ExprTK VS tomlplusplus

I have found many libraries that can evaluate mathematical expressions, e.g. this one: https://www.partow.net/programming/exprtk/index.html

I have used https://github.com/ArashPartow/exprtk for this task, since it is cpp we also used on IOS, however in android we changed to exp4j since it requires less space and did the same job.

For the specific example repo you cited, the project website also offers some preconfigured example MSVC solutions. You may find this much easier to get set up and running if using a Makefile is not a hard requirement.

This ExprTk library looks promising: https://www.partow.net/programming/exprtk/index.html

Now there are lots of libraries out there for expression processing as well. I would recommend exprtk: https://github.com/ArashPartow/exprtk

If your actual goal isn't to implement it yourself and you need it for something else, take a look at this library: https://github.com/ArashPartow/exprtk

Unless you want to make your own config file parser as an exercise (which is a good idea) I'd recommend using toml++.

It's a public repo - this one: https://github.com/marzer/tomlplusplus but thank you

For a live demo, see the toml++ homepage: https://marzer.github.io/tomlplusplus/

Added bonus, tomlplusplus is a solid C++ implementation, actively updated, and easy to drop into a project (header only, CMake, vcpkg, Conan, etc.). Very easy to use for what I've needed.

I use them in toml++ to store the path of the source document for all the data nodes parsed from that document. Storing it as a separate std::string allocation for every single object would have been very wasteful, and the alternative would have been to make an overall document class that owned everything, which I didn't want to do, so shared_ptr was a good compromise.

toml++ was both my first 'public'/open-source project, and my first ever attempt at a parser. There's a few things I'd do differently now if I were to write it from scratch, but I've learned a lot along the way (particularly about making things build 'clean' on multiple platforms).
