wreport is a C++ library for working with weather reports.

wreport is a powerful decoder and encoder for the BUFR and CREX formats.

It also provides a useful abstraction to handle values found in weather reports, with awareness of significant digits, measurement units, variable descriptions, unit conversion and attributes on variables.

Features provided:

• Read and write BUFR version 2, 3, and 4
• Read and write CREX
• Unit conversion
• Handling of physical variables

C++ and Python API documentation.

wreport is already packaged in both .rpm and .deb formats, and that provides easy installation for most Linux distributions.

For CentOS and Fedora, rpm files are hosted in a copr repo: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/simc/stable/

For Debian, wreport is available in the testing distribution: https://packages.debian.org/testing/libwreport3

Using docker images with wreport preinstalled is also possible:

docker run -it arpaesimc/fedora:36 /bin/bash
docker run -it arpaesimc/centos:8 /bin/bash

If you want to build and install wreport yourself, you'll need to install Meson and run the following commands:

meson setup builddir && cd builddir
meson compile
meson test
meson install

For more details about Meson see the official documentation https://mesonbuild.com/.

If you want to build the package yourself:

• rpm: the packaging files are in fedora directory of the master branch.
• deb: the packaging files are in the debian branches (e.g. debian/sid, ubuntu/jammy, etc.)

To run wreport using American Fuzzy Lop:

CXX=/usr/bin/afl-g++ meson --default-library=static builddir && cd builddir
AFL_HARDEN=1 meson compile
afl-cmin  -i testdata/bufr/ -o afl-bufr -- src/afl-test @@
afl-fuzz -t 100 -i afl-bufr -o afl-bufr-out src/afl-test @@
