Feature detection (of library features) is done through the C++20 standardized feature detection macros.

When using C++14 this library requires the Guidlines Support Library (GSL) gsl::span and gsl::byte.

When using C++17, std::byte is automatically used and only gsl::span is required.

For C++20 std::span and std::byte are both automatically used.

To use, either install system-wide (cmake; make; make install) or include into your project as a subdirectory.

To 'link' for your targets that use it:

target_link_libraries(<your target> e6l::serial)

If installed outside your project:

find_package(e6l.serial)

If 'installed' as a subdirectory:

add_subdirectory(path/to/e6.serial)

Read the comment(s) in the header (e6l/serial.hpp) for usage, or see the unit tests in test/.

Building the tests requires Catch2, and is enabled with -DENABLE_TEST=ON.
