This project is built in JetBrains CLion and using Travis-CI. It adheres to modern C++-17 and builds with G++-7 CMake ctests.

Worth knowing in modern C++

1. Classes can be instantiated automatic or dynamic storage duration. Whenever possible use automatic storage duration! MyObject my_object{};
2. C++ allows pass by reference, this is preferable for object passing. void my_function(MyObject &my_object)
3. C/C++ header files must avoid circular dependencies and should not contain concrete implementations, this will cause linker errors.
