Call c++ functions from a shell with any arguments of any types parsed automatically

Declare a variable or define a function and register it in shpp with a simple command. Your function will be available to be called by a shell that parses the arguments automatically to the types of the arguments of your function.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/GrossoMoreira/shpp
cd shpp
make
bin/example

• list available functions, including their return type and parameter types
• call functions with any number of arguments of any primitive types or stl-like non-associative containers
• read and write variables (const/read-only variables supported)
• when a function is called, output its return value (of any supported type)
• interactive and non interactive mode
• auto-complete
• command history
• reverse search
• sourcing commands from files

#include "shpp/shpp.h"

shpp::service svc;	// create a service

svc.provide("function_name", function_ptr);
svc.provide("variable_name", variable_ref);

shpp::shell sh(svc);	// create a shell for this service
sh.start();			// start shell

• primitive types
• stl-like non-associative containers (std::vector, std::list...) that implement the push_back() method, parsed/serialized as JSON objects
• containers of containers

Sample std::vector<std::list<int>> :

[[0,2,4],[1,3,5],[]]

..can be used as a function parameter or return type.

• GNU readline

• support arguments of user-defined types
• support asynchronous execution of commands
• call functions remotely
