This is a malloc-free implementation of the Concise Binary Object
Representation (CBOR) data format for the RIOT-OS.
This implementation mostly stand-alone, and it should be pretty easy to
port to other platforms. We're only using the C STL and some custom
network-related functionaliy which could be easily replaced by depending
on arpa/inet.h.
The CBOR API is straight-forward to use and provides encoding/decoding
functionality for all major C types, such as:
- int
- uint64_t
- int64_t
- float
- double
- char*
- struct tm
- time_t
It is possible to conditionally compile this module via CFLAGS:
- CBOR_NO_SEMANTIC_TAGGING: All semantic-tagging features removed
- CBOR_NO_CTIME: All ctime related features removed
- CBOR_NO_FLOAT: All floating-point related features removed
- CBOR_NO_PRINT: All features depending on printf removed
This change removes the need to patch the main.c if you add or remove a
test suite. A test suite in `tests/unittests/tests-XXX` needs to export
the function `void tests_XXX(void)`, which gets called by `main()`.
The `tests-XXX/Makefile` looks like your average module:
```
MODULE = tests-XXX
include $(RIOTBASE)/Makefile.base
```
Unittests for e.g. different libraries can be put into
`tests/unittests/tests-XXX`, where `XXX` is your test suite.
If `unittests` is made with `make all` (or any explicit argument), then
all test suites get built. If you use `make tests-XXX tests-YYY …` then
only the test suites `XXX` and `YYY` get built.
