This is a library to access Binary Log File (BLF) files from Vector Informatik.

Building under Linux works as usual:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install DESTDIR=..
make package

Building under Windows contains the following steps:

• Use cmake-gui
• Set "Where is the source code:" to the root directory.
• Set "Where to build the binaries:" to folder "build" below the root directory.
• Configure and Generate
• Open the Visual Studio Solution (.sln) file in the build folder.
• Compile it in Release Configuration.

• Configure cmake option OPTION_BUILD_TESTS
• Use ctest to run unit tests

Further options allow to activate coverage and reports:

• OPTION_USE_GCOV to build with coverage flags
• OPTION_ADD_LCOV to add lcov targets to generate HTML coverage report

The package generation can be triggered using

make package

The following files are part of the source code distribution:

• src/project/
• src/project/tests/

The following files are working directories for building and testing:

• build/project/

The following files are products of installation and building:

• bin/
• lib/
• share/doc/project/
• share/man/
• include/project/

• File Append
• There is currently no transition between little/big endian. Current support is only for little endian machines.
• There should be setter/getter methods instead of direct member variable access. Also for bit settings. Use std::chrono for all times
• All pointers should be of type std::unique_ptr to make ownership clear.
• Plausibility checks for length fields. Check all length and version fields of compliance with original files.
• Propagate exceptions from threads to main library, to notify user application, e.g. when reading unfinished files.
• Provide an Unknown object type to be able to read just a blob for all yet unknown object types
• Rename constants in form of ABC_XYZ to AbcXyz to be conform with coding standard. Breaks compatibility.
• Provide getter/setter for AppText::reservedAppText1
• Provide getter/setter for EnvironmentVariable::objectType (ENV_INTEGER, ENV_DOUBLE, ENV_STRING, ENV_DATA)
• Provide getter/setter for J1708Message::objectType (J1708_MESSAGE, J1708_VIRTUAL_MSG)
• Replace CompressedFile with std::fstream. Replace UncompressedFile with std::iostream with custom std::streambuf. Drop AbstractFile and use std::iostream instead.
• Jenkinsfile

• Implementation is compatible with binlog API version 7.1.0.

• events_from_converter/*.blf have been converted from asc files using original converter under Windows. binlog API version was 3.9.6.0.
• events_from_binlog/*.blf have been generated using the binlog library under Windows. binlog API version was 4.5.2.2.
