hikogui VS uni-algo

See my own implementation: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/src/hikogui/concurrency/unfair_mutex.hpp

Yes, it is an open source project for a cross platform retained GUI library with a modern c++20 API. https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui

With some growing pains on configuring CMake, I was able to converted a single header file in my project github.com/hikogui/hikogui/ to a module interface file, but it hit an ICE immediately. Of course I reported it, including a crash dump, and a project-branch.

Look at all the pipeline_SDF source files at https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/tree/main/src/hikogui/GFX

Here is the fragment shader: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/shaders/pipeline_SDF.frag

Here is the tool to create de-duplicated table and index table from the unicode database: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/tools/generate_unicode_data.py

Thank you for mentioning HikoGUI.

On windows, you can even use just-in-time-debugging (enabled with registry key), which brings up a dialogue when the application crashes to select a debugger to attach to the "crashed" application. But for this to work correctly you need to do some fanzy things. See: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/src/hikogui/debugger.hpp and https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/src/hikogui/debugger_win32.cpp

Safe layer is just bounds checks that work in all cases that I need, before that I was coping with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG (doesn't have safe iterators for std::string and std::string_view and that I need the most) and MSVC debug iterators (better but slow as hell in debug). You can read more about the implementation here: https://github.com/uni-algo/uni-algo/blob/main/doc/SAFE_LAYER.md Nothing interesting it's possible to implement all of this even in C++98 but no one cared back then and it's a shame that it's not in C++ standard so we cannot choose to use safe or unsafe std::string for example and must rely on implementations in compilers that are simply incomplete in many cases or implement it from scratch.

Why call your files modules? "Modular programming" or "Modular architecture" is pretty standard term in programming I don't think there are a good synonym for "module" word so I plan to use "Modules" and "C++20 Modules" to avoid ambiguity. You have one cpp file in the project. Any reason for that? Including Unicode data files that may be pretty big into header files hurts compilation speed. C++20 Modules will help with that and I plan to support it. I'd also recommend supporting CMake I will support CMake it just I didn't need it in my development stage. Overall, looks very nice. Thank you. I made a post on GitHub with some of my plans: https://github.com/uni-algo/uni-algo/issues/3
