Base

Overview

Provides the XCCMETA_API macro for shared library symbol visibility and common includes used across all modules.

Why Use This?

You don’t include this directly. It’s the foundation header that all other modules depend on. It centralizes platform-specific DLL export/import logic and ensures consistent STL types across the library.

Types

Type	Description
XCCMETA_API	Macro for DLL export/import (empty for static builds)

Macros

XCCMETA_API

Platform-specific symbol visibility macro.

Behavior:

• Static build (default): expands to nothing
• Shared build, building library (XCCMETA_EXPORTS defined): __declspec(dllexport) on Windows, __attribute__((visibility("default"))) on GCC/Clang
• Shared build, consuming library: __declspec(dllimport) on Windows

Notes: Do not include this header directly. Use #include <xccmeta.hpp> or include specific module headers.

Common Includes

This header pulls in the following STL headers for all modules:

• <cstdint>
• <memory>
• <optional>
• <string>
• <vector>
