OctaSTD is an extension of the C++14 standard library which mainly provides
|
|
|
|
|
ranges (to replace iterators) but also various other utilities like proper
|
|
|
|
|
streams, string formatting, concurrency utilities and others. It's meant
|
|
|
|
|
to replace the more poorly designed parts of the C++ standard library to
|
|
|
|
|
make the language easier and more convenient to use.

Full C++14 support is required in your compiler.

Other C++14 compliant compilers might work as well. OctaSTD does not utilize
|
2017-01-14 15:09:27 +01:00
|
|
|
compiler specific extensions.

While Clang 3.6 does implement a sufficient level of C++14 support, it suffers
|
2016-07-08 20:53:40 +02:00
|
|
|
from a bug in its variable template implementation that prevents OctaSTD from
|
2016-01-12 19:33:46 +01:00
|
|
|
functioning. Therefore version 3.8 or higher is necessary (where this bug was
|
|
|
|
|
finally fixed).
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
GCC has implemented a sufficient feature level of C++14 since version 5.1, but
|
2016-07-08 20:53:40 +02:00
|
|
|
also is too buggy until version 5.4. Version 5.1 and 5.2 have variable template
|
2016-07-03 21:27:44 +02:00
|
|
|
partial specialization issues and version 5.3 has an internal compiler error
|
|
|
|
|
triggered by the tuple implementation. Version 5.4 appears to be the first one
|
|
|
|
|
to compile this without issues. GCC 6.1 also appears to compile without problems.

MSVC++ is currently unsupported but being worked on. You will need at least
|
|
|
|
|
2015 Update 3 for this to work.

## Supported operating systems

|
|
|
Currently supported OSes in OctaSTD are Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows. Other
|
|
|
|
|
systems might work as well, as long as a sufficient compiler is provided.

MacOS support requires Xcode 8 or newer to work (or alternatively, official
|
|
|
|
|
LLVM distribution for macOS or any supported compiler from other channels
|
|
|
|
|
such as Homebrew). That is the first version to ship a Clang 3.8 based
|
|
|
|
|
toolchain, so things will not compile with an older version of Xcode.

Windows support includes MinGW, Clang and soon MSVC++.
