Genex

A header-only generationally indexed container library

Motivation

Generationally indexed containers are a cache-friendly way of storing objects that are weakly referenced throughout your program. It may be part of an ECS as described during this talk.

Inspirations

• The aforementionned talk
• Slotmap but with C++'s perfect-forwarding

Documentation

The test cases are the perfect user-friendly documentation. For single element creation and access you may look at this file and for iterations you may look at this one.

Installation (Work in progress)

Copy-paste the content of the include folder where you want to use this library.

Testing

cmake .
make check

Missing Features

Loosely ordered by priority:

• Clean installation and use as a CMake module
• Actual documentation
• Testing for weird types (non-copyabe, non-movable, ...)
