Entropy

Entropy is a collection of utilites that have proven to be useful

Installing

./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make check
make install

Dependencies

• Compiler supporting C++14, tested against GCC 5.2.0 and clang 3.7.0
• boost, tested against 1.60.0 optionally
• gtest and gmock, compiled and installed as shared library, tested against scm version after merger, TODO
• python 3.3 or newer, tested against 3.5.1
• libuv 1.x or newer, tested against 1.8.0

Exception

A heirarchy of exceptions built on top of boost Exception which allow for tag based information to be attached

ENTROPY_EXCEPTION_BASE(NameofModule, "ModuleName:);
ENTROPY_EXCEPTION(TypeOfError, "Description", NameofModule);
ENTROPY_ERROR_INFO(Extrainfo, std::string);
ENTROPY_ERROR_INFO(MoreExtraInfo, int);

ENTROPY_THROW(TypeOfError("This is a description of THIS error") <<
	ExtraInfo(val) <<
	MoreExtraInfo(info)
);

to output all attched error information as well as exception::what() when -DDEBUG

try
{
	IWillThrowAnError();
}
catch(std::exception &e)
{
	cout << e << endl;
}

###Log Built on top of boost Log to allow serverity based logging

test/Log/trivial.cc for an example of usage

###Module Allows for easy definition/implementation of plugins

define an Interface e.g. test/Module/interface.hh

Import<interface> module("name of module.so");

then just interact w/ the module as if it was a pointer to the interface

###Python The beginnings of a library for interacting w/ python, intended to allow the implementation of a Python based module system matching above

###Net Built partially ontop of libuv, still under construction

##To Do

• Implement PyModule
  • Python wrappers
  • Interface wrapper for python
• Static implementation of Net
• Implement Asio
  • TCP
    • Client
    • Server
  • UDP
    • Client
    • Server
  • File?
  • SCTP?
  • SSDP?
• Configuration of Log
• Parsing of ArgC/ArgV in Entropy::Application
