Dev:ETL replacement
From Synfig Studio :: Documentation
At least the majority of the functionality implemented in the ETL is already implemented in the boost libraries, which have a very high quality, are broadly used, peer-reviewed and well tested. This effort is to replace the ETL with boost libraries, achieving simplified code with a more robust base.
The replacement will be done in the following order:
- command-line interface (ONGOING)
- synfig modules
- synfig library
- synfig studio library
- synfig studio
Along the way I can most probably simplify/improve some stuff and make synfig's code cleaner.

Here is a list of functions of the ETL and their replacement:
| ETL | Boost equivalent |
|---|---|
| etl::filename_extension | boost::filesystem::path::extension() |
| etl::filename_sans_extension | boost::filesystem::path: combination of parent_path(), stem() and extension() |
| etl::basename | boost::filesystem::path: combination of stem() and extension() |
| etl::dirname | boost::filesystem::path::parent_path() |
| etl::clock | boost::chrono::system_clock or high_resolution_clock |
| etl::strprintf | boost::format() |
