## Gears
[](https://travis-ci.org/Rapptz/Gears)
Gears is a header-only library that offers utilities for C++11 programmers. It is a more enhanced remake of
the [original library][orig] hosted at Bitbucket. The [issue tracker][issues] will be used to keep track of things
I plan to remake until I'm satisfied initially. Documentation can be found [here][docs]
## Compiling Tests
The tests obviously require compilation. Although not required to be built, it's a good idea to compile them anyway to
see if the compiler can build gears. In order to compile gears, [ninja][ninja] is required.
Python is used to generate the ninja file so just invoke:
./bootstrap.py --cxx=g++ && ninja
## Single Headers
Sometimes a single header is a bit more helpful to have than a tightly coupled library directory. This makes dependency
handling a lot easier to work with since you'd only need a single file to include and you'd be good to go. A python script
has been provided for convenience to perform this exact use-case. In order to generate a single header file of a module just
invoke it with the following:
```
./single.py io
```
This would generate the entire io module and all its dependencies into a single file for ease of use. You can see more
options with `./single.py --help`.
## Compiler Support
Currently Gears targets compilers that have good support of C++11 features, at the moment these include Clang 3.4 and GCC 4.8
or higher. Visual Studio 2013 could have worked in theory but it isn't technically supported and any bugs are a side effect.
No extraneous libraries are required to use Gears, only the standard library.
