murmele / dbc_parser_cpp

A DBC file parsing library written in C++11.

C++ DBC Parser

This is to provide a library header only file to read in DBC files. I was looking around and couldn't find a simple library that didn't have dependencies. So here we are making one. I got some inspiration from the python dbc library here: https://pypi.org/project/cantools/

Testing

I am trying to always make sure that this is very well tested code. I am using Catch2 to do this testing and if you aren't familiar here is the documentation: https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/blob/master/docs/Readme.md#top

To run the tests locally you can use the following:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make test -j

Building

I am using Cmake to be able to build the tests and the lib. I plan on doing more with it but this is what it is for now. I am doing developement on the WSL Ubuntu 18.04 kernel. This doesn't mean that IDEs aren't welcome but the build process might not be suited for this. You will need to modify it for your needs. Feel free to submit changes so the building process will be more robust.

Here are the steps to get started:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Scripts

To use the scripts in scripts/ you will need to install the requirements from the top level directory.

pip install -r script-requirements.txt
