TauUtils

This contains lots of common utilities used throughout most of the other projects.

Some things this contains:

• Alignment helpers

• Array List

  • A dynamically expanding array using page based allocation

• Atomic Intrinsics

• Type Safe Console Printing

• Dynamic Array

  • Non expanding arrays that manage allocation and deallocation

• Endian Helpers

• Enum Bit Fields

  • Operators and functions to treat enumerations as a set of flags

• Various numerical values

  • pi, e, tau, etc

• Numerical Types

  • Basic sized integers, wrappers for size_t, min and max value helpers

• Class Macros

  • Default and delete construction, copy, and destruction macros

• Reference Counting Pointers

• Basic RTTI

  • O(1) time, uses simple integers

• Various Safety Helpers

  • Macros for settings optional error code pointers
  • Some unused Expected types

• Strings

• Type Name Helpers

• Various Math Functions

  • min/max
  • Epsilon equivalency checking
  • Leading/Trailing 0 counting
  • log2i

• Various Other Macros

  • DLL Export/Import
  • Unused helpers
  • NoVtable (Win32 Only)
  • Restrict
  • Breakpoint
  • null

• Variable length array

  • Uses either compiler extension or alloca

• Fixed Block Allocator

  • 3 different modes of tracking
  • 2 different operating modes
    • Arena (Everything is released at once)
    • Normal (Destroyed blocks can be reused)

• Free List Allocator

  • Specialty allocator used to release a lot of shared pointers at once
  • This is primarily used by command lists in Tau Engine

• Page Allocator

  • Some helper functions for allocating pages

• AVL Tree

  • Contains a typical tree with pointers and a streamed (DOP) tree where every element is broken up into its own array
