++ is currently unsupported. It is likely that it will never be supported,
|
|
|
|
|
as it seems that MS will start supporting Clang in Visual Studio; however,
|
|
|
|
|
if that does not happen and the MS C++ compiler gains the required features,
|
2015-09-09 20:51:33 +02:00
|
|
|
support will be added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Supported operating systems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently supported OSes in OctaSTD are Linux, FreeBSD and OS X. Other
|
|
|
|
|
systems that implement POSIX API will also work (if they don't, bug reports
|
|
|
|
|
are welcome).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Windows is supported at least with the MinGW (gcc) and Clang compilers. MS
|
|
|
|
|
Visual Studio is currently unsupported.
