Heterogeneous Algorithm Library (HAL)

HAL provides algorithms operating over parameter packs and other static, heterogeneous data structures.

auto print = [](auto x){ std::cout << x; };
hal::for_each(print, 5, "hello", 5.2, 'a', Foo{});

Each algorithm can have its non-parameter pack arguments partially applied.

The top-level namespace is hal::. The hal::reverse:: namespace contains algorithms that work on elements from the last to the first element.

Namespaces hal::memberwise:: and hal::reverse::memberwise:: contain the same algorithms, but operating over the members of structs, tuples, and arrays. These take a single aggregate type argument instead of a parameter pack.

struct Foo {
    int    a = 34;
    char   b = '#';  // 35
    double c = 7.432;
} f;

hal::memberwise::partial_sum(f);

// Partial sum is a modifying algorithm.
assert(f.a == 34);
assert(f.b == 'E');
assert(f.c == 76.432);

More information on structs and tuples can be found here.

If a function is listed as a modifying algorithm, it will make assignments to the passed in parameters.

All functions are constexpr if called with constexpr parameters.

Build

This is a single header-only library, include/hal.hpp includes everything needed. If using CMake, a hal target is created that will add the proper include path.

#include <hal.hpp>

The tests can be built with make hal-tests after running cmake.
