Bitsery v4.6.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-03-12 // about 5 years ago

  • 🔋 Features

    • new extensions StdTuple and StdVariant for std::tuple and std::variant. These are the first extensions that requires C++17, or higher, standard enabled. Although std::tuple is C++11 type, but from usage perspective it has exactly the same requirements as std::variant and relies heavily on having class template argument deduction guides to make it convenient to use. You can easily use std::tuple without any extension at all, so the main motivation was to create convenient interface for StdVariant and use the same interface for StdTuple as well.
      • instead of providing custom lambda to overload each type in tuple or variant, there was added several helper callable objects. OverloadValue wrapper around s.value<N>(o), OverloadExtValue wrapper around s.ext<N>(o, Ext{}) and OverloadExtObject wrapper around s.ext(o, Ext{}).
    • new extensions StdDuration and StdTimePoint for std::chrono::duration and std::chrono::time_point.

    👌 Improvements

    tests now uses gtest_discover_tests function, to automatically discover tests, which requires CMake 3.10.
