C++ is a great language to use for embedded applications and templates are a powerful aspect. The standard library can offer a great deal of well-tested functionality, but there are some parts of the standard library that do not fit well with deterministic behavior and limited resource requirements. These limitations usually preclude the use of dynamically allocated memory and containers with open-ended sizes. What is needed is a template library where the user can declare the size, or maximum size of any object upfront. Most embedded compilers do not currently support the standard beyond C++ 03, therefore excluding the programmer from using the enhanced features of the later library.
Features
- Cross platform. This library is not specific to any processor type
- No dynamic memory allocation
- Very little use of virtual functions. They are used only when they are absolutely necessary for the required functionality
- A set of fixed capacity containers. (array, bitset, deque, forward_list, list, queue, stack, vector, map, set, etc.)
- As the storage for all of the container types is allocated as a contiguous block, they are extremely cache friendly
- Reverse engineered C++ 0x11 features (type traits, algorithms, containers etc.)
- Unit tested (currently over 6480 tests), using VS2019, GCC 8.1.0, , GCC 9.3.0, Clang 9.0.0 & 10.0.0
- Variants (a type that can store many types in a type-safe interface)
