libflow (v0.1)

What's that?

libflow is a simple yet robust data-flow pipeline library written using C++14.

• following SYR principle, libflow can be (re)used almost whenever everywhere

Compiling

libflow currently supports Linux or any Unix-like system. There is no official support for Windows/Mac (yet). However, strict coding rules and C++14 standard conformance, should also allow for flawless compilation under Windows or Mac. That applies to using rather recent C++14 compiler (gcc, clang or msvc).

git clone https://github.com/barczynsky/libflow.git
cd libflow
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

You will end up with the main libflow shared object (libflow.so) and a bunch of simple examples, usually presenting recent features and fixes.

• Recommended C++ standard used for compiling is C++14. Only some minor elements of it may be in use, but this alone needs a C++14 conformant compiler or high enough standard extensions support.

Dependencies

• C++ Standard Library
• tea and chocolate
• a chair
• You

Features

• non-template common base class (Node)
• template derived classes thus accepting any type
• input form std::istream into DataBlock objects (INode)
• output to std::ostream from DataBlock objects (ONode)
• dedicated node well suited for I/O buffering (IONode)

TODO

• think over ConvertNode class (storage-less converter)
• create other nodes (e.g. ZeroMQ sockets)
