# ESP-Brookesia Library Utils

## Overview

`brookesia_lib_utils` is the core utility library of the ESP-Brookesia framework, providing a comprehensive set of practical tools including `task scheduler`, `thread configuration`, `performance profilers`, `logging system`, `state machine`, `plugin system`, and various `helper utilities`.

## Features

- **Task Scheduler**: An asynchronous task scheduling system based on Boost.Asio, supporting multi-threaded task management, including immediate, delayed, and periodic tasks.
- **Thread Configuration**: RAII-style thread configuration management, supporting thread naming, priority setting, stack size and location configuration, CPU core binding, and more.
- **Profilers**:
  - Memory Profiler: Monitors and analyzes memory usage, supporting automatic threshold detection and signal sending.
  - Thread Profiler: Monitors thread status and performance, supporting automatic threshold detection and signal sending.
  - Time Profiler: Measures code execution time and performance bottlenecks
- **Logging System**: Supports both ESP_LOG and standard printf output, and allows output formatting with boost::format.
- **State Machine**: Provides base classes and implementations for state machines, making it easy to manage complex state transitions.
- **Plugin System**: Enables a modular development plugin mechanism.
- **Helpers**:
  - Check Macros: Provides macros for checking false, nullptr, exceptions, and value ranges, as well as supporting custom error handling code blocks.
  - Function Guard: Provides RAII-style function call guards to help manage function call order and resource releasing.
  - Object Description Tools: Uses static reflection to provide object description, supporting serialization and deserialization of enums, structs, JSON, and certain standard types (string, integer, float, boolean, pointer, array, containers, etc.).
