A C++ development toolkit, including:
- exception-aware topical trace-logging
- os abstraction
- ncurses encapsulation
and more.
This is really just a personal toolbox of code that I like to reuse from one project to another. It isn't likely to be interesting to anyone else.
But in the event that it is, I offer it under a BSD-2-Clause license. (See the enclosed 'LICENSE' file for exact license terms.)
It is intended to be grafted into other projects, such as via a git submodule. It's only dependencies are:
- C++17 compiler (tested w/ G++ on Linux)
- GNU Make 4.1 or better
My other project 'make-forge' will be recursively fetched whenever you clone this repo; make-forge is required for building cx, or running the CX test suite.
The name 'CX' is historical; before the turn of the millennium, I was working on a Xlib widget set called 'Criterion X', and 'CX' was the prefix I used for all the typedef names, class definitions, etc. within that code base. That project has long-since been abandoned, however I've continued to use CX's debug tracing functionality and exception classes, in my more modern personal projects. The name stuck, but no longer means the same thing. Perhaps today the X in 'Criterion X' could mean "fill-in-the-blank"
