CPPX

CPPX is currently a Linux-only C++ shared library that implements utility functions complementing the STL for GNU toolchains.

Requirements

• Linux distribution
• GNU-compatible C/C++ compiler
• CMake
• git

Install dependencies

• Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential cmake git

• Fedora/RHEL

sudo dnf install cmake git

• Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S cmake git

Building CPPX

Option A (Recommended for Minimal Hassle)

Use precompiled .so & .h

1. Download the lib-cppx.so file from the /build/bin directory and the cppx.h file from the /include directory, then move them to the folder where you plan to compile your C++ source file.

CPPX/
├── build/
│   └── bin/
│       └── lib-cppx.so
└── include/
    └── cppx.h

Option B (You are on your own now)

Build from source .so & .h

1. Clone the repository and enter the project root.

git clone git@github.com:IFKabir/CPPX.git
cd CPPX

2. Create a build directory and configure with CMake.

mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake ..

3. Build the shared library.

make

4. You now can find .so file and .h file in

CPPX/
├── build/
│   └── bin/
│       └── lib-cppx.so
└── include/
    └── cppx.h

Run

1. Copy both lib-cppx.so and header.h into the same directory as your yourFile.cpp.

2. Include header.h file in your cpp file using #include "header.h".

3. With your file named yourFile.cpp run the following command making sure that lib-cppx.so is in the same directory as the executable when you run it.

g++ -std=c++17 yourFile.cpp \
    ./lib-cppx.so \
    -Wl,-rpath=. \
    -o app

2. Run the generated executable

./app
