build2 Package for GSL

This project is a build2 package repository that provides access to the Guidelines Support Library (GSL), a C++ header-only library that contains functions and types that are suggested for use by the C++ Core Guidelines maintained by the Standard C++ Foundation.

Usage

Make sure to add the stable section of the cppget.org repository to your project's repositories.manifest to be able to fetch this package.

:
role: prerequisite
location: https://pkg.cppget.org/1/stable
# trust: ...

If the stable section of cppget.org is not an option then add this Git repository itself instead as a prerequisite.

:
role: prerequisite
location: https://github.com/build2-packaging/gsl.git

Add the respective dependency in your project's manifest file to make the package available for import.

depends: gsl ^4.0.0

The library can be imported by the following declaration in a buildfile.

import gsl = gsl%lib{gsl}

Configuration

There are no configuration options available.

Issues and Notes

• All test source files are not provided as symbolic links but have been deeply copied and altered to be executable with doctest and not gtest. At the time of creation, gtest was not available. For the next package version, this will most likely be changed. The tests will be provided as external tests packages depending on gtest.
