The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

-
Refactoring with C++17 std::optional
Or nonstd::expected. Personally, I would rather use output parameters and an enum result or a std::variant over std::optional, because at the very least you have the option for more specific error diagnostics.
-
std::expected (with monadic interface) implementation in C++20 (P0323, P2505)
As someone who is new to this API (so I can't discern from the list of features which might be better for my use case), I second the question, and I'd like to extend the question to how it compares to https://github.com/martinmoene/expected-lite and https://github.com/bitwizeshift/result as well.

C++ Return: std::any, std::optional, or std::variant?

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
I'm not sure this is quite what you're asking for, but this library has been super helpful to me in the past : https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
- Usable Magic Enums for C++
-
Fully Permissive License C++ Logger For Embedded System
Also, a shoutout to Magic Enum: https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
- Favorite Ways of Stringifying Enums
-
enum_name (yet another enum to/from string conversion utility >=C++11)
What does this have to offer over magic_enum?
-
quill v2.7.0 released - Asynchronous Low Latency C++ Logging Library
But it's a hack, and I prefer not to use hacks in production, because of their significant limitations:
-
Enums print numbers instead of words
You can either write a to string(view) function for your enum or use https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
-
Enums with methods
Why reinvent the wheel? magic_enum
-
Error: Boost bimap can't convert const CompatibleKey to Key&
Also if you want to convert enum members to string representation I suggest you just use magic_enum instead, much smaller dependency.
-
Macro to write enum and converter from and to string
Magic Enum provides that.
What are some alternatives?

scope_guard - A modern C++ scope guard that is easy to use but hard to misuse.
