Write binary files fast, without boilerplate
https://github.com/decodeless/mappedfile is a cross platform memory mapping library. The standout feature is resizable mapped files: reserve virtual address space and grow into it as needed
Recent new features:
- Faster resizing on Windows
- Manual .sync() to flush when needed
- Releases pages when shrinking resizable_memory
GDB pretty printers are coming to offset_ptr 馃槏:
https://github.com/decodeless/offset_ptr/pull/6
No more fumbling in the dark when hovering over variables in a debugger on Linux. It just looks like a regular pointer.
It nearly just works out of the box. The only setup is setting auto-load safe-path so the printer will run. The secret is embedding the script in debug sections.
There's a quick write up here:

I gave the code its own account, @libdecodeless, and a quickly written intro at https://heuristic42.com/blog/62
Ever wanted to quickly read/write files but found fstream/fopen combersome?
I made a thing: https://github.com/decodeless
- Write to a memory mapped file instead
- Binary data, no serialization
- Growable mapped file
- Pointers remain valid while writing
