libMmkFormat

MaulingMonKey's Format Macros.

Currently just provides MMK_FORMAT_TRUNC(name, length, format, ...) shorthand with all the warnings turned up.

Example

#include <mmk/format.h> // MMK_FORMAT_TRUNC
#include <stdio.h>      // puts

int main() {
	const char* const name = "World";

	MMK_FORMAT_TRUNC(hello_world, 1024, "Hello, %s!", name);
	// Roughly equivalent to: char hello_world[1024] = "Hello, World!";

	puts(hello_world);
}

Installation

Add libMmkFormat to your project via nuget. Done!

Alternatively, clone and add libMmkFormat/include/ to your #include paths. There is currently no source/.lib/.dll/.a/.so component to worry about. There are no configuration options.

Compatability

Supported compilers:

• MSVC 2005+
• GCC 3.0+
• Clang

Requirements:

• Variadic macro support (via C99, C++11, or compiler extension)

Other compilers likely work, although they may not generate appropriate warnings.

TODO

• Public CI
• Support ICC
• 'nix friendly packaging?

Why?

• Proof of concept for publishing native nuget packages via my local build chain.
• Need a C-friendly, non-error-prone formatting shorthand option for all my impending debug library shenannigans.
• Josh Wittner says "Always be Shipped", which is even better than "Always be Shipping"
