IntervalTimer and TimeoutTimer use RAII, and can be used to replace
all the time-based timeouts, lag-detection, "execute every N" we
have.
As it uses RAII, you can safely use it as static variable, class
member, temporary variable, etc. As soon as it goes out-of-scope,
it will be safely removed.
This allows for much easier to read code when it comes to intervals.
This is using a non-intrusive type-traits like templated system, which
allows compile-time validation that the command table and the command
enum match up.
Functions like localtime, gmtime and asctime are not thread safe as they (might) reuse the same buffer. So use the safer _s/_r variant for localtime and gmtime, and use strftime in favour of asctime.
CMake works on all our supported platforms, like MSVC, Mingw, GCC,
Clang, and many more. It allows for a single way of doing things,
so no longer we need shell scripts and vbs scripts to work on all
our supported platforms.
Additionally, CMake allows to generate project files for like MSVC,
KDevelop, etc.
This heavily reduces the lines of code we need to support multiple
platforms from a project perspective.
Addtiionally, this heavily improves our detection of libraries, etc.
