static_vector

Toy project actually generated by ChatGPT

This is what I asked ChatGPT

• Create a c++17 template similar to std::vector with a maximum capacity specified in a template argument
• add more features and error handling to match the full functionality and robustness of std::vector
• Add iterators to make it work with for range loops
• regenerate with all code
• rename to static_vector and add move constructor and move assignment that works with smaller or equal capacity and size, or throw.
• Regenerate with snake_case template name, like in the standard library

compilation of a simple example

g++ main.cpp -std=c++17 -Wall -pedantic -Wextra -Wfatal-errors -Wconversion -Wshadow -Wunreachable-code -O2 -o test.out

execution

./test.out

#output 4 5

Installing google test (linux Ubuntu)

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install libgtest-dev
cd /usr/src/googletest/googletest
sudo cmake CMakeLists.txt
sudo make
sudo cp lib/*.a /usr/lib

compilation of unit test

g++ unitTest.cpp -std=c++17 -Wall -pedantic -Wextra -Wfatal-errors -Wconversion -Wshadow -Wunreachable-code -lgtest -lgtest_main -O2 -o unitTest.out

running unitTests

./unitTest.out
