cesbio-utils
is a header-only C++ library with small utilities for:
- string manipulation (
cbutils::string
), - file IO (
cbutils::file
), - sequence manipulation (
cbutils::seq
), - etc.
which can be useful for rapid prototyping and scripting in C++.
The library is not optimised for speed or memory, but rather for writing simple code. For instance, std::vector
is used as a return value instead of passing std::vector&
as an output parameter. Although move semantics in modern C++ should suppress the copy of the return value, some programmers will see that as a heresy.
We prefer being able to write
auto lines = cbutils::seq::tail(cbutils::file::readlines(input_file));
rather than
std::vector<std::string> lines{};
cbutils::file::readlines(input_file, lines);
std::vector<std::string> lines_without_first_line{};
cbutils::seq::tail(lines, lines_without_first_line);
