Joel's Template Collection (JTC)

JTC is a header-only collection of C++11-compatible templates. It includes functions, classes, type traits and random metaprogramming helpers. JTC is primarily a personal project, developed as a learning experience, and it is shared with the hope of being useful. The main features and design goals of the project are:

1. No C++ Standard Library dependencies, making it a viable option for embedded development in platforms where a C++11 compiler is available, but shipped without STL headers (e.g. AVR GCC).
   • Functions and type traits available on the Standard Library are often added to JTC, as needed from my other projects.
   • "Modernized" versions of the utilities are usually implemented, bringing some of the C++14 and C++17 functionality into C++11.
2. Modularity: Most files have few dependencies between themselves, so they can be easily imported into different projects without using the whole collection.
3. Readability: Hopefully, the code is clean and commented well enough for it to help others' learning journeys, as it has been helping me understand better some of the ins and outs of C++.
4. Static tests: Wherever viable, the code includes simple static_assert-based tests, to guarantee functionality under your compiler.
   • This behavior can be disabled by defining the macro JTC_NO_TESTS, for cases where tests slow down compilation of multiple translation units.
5. Boost License, a permissive, GPL-compatible license, that does not require attribution on binary distributions.

How to use the "library"

JTC is header-only and has no external dependencies, so you can:

• Copy the include/jtc folder into your project or just the desired files;
• Download the single-header version of the library and embed into your project; (TODO)
• Utilize this repository as a git submodule, then add include to your include path;
  • This folder can also be used as a CMake subdirectory. (TODO)
• Install it using CMake for whole-system availability. (TODO)

Requirements:

• A C++11-compliant compiler where the size of char is 8 bits.
