My C++ playground (there is some serious and useful code also!)

my-cplusplus-playground

This is my C++ playground.

Some code here are just examples or exercises for C++ features and some code are really useful and serious.

Most of this code was developed and compiled with GCC on Linux and Cygwin. For the samples without a Makefile, compile with the command:

 g++ -Wall -std=c++1y <INPUT.cpp> -o <OUTPUT>

• curry/ - Currying of functions and function-like types.
• nosj-cpp/ - A JSON library that works with UTF-8-encoded strings.
• SI/ - Types and operations on physical units - A toy-project to practice meta-programming with C++ templates. (You should not use this in serious applications! I recommend using Boost.Units library instead.)
• static-strings/ - Implementation of compile-time strings with some operations like concatenation, substrings, etc. Based on an idea found at Stack Overflow.
• typedecl/ - Exercises template specialization to detect every kind of type and generate a string representation of them.
• unified-assignment.cpp - An example for the unified assignment that acts as both copy and move assignment. For pre-C++11 code, it allows copy elision if used instead of a regular copy assignment that takes a const reference. See copy-and-swap idiom.
• user-defined-literals.cpp - Includes the definition of a compile-time binary number literal.
