[C++20] ClearIO library (unfinished)
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.

My AoC2021 solutions in C++
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.

what annoys you most while using c++?
I've found https://github.com/eliaskosunen/scnlib but haven't tested it. Maybe that suits your needs for 2.

The Year is 2022 and the Standard is C++20; what is your preferred way to do Text I/O?
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:
-
scnlib (scanf for modern C++) - version 1.0 released
Thanks for the comment, I made an issue tracking this: https://github.com/eliaskosunen/scnlib/issues/51

Modern C++ in Advent of Code
I am using some modern libraries: scnlib fmtlib Eigen and usually abuse lambdas :)

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.
