|
# Usage
|
||
|
`toml++` comes in two flavours: Regular and Single-header.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Regular mode
|
||
|
1. Add `tomlplusplus/include` to your include paths
|
||
|
2. `#include <toml++/toml.h>`
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Single-header mode
|
||
|
1. Drop `toml.hpp` somewhere in your source tree
|
||
|
2. There is no step two
|
||
|
|
||
|
The API is the same regardless of how you consume the library. You'll find code examples in
|
||
|
the `examples` directory.
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
# Configuration
|
||
|
A number of configurable options are exposed in the form of preprocessor macros. Most likely you
|
||
|
won't need to mess with these at all, but in the event you do, set your overrides prior to including
|
||
|
toml++.
|
||
|
|
||
|
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|
||
|
|----------------------------|:--------------:|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||
|
| `TOML_ASSERT(expr)` | function macro | `assert(expr)`<br>(or undefined) | Sets the assert function used by the library. |
|
||
|
| `TOML_CHAR_8_STRINGS` | boolean | `0` | Uses C++20 [char8_t]-based strings as the toml string data type. |
|
||
|
| `TOML_CONFIG_HEADER` | string literal | undefined | Includes the given header file before the rest of the library. |
|
||
|
| `TOML_UNDEF_MACROS` | boolean | `1` | `#undefs` the library's internal macros at the end of the header. |
|
||
|
| `TOML_UNRELEASED_FEATURES` | boolean | `1` | Enables support for [unreleased TOML language features] not yet part of a [numbered version]. |
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
||
|
# TOML Language Support
|
||
|
At any given time `toml++` aims to implement whatever the [numbered version] of TOML is, with the
|
||
|
addition of unreleased features from the [TOML master] and some sane cherry-picks from the
|
||
|
[TOML issues list] where the discussion strongly indicates inclusion in a near-future release.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The library advertises the most recent numbered language version it fully supports via the preprocessor
|
||
|
defines `TOML_LANG_MAJOR`, `TOML_LANG_MINOR` and `TOML_LANG_REVISION`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### **🔸Unreleased features:**
|
||
|
- [#356]: Allow leading zeros in the exponent part of a float
|
||
|
- [#516]: Allow newlines and trailing commas in inline tables
|
||
|
- [#562]: Allow hex floatingpoint values
|
||
|
- [#567]: Clarify that control characters are not permitted in comments
|
||
|
- [#571]: Allow raw tabs inside strings
|
||
|
- [#622]: Add short escaping alias `\s` for space (`\u0020`)
|
||
|
- [#644]: Support `+` in key names
|
||
|
- [#665]: Make arrays heterogeneous
|
||
|
- [#671]: Local time of day format should support `09:30` as opposed to `09:30:00`
|
||
|
- [#687]: Relax bare key restrictions to allow additional unicode characters
|
||
|
|
||
|
_These can be disabled (and thus strict [TOML v0.5.0] compliance enforced) by specifying
|
||
|
`TOML_UNRELEASED_FEATURES = 0` (see [Configuration](#Configuration))._
|
||
|
|
||
|
### **🔹[v0.5.0](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/releases/tag/v0.5.0) and earlier:**
|
||
|
- All features as of `<< release date >>`.

# Contributing
|
||
|
Contributions are welcome, either by [reporting issues](https://github.com/marzer/tomlplusplus/issues)
|
||
|
or submitting pull requests. If you wish to submit a PR, please be aware that:
|
||
|
- The single-header file `toml.hpp` is generated by a script; make your changes in the files in
|
||
|
`include`, **not** in `toml.hpp`.
|
||
|
- Your changes should compile warning-free on at least gcc 8.3.0, clang 8.0, and MSVC 19.2X
|
||
|
(Visual Studio 2019).
|
||
|
- You should regenerate the single-header file as part of your PR (a CI check will fail if you don't).
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Regenerating toml.hpp
|
||
|
1. Make your changes as necessary
|
||
|
2. If you've added a new header file that isn't going to be transitively included by one of the
|
||
|
others, add an include directive to `include/toml++/toml.h`
|
||
|
3. Run `python/generate_single_header.py`
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Building and testing
|
||
|
Testing is done using [catch2], included in the respository as a submodule under `tests/catch2`.
|
||
|
The first time you want to begin testing you'll need to ensure submodules have been fetched:
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
git submodule update --init --recursive
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Windows
|
||
|
|
||
|
Install [Visual Studio 2019] and [Test Adapter for Catch2], then open `vs/toml++.sln` and build the
|
||
|
projects in the `tests` solution folder. Visual Studio's Test Explorer should pick these up and
|
||
|
allow you to run the tests directly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If test discovery fails, you can usually fix it by clicking enabling
|
||
|
`Auto Detect runsettings Files` (settings gear icon > `Configure Run Settings`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Linux
|
||
|
Install [meson] and [ninja] if necessary, then test with both gcc and clang:
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
CXX=g++ meson build-gcc
|
||
|
CXX=clang++ meson build-clang
|
||
|
cd build-gcc
|
||
|
ninja && ninja test
|
||
|
cd ../build-clang
|
||
|
ninja && ninja test
|
||
|
```
