Abstract

MiLi is a collection of useful C++ libraries, composed only by headers. No installation, no makefile, no complications: just KISS. Simple solutions for simple problems.

Libraries

MiLi version 16 includes the following libraries (one header file length each):

• bitwise-enums: library for type-safe bitwise operations based on enums.
• pre-pos caller: library for wrapping object methods calls.
• promotion-disable: library for disabling undesired C++ type conversions.
• delete-container: deletes the elements of an STL container filled with pointers.
• factory: provides a simple machinery to create subclasses from a given key.
• invariants: provides invariants for function arguments and classes.
• type-mapper: simple type mapping declarations.
• properties: simple properties implementation.
• string-utils: various string utilities, such as case-insensitive strings and number/text conversions.
• container-utils: UPDATED! generic STL container utilities, optimized for specific containers. (formerly find-utils).
• stream-utils: i/o stream utilities for reading/writing formatted data (such as CSV).
• arith-utils: FIXED! arithmetic utilities (random numbers, range checks).
• binary-streams: binary streams for serializing data.
• loop-unrolling: compile-time loop unrolling using TMP.
• compile-assert: compile-time (a.k.a. static) assertions.
• template-info: template parameters information (a la typeinfo).
• fast-list: very optimized list for high performance.
• ranker: UPDATED! ranker library.
• coroutines: simple and os-independant coroutines library.
• variants-set: NEW! a simple set of heterogenic types library.

NOTE: current package missed the install.sh script. Please get it from here or from the svn repository.

Donations

MiLi is maintained at FuDePAN, an NGO/NPO for bioinformatics research. If you find MiLi useful, please consider to donate so we can keep up the research and maintenance.

Usage

Just #include "mili.h". You can disable then inclusion of individual libraries by adding a specific #define (refer to README), or just include specific headers (note). Additionally, you may enclose all the libraries within the mili namespace by #defining MILI_NAMESPACE before including "mili.h".

Next Release

MiLi version 17.0 is coming soon, with a generic pow() function implemented with TMP for best performance (want to try it? Checkout the svn repository). ATTENTION GCC 4.5 USERS: Use the SVN version, since the current released one doesn't compile.

See CHANGELOG for further details.
