p-otto / libzeug

C++ sanctuary for small but powerful and frequently required, stand alone features.

libzeug

Libzeug is a collection of C++ functions, classes and libraries that are too small to be standalone. It acts like a storage point for useful and reusable code for everyone using C++. Libzeug is a cross-platform library licenced under the MIT license.

The current modules in libzeug are:

• iozeug
• loggingzeug
• propertyguizeug
• reflectionzeug
• scriptzeug
• signalzeug
• threadingzeug

The current release is libzeug-v0.5.0.

Our wiki contains information to help you get started.

Documentation

Dependencies

The following dev-libraries and programs need to be provided for correct CMake configuration:

• C++11 compatible compiler (e.g. gcc 4.7, VS 2013)
• CMake (>=2.8.9, better 2.8.12): http://www.cmake.org/
• Qt5 (>= 5.0): http://www.qt-project.org/

iozeug

iozeug contains a function to read a file into an std::string.

loggingzeug

loggingzeug provides stream like logging functionality with customizable outputs (default output is to the console).

propertyguizeug

propertyguizeug contains the automatic generation of a GUI from a set of properties from reflectionzeug.

reflectionzeug

reflectionzeug allows the definition of properties that can be used to parameterize a program. It supports saving and loading properties to and from a file. The currently implemented property types are bool, float, double, std::string, FilePath, Color, every integral type, user-defined enums and glm types. Every prior type can be wrapped in an std::array. You can extend reflectionzeug and add your own types.

scriptzeug

scriptzeug offers a scripting environment to which one can register reflectionzeug objects that then can be manipulated within a scripting language. Currently implemented as scripting environment is Javascript, both with V8 (must be compiled and provided externally) and Duktape (default, included in scriptzeug).

signalzeug

signalzeug is a small library that provides classes for a simple signal system. Objects can define signals they can fire and other objects can register on those signals. Arbitrary parameters and even signal chaining are allowed.

threadingzeug

threadingzeug provides a parallel_for function that uses either OpenMP or the std::thread classes to execute a for loop concurrently.
