range-v3 VS scnlib

std::ranges is in c++20, but you can pull in the library it was based on if you use 17 (https://github.com/ericniebler/range-v3)

What you are describing seems to be std::ranges. If you’re interested in understanding how to implement it, I recommend checking out the original reference implementation, rangev3. Trying to implement your own ranges framework is really good practice for learning how to do efficient, advanced generic programming in C++. I highly recommend it as a hobby learning project. But it’s also really, really hard to do correctly, so please just use the stdlib and/or rangev3 in any real project.

In C++23, there will be std::views::cartesian_product. It is already available in the range-v3 library, the one that the standard is based on.

/** * @brief Forwards value equivalent to the std::forward. * * Using cast instead of std::forward to avoid template instantiation. Used by * Eric Niebler in range library. * * @see https://github.com/ericniebler/range-v3 */

It uses a custom zip_iterator (which isn't very good, and you should really use the one from boost or from range-v3).

It contains very little functionality compared to the Eric Niebler’s reference implementation for my liking. Especially views. This will undoubtedly change in the future. But the point is moot, because they are not really supported the is no other option for now other than https://github.com/ericniebler/range-v3.

range-v3 is a great library allowing you to bridge the gap: https://github.com/ericniebler/range-v3

[range-v3](https://github.com/ericniebler/range-v3) which std::ranges was based on has the `to>()` which as far as I know is expected to get into c++23 :)

scnlib (https://github.com/eliaskosunen/scnlib) scanf

include(FetchContent) FetchContent_Declare( Catch2 GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2.git GIT_TAG v3.0.0-preview4 ) FetchContent_Declare( fmt GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt.git GIT_TAG 9.1.0 ) FetchContent_Declare( scnlib GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/eliaskosunen/scnlib.git GIT_TAG v1.1.2 ) FetchContent_MakeAvailable(Catch2 fmt scnlib)

Yeah, but parsing format strings in runtime induces an overhead, and doing it in compile time is not trivial, and I’m not sure ClearIO is worth the trouble, since it turns out scnlib exists.

The code is rather nice (in my biased opinion) and makes heavy use of a couple of libraries like scnlib and [Eigen](eigen.tuxfamily.org/). Some things could probably be more optimized but I mainly focused on conciseness. I hope this is useful and I can explain my thought process further if you have any questions.

I've found https://github.com/eliaskosunen/scnlib but haven't tested it. Maybe that suits your needs for 2.

I had a user enum like enum class Color {Red, Green, Blue}; that I wanted to add serialization support for. Following the docs (https://scnlib.readthedocs.io/), after some tweaks I arrived at the following:

Thanks for the comment, I made an issue tracking this: https://github.com/eliaskosunen/scnlib/issues/51

I am using some modern libraries: scnlib fmtlib Eigen and usually abuse lambdas :)
