HISTORY
This is a fork of the original Corvid library, which was written for C++17. It was initially called Corvid20, but the number has been removed because now it just tracks the current version of the language.
Rather than porting the C++17 version in place, it made more sense to make a new project and move code over, bit by bit, cleaning and upgrading it as I went. This approach enabled me to switch from MSVC to clang, which has resulted in more-compliant code, and to use GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT to help with the more tedious parts of the process. I also got rid of Google Test, simplifying things with a tiny built-in framework. Although it's intended for libcxx, it works with libstdcpp so as to support the build env of ChatGPT Codex.
CONTENTS
The entirety of the Corvid library is in the corvid subdirectory, as headers you include into your own project. Everything else here, such as unit tests and various configuration settings, is just for my convenience in developing the library and is not properly a part of it. You're free to use it under the same license, though.
EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES
LLVM suite: For clang, clang-format, and lldb. https://releases.llvm.org/download.html
CMake: For batch build files. https://cmake.org/download/
Run ./cleanbuild.sh to build the tests. Pass tidy as an optional
argument to enable clang-tidy analysis during the build. You can also
specify libstdcpp or libcxx as the first argument to choose the
standard library implementation.
