astr, compile-time array string

An (opinionated) compile-time string processing library for C++20 and above.

If wanted, the code can easily be adapted to C++17. Feel free to open an issue if you need help with that.

There are two use-cases demonstrating what this can be used for.

Getting short file names as compile time strings

Reproducible and fix size 'strings' for the __FILE__ name at compile time.

The code is related to the blog post 'Compile time string literals processing, but why', which describes some more details about this feature.

Getting type names as compile time strings

There are many ways of faking reflections in C++ to get a typename, and there are several more or less famouse library solutions around this.

The code here shows how that actually works, without being a fully fletched 'library'.

There is also enough functionality to get the type name as a compile-time string and doing customizations that this can be used to solve some real world use cases.

Documentation

For now, please have a look at the files in the testing directory.

They should be easy to understand and show how to use the code.
