This repository contains "from scratch" implementations of many C++17 standard library features. It's intended for use with my upcoming workshop on "The Standard Library From Scratch".
This code is not intended for use in production!
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
(That is, I won't stop you from using it, but it's liable to be inefficient, incomplete, incorrect, non-portable, and so on. Use the actual standard library instead; it's what it's there for.)
The good stuff
If you're looking for the code snippets, you should skip straight
to the bits/ subdirectory.
git log is your friend
The git history of this repo is just as much a part of the "product" as the code at the current top-of-tree. I'll try to keep the commits topical, and if I find out that something in the history is wrong, I'll go fix it. This means that this repo will be force-pushed a lot.
If you're browsing the code, all you need to know is that git log
and git blame will be very useful to you.
Writing test cases
In general, you should be able to compile a test program with
g++ -std=c++14 -I ${THIS_REPO}/include/ test.cc
The "from scratch" library should behave pretty much the same as the
standard library; just do a global search-and-replace on your
#includes and your stds.
#include <scratch/algorithm>
int main() {
scratch::vector<int> v{3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9};
scratch::sort(v.begin(), v.end());
assert((v == scratch::vector<int>{1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 9}));
}
