octastd

OctaSTD is a new "standard library" for C++14. It provides containers (dynamic arrays etc) as well as other utilities.

Documentation for OctaSTD can be found at https://wiki.octaforge.org/docs/octastd.

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

Supported compilers

Compiler	Version
gcc/g++	5+
clang	3.8+

Other C++14 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 to support these builtins. So far the 2 above-mentioned compilers support them (MSVC++ supports most of these as well).

While Clang 3.6 does implement a sufficient level of C++14 support, it suffers from a bug in its template variable implementation that prevents OctaSTD from functioning. Therefore version 3.8 or higher is necessary (where this bug was finally fixed).

MSVC++ is currently unsupported. It is likely that it will never be supported, as MS recently introduced Clang frontend support in Visual Studio; however, if their own frontend gains all the necessary features, support will be considered.

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.
