Introduction

CppCore is my personal C++17 framework with focus on:

• High Performance
• Cross Platform Compatibility
• Easy Integration (almost header-only)

It was made for my own use but I am happy to share it with everyone.

Design Principles

1. Performance, Performance, Performance:
   The most important principle. This framework was design to be used in real-time critical applications such as games. If you find something that can be done faster, please let me know.
2. Fixed-Size Memory Pooling:
   This framework avoids using malloc() and free() (respectively new and delete) to allocate memory at runtime in favor of a fully compile-time specified memory layout. Almost all memory is allocated on startup and used until shutdown - faster, predictable and no undefined out-of-memory behaviour. Yes, there are always exclusions.
3. Virtual Function Pointers:
   OOB programming is great but its disadvantages are often forgotten. No, you won't find things like tiny vector classes blown up in size due to a VFPTR with horribly slow non-inlined arithmetic function calls in this library.
4. Header-Only:
   Allows the compiler to efficiently inline all the framework code into your object files and therefore making integration much simpler and code executing faster. There are a few exclusions to this pattern due to platform limitations (e.g. Windows Message Processing Function)
5. Multithreading:
   This framework comes with its own multithreading patterns and uses multiple cores whenever possible/useful.

How-To

• CppCore is an almost header-only library. Just include the headers and build the CppCore.cpp with your project.
• Only examples and test executables can be built from this repository (see Build Notes for them).
