Basic Standard Library Implementation Mechanisms (bslim)

Description

The 'bslim' package provides implementation mechanisms that are typically used to implement functionality provided by other components. For example, bslim_printer greatly simplifies the implementation of standard BDE 'print' methods having this interface:

 bsl::ostream& print(bsl::ostream& stream,
                     int           level          = 0,
                     int           spacesPerLevel = 4) const;

The bslim_testutil component provides a set of macros that are widely used in the test drivers of other BDE components.

Hierarchical Synopsis

The 'bslim' package currently has 8 components having 2 levels of physical dependency. The list below shows the hierarchical ordering of the components. The order of components within each level is not architecturally significant, just alphabetical.

 2. bslim_fuzzutil
    bslim_printer
 
 1. bslim_bslforwardstdheaderstest
    bslim_bslstandardheadertest
    bslim_formatguard
    bslim_fuzzdataview
    bslim_gtestutil
    bslim_testutil

Component Synopsis

bslim_bslforwardstdheaderstest : Provide a location for testing bsl standard forwarding headers.

bslim_bslstandardheadertest : Provide a location for testing bsl standard library headers.

bslim_formatguard : Provide a guard for saving the state of a stream object.

bslim_fuzzdataview : Provide a view of a buffer of fuzz data bytes.

bslim_fuzzutil : Provide fuzz test utilities for basic types.

bslim_gtestutil : Provide facilities for debugging BDE with gtest.

bslim_printer : Provide a mechanism to implement standard print methods.

bslim_testutil : Provide test utilities for components above bsl.
