This project implements a simple in-memory key-value store with support for transactions. The database allows you to start a transaction, make changes to the data, and either commit these changes to the main state or roll them back.
To compile and run this program, you will need a C++17 compatible compiler. The following steps should guide you through the process:
-
Compile the program with C++17 support:
g++ -std=c++17 -o Main main.cpp
-
Run the executable:
./Main
On Windows: .\Main.exe ((ensure you have MinGW or a similar gcc compiler installed).
Ensure that you have g++ installed on your system. On Unix-based systems, you can typically install it using your package manager (for example, apt on Ubuntu or brew on macOS).
For future iterations of this assignment, it would be beneficial to:
- Clarify the expected behavior in edge cases, such as attempts to read, update, or delete keys within and outside of transactions.
- Include a test suite with a comprehensive set of automated tests to facilitate grading and ensure that all edge cases are covered.
- Provide a standardized way for handling null or nonexistent keys, possibly incorporating modern C++ features like
std::optionalif C++17 or later standards can be used.
