Standard Library

Standard library in namespace cilia (instead of std to avoid naming conflicts and to allow easy parallel use).

• With a Cilia version of each standard class/concept (i.e. CamelCase class names and camelCase function and variable names)
  • cilia::String instead of std::string
  • Map instead of map
    • Dictionary as alias with deprecation warning, as a hint for C# programmers.
  • ForwardList instead of forward_list
  • UnorderedMap instead of unordered_map
  • ValueType instead of value_type
  • Some exceptions/variations:
    • Array instead of vector
    • StringStream instead of stringstream
      • TextStream, ByteStream, …
• Mostly a shallow wrapper,
  • e.g. class cilia::String : public std::string { ... }
  • with “aliases” for
    • member variables
      using var x = data[0]
using var y = data[1]
    • member functions
      using func pushBack = push_back
  • A wrapper is not strictly necessary, Cilia can access/call every C/C++ class/function without.
    But only with wrapper we have
    • a Cilia standard library in the “idiomatic” Cilia style (i.e. CamelCase),
    • whose types/classes are also used with existing C++ APIs (i.e. using Int, Int32, String and StringView instead of int, int32_t, string and string_view).
