The Guidelines Support Library (GSL) contains functions and types that are suggested for use by the C++ Core Guidelines maintained by the Standard C++ Foundation. This repo contains Microsoft's implementation of GSL. The entire implementation is provided inline in the headers under the gsl directory. The implementation generally assumes a platform that implements C++14 support. While some types have been broken out into their own headers (e.g. gsl/span), it is simplest to just include gsl/gsl and gain access to the entire library. This project makes use of the Google Test testing library. Please see the ThirdPartyNotices.txt file for details regarding the licensing of Google Test.

Features

  • The GSL port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors
  • You can download and install GSL using the vcpkg dependency manager
  • Requires CMake
  • Configure CMake to use the compiler of your choice
  • Build the test suite
  • As the types are entirely implemented inline in headers, there are no linking requirements
