CppELib is a portable C++ library for embedded software development. This works on the freestanding environment such as:

No standard C++ libraries
Disabled exception-handling

Description

CppELib provides these mechanisms:

Assertion

This is used instead of standard assert() macro. If an assertion fails, you must handle to do shutdown your application safely. There are two assertion macros. CHECK_ASSERT() is always enabled, DEBUG_ASSERT() is enabled only when NDEBUG macro is not defined.
Container

STL-like containers without dynamic memory allocation: fixed capacity vector, fixed capacity deque, intrusive list, etc.
OSWrapper

If you use a vendor's real-time operating system (RTOS), perhaps you can't use common class library like std::thread. OSWrapper provides abstract C++ interface of common RTOS: thread, mutex, event flag, message queue, memory pool, etc. This makes your application more portable and testable. And you can get a simulation environment for debug or test of your application on your host machine without the target board too (but real-time property may not be guaranteed). If the source files for your OS platform are not prepared in platform directory, you need to implement concrete classes of OS API wrapper. These concrete classes are only used for Dependency Injection as the application is initialized.

Requirements

mechanism: C++98 or later (freestanding)
platform of Windows and POSIX: C++11 or later

Installation

Add source and header files to your application source tree and add mechanism and platform directories to the include path.

If you can use Conan C++ package manager, execute these commands in this repo root directory to install cppelib_mechanism package and cppelib_platform package.

conan create mechanism

conan create platform

If you want these packages with C++ exception disabled, you can use tool/profiles/profile_noexceptions to include in your conan profile. In that case, all your packages must use the same conan profile. See tool/build_package.sh to know about how to use a sample conan profile.

Test

Tests of CppELib use CppUTest because this testing framework is portable. Tests can be run on multi-platform: Visual Studio, g++, and your target platform.

Execute these conan commands in this repo root directory to run tests.

conan build mechanism/test --build=missing

conan build platform/test --build=missing
