Sane C++ Libraries

YouTube X (formerly Twitter) Follow Discord GitHub Repo stars

Sane C++ Libraries is a set of C++ platform abstraction libraries for macOS, Windows and Linux.

Sane Cpp

Principles:

✅ Fast compile times
✅ Bloat free
✅ Simple readable code
✅ Easy to integrate
⛔️ No C++ Standard Library / Exceptions / RTTI
⛔️ No third party dependencies (prefer OS API)

Visit the documentation website for more information.

Libraries

Library Description
Algorithms 🟥 Placeholder library where templated algorithms will be placed
Async 🟨 Async I/O (files, sockets, timers, processes, fs events, threads wake-up)
Build 🟨 Minimal build system where builds are described in C++
Containers 🟨 Generic containers (SC::Vector, SC::SmallVector, SC::Array etc.)
File 🟩 Synchronous Disk File I/O
File System 🟩 File System operations { exists, copy, delete } for { files and directories }
File System Iterator 🟩 Enumerates files and directories inside a given path
File System Watcher 🟩 Notifications {add, remove, rename, modified} for files and directories
Foundation 🟩 Primitive types, asserts, limits, Function, Span, Result, Tagged Union
Hashing 🟩 Compute MD5, SHA1 or SHA256 hashes for a stream of bytes
Http 🟥 HTTP parser, client and server
Plugin 🟨 Minimal dependency based plugin system with hot-reload
Process 🟩 Create child processes and chain them (also usable with Async library)
Reflection 🟩 Describe C++ types at compile time for serialization
Serialization Binary 🟨 Serialize to and from a binary format using Reflection
Serialization Text 🟨 Serialize to / from text formats (JSON) using Reflection
Socket 🟨 Synchronous socket networking and DNS lookup
Strings 🟩 String formatting / conversion / manipulation (ASCII / UTF8 / UTF16)
Testing 🟨 Simple testing framework used by all of the other libraries
Threading 🟥 Atomic, thread, thread pool, mutex, condition variable
Time 🟨 Time handling (relative, absolute, high resolution)

Each library is color-coded to signal its status:

  • 🟥 Draft (incomplete, work in progress, proof of concept, works on basic case)
  • 🟨 MVP (minimum set of features have been implemented)
  • 🟩 Usable (a reasonable set of features has been implemented to make library useful)
  • 🟦 Complete (all planned features have been implemented)

C Bindings

Some Libraries have C bindings

Binding Description
sc_hashing Bindings for the Hashing Library

Building

Libraries can be used as is, adding a single file to your project and without needing any build system.
See Building (user) to just use the library

Shortly:

  • Add Bindings/cpp/SC.cpp to your build system of choice
  • Define SC_COMPILER_ENABLE_STD_CPP=1 if you plan to use the Standard C++ library
  • Include any public header (Libraries/[Library]/*.h)

Windows

  • Nothing else to link (in addition to default libs)

macOS / iOS

  • Link CoreFoundation.framework
  • Link CoreServices.framework

Linux

  • Link libdl (-ldl)
  • Link libpthread (-lpthread)

Examples

SCExample showcases integration of Sane C++ Libraries together with Dear ImGui and sokol libraries (see Examples page).

macOS

SCExample_04.mp4

iOS

SCExampleIOS_01.mp4

Tests

Tests are built with the self-hosted SC::Build project generator, describing the builds in C++.
Check Building (contributor) to run the tests.

Contributing

Please take some time to read the Principles and Coding Style.

After that you can read the CONTRIBUTING.md guide.
