| 1 | +# fixed_string |
| 2 | +C++ library that provides a `basic_fixed_string` template that combines `std::array` fixed-size semantic and `std::string` semantic together |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +## Features |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +* C++17 or higher |
| 7 | +* Header-only |
| 8 | +* Dependency-free |
| 9 | +* No dynamic allocations |
| 10 | +* Fully constexpr |
| 11 | +* Can be used as class non-type template parameter __(since C++20)__ |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## Examples |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +* Construction |
| 16 | +```cpp |
| 17 | +constexpr fixstr::fixed_string foo = "foo"; |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +* Concatenation |
| 21 | +```cpp |
| 22 | +using namespace fixstr; |
| 23 | +constexpr fixed_string first = "Hello, "; |
| 24 | +constexpr fixed_string second = "World!"; |
| 25 | +constexpr auto result = first + second; // "Hello, World!" |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +* Comparison |
| 29 | +```cpp |
| 30 | +using namespace fixstr; |
| 31 | +constexpr fixed_string first = "Hello, "; |
| 32 | +constexpr fixed_string second = "World!"; |
| 33 | +static_assert(first == second); // false |
| 34 | +static_assert(first != second); // true |
| 35 | +static_assert(first < second); // true |
| 36 | +static_assert(first <= second); // false |
| 37 | +static_assert(first > second); // false |
| 38 | +static_assert(first >= second); // false |
| 39 | +static_assert(first <=> second != 0); // true |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | +
|
| 42 | +* Non-type template parameter |
| 43 | +```cpp |
| 44 | +template <fixstr::fixed_string Foo> |
| 45 | +void bar() |
| 46 | +{ |
| 47 | + static_assert(Foo == "foo"sv); |
| 48 | +} |
| 49 | +
|
| 50 | +void foo() |
| 51 | +{ |
| 52 | + bar<"foo">(); |
| 53 | +} |
| 54 | +``` |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +## Integration |
| 57 | +Since it's a header only library, you need just copy `fixed_string.hpp` to your project. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +## Compiler compatibility |
| 60 | +* GCC >= 7.3 |
| 61 | +* Clang >= 5 |
| 62 | +* ICC >= 19.0.1 |
| 63 | +* MSVC >= 14.28 / Visual Studio 2019 (I don't have access to older VS versions right now, so it can work on older versions too) |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +**Using `basic_fixed_string` as class non-type template parameter full available in GCC >= 10** |
