| This library provides polyfills for different versions of the standard library. |
| |
| Constructs are withing namespaces for each specific version, such as "cpp17, cpp20". |
| |
| Polyfills will only be used when the standard version is not available. |
| |
| In some cases, some free functions may be provided. These functions fill gaps of classes |
| that are extended in later iterations of the standard (e.g. std::string_view::starts_with). |
| In the above example, std::string_view polyfill would live in cpp17::string_view and a free |
| function should exist in cpp20::starts_with(std::string_view, prefix). |
| |
| The library has a set of macros for testing or enforcing different conditions. All that is required is for this symbols to be defined. |
| |
| - LIB_STDCOMPAT_USE_POLYFILLS : Will pick polyfill implementation over std. |
| |
| - LIB_STDCOMPAT_NO_INLINE_VARIABLES: Uses stdcompat alternative for inline variables. |
