KalaHeaders

Header-only scripts made in C++ 20, great for general use. They don't depend on each other and can be used for any c++ projects.

api.hpp

Macros and cross platform import/export

• macros for __declspec/attribute/__stdcall for windows/linux api
• inline macros for forceinline and noinline
• deprecated macro
• debug assert macro (assertions are compiled out completely in release)

core_types.hpp

Shorthands for math variables and overrideable cross-platform templates for converting between uintptr_t and pointers/integrals/enums

Shorthands

Alias	Underlying type	Size (bits)	Range / Notes
sst	SSIZE_T (Win32) / ssize_t (POSIX)	64	Signed size type (≈ –9e18 to +9e18)
st	size_t	64	Unsigned size type (0 to ~1.8e19)
u8	uint8_t	8	0 to 255
u16	uint16_t	16	0 to 65,535
u32	uint32_t	32	0 to 4,294,967,295
u64	uint64_t	64	0 to ~1.8e19 (also useful for handles/pointers)
i8	int8_t	8	–128 to 127
i16	int16_t	16	–32,768 to 32,767
i32	int32_t	32	–2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
i64	int64_t	64	–9e18 to +9e18
f32	float	32	~6 decimal digits precision
f64	double	64	~15 decimal digits precision

Templates

Function	Converts from → to	Constraint	Typical use cases
ToVar<T>(uintptr_t h)	uintptr_t → pointer T	is_pointer_v<T>	Reinterpret raw handle as a pointer (structs, classes, arrays, funcs)
ToVar<T>(uintptr_t h)	uintptr_t → integral T	is_integral_v<T>	Reinterpret raw handle as int/flag/opaque handle
ToVar<T>(uintptr_t h)	uintptr_t → enum T	is_enum_v<T>	Reinterpret raw handle as enum/enum flags/API handle
FromVar<T>(T* h)	pointer T* → uintptr_t	—	Turn a pointer into a numeric handle (safe storage, hashing, serialization)
FromVar<T>(T h)	integral T → uintptr_t	is_integral_v<T>	Turn an int/flag into a raw handle value
FromVar<T>(T h)	enum T → uintptr_t	is_enum_v<T>	Turn an enum/enum flag into a raw handle value

logging.hpp

Comprehensive logger header for any logging needs - sends cout, cerr and clog messages to your console.

• can get current system time and date, formatted to chosen TimeFormat or DateFormat enum choice
• can set default time and date format so that TIME_DEFAULT and DATE_DEFAULT always use them with full Print function
• has full and basic Print functions

Full and basic Print function differences

Feature	Print(message, target, type, ...)	Print(message)
Parameters	Message + target + log type (+opts)	Message only
Log types	Supports INFO, DEBUG, SUCCESS, WARNING, ERROR	Not supported (always cout)
Target handling	Yes (with truncation checks)	No
Time/Date stamp	Yes (configurable)	No
Output stream	Varies by type (cout/clog/cerr)	Always cout
Truncation checks	Message + target length	Message length only
Typical usage	Detailed, tagged log for debugging/monitoring	Quick, simple console output

Available time format types

Enum Value	Description	Example
TIME_NONE	No time printed	(empty)
TIME_DEFAULT	Globally defined default format	depends
TIME_HMS	Hours:Minutes:Seconds	23:59:59
TIME_HMS_MS	Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Milliseconds	23:59:59:123
TIME_12H	12-hour clock with AM/PM	11:59:59 PM
TIME_ISO_8601	ISO 8601 UTC-style	23:59:59Z
TIME_FILENAME	Filename-safe (no colons)	23-59-59
TIME_FILENAME_MS	Filename-safe with milliseconds	23-59-59-123

Available date format types

Enum Value	Description	Example
DATE_NONE	No date printed	(empty)
DATE_DEFAULT	Globally defined default format	depends
DATE_DMY	Day/Month/Year	31/12/2025
DATE_MDY	Month/Day/Year	12/31/2025
DATE_ISO_8601	ISO 8601	2025-12-31
DATE_TEXT_DMY	Day Month, Year	31 December, 2025
DATE_TEXT_MDY	Month Day, Year	December 31, 2025
DATE_FILENAME_DMY	Filename-safe (day-month-year)	31-12-2025
DATE_FILENAME_MDY	Filename-safe (month-day-year)	12-31-2025
