cortexlib  v0.2.0
Cortex

Contributor Covenant License Current Release

A library with a bunch of random types, classes, functions, algorithms and other general purpose utilities for C++. Cortex serves as a collection of any general C++ components that don't really fit anywhere else.

Development Status

Cortex is pretty unstable and currently undergoes regular changes. It also has limited testing meaning that meaning it could break. There is no promise for long-term support and may evolve without regard to backwards compatibility. That being said I do plan to stabilise the library more with time.

Install

Cortex is available from the CodeBytes CRS repository. Simply add cortexlib@0.2.0 to the 'dependencies' section of your bpt.yaml file. When running bpt build, use --use-repo "codebytes.netlify.app" or -r "codebytes.netlify.app" flag option to specify lookup through CodeBytes.

Cortex is broken down into three separate sub-libraries. These being:

  • containers/. . .
  • iterators/. . .
  • utilities/. . .

To use any component from these library simply #include the relevant header prefixed with the library eg. #include <data_structures/matrix.hxx>

  • GCC-11.3.0
  • Clang-15.0.6

Features

Cortex is a library with a bunch of random components from different data structures and algorithms to concurrency tools and general utilities. Everything in Cortex is kept within the cxl namespace.

Containers

Cortex features a few unique, general purpose container types designed to compliment the existing C++ standard library containers and algorithms.

List of Containers

  • cxl::matrix - Generic, owning 2D array.
  • cxl::tensor - Generic, owning multidimensional array (in dev).

Iterators

Iterators library is designed to compliment the containers library and offer different traversal patterns across various data structures.

List of Iterators

  • cxl::normal_iterator - A iterator that adapts non-object iterators (pointers) into object iterators while keeping the original entities semantics.

Utilities

Cortex's utilities library contains various general purpose utility objects and types.

List of Utilities

  • cxl::utils::match - A visitor object type allowing for conditional access to a std::variant.
  • cxl::utils::match_any - A type which acts as the base fallthrough match for a match expression.
