'liberty' is a pseudolibrary of all the common C code I have written for various
|
2015-03-29 01:55:10 +01:00
|
|
|
projects. I used to copy-paste large swaths of code with minimal changes to it
|
|
|
|
|
and it slowly became awfully painful to synchronize. The project can be thought
|
|
|
|
|
of as a successor to my other C library, libxtnd.

You are supposed to import it as a git submodule and include the main source
|
|
|
|
|
file directly everywhere you need it. Everything is declared "static". I have
|
|
|
|
|
come to the conclusion that this style of C programming suits me the best, as it
|
|
|
|
|
allows me to nearly forget about the mess that are header files.

The API is intentionally unstable, which allows for easy refactoring.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All development is done on Linux, but other POSIX-compatible operating systems
|
|
|
|
|
should be supported as well. They have an extremely low priority, however, and

|
|
I'm not testing them at all, with the exception of OpenBSD.

This project also hosts a number of supporting scripts written in portable AWK:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
asciiman.awk::
|
|
|
|
|
A fallback manual page generator for AsciiDoc documents,
|
|
|
|
|
motivated by the hugeness of AsciiDoc's and Asciidoctor's dependency trees.
|
|
|
|
|
It uses the _man_ macro package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cmake-parser.awk::
|
|
|
|
|
Parses the CMake language to the extent that is necessary to reliably
|
|
|
|
|
extract project versions. Its greatest limitation is its inability
|
|
|
|
|
to expand variables, which would require a full interpreter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cmake-dump.awk::
|
|
|
|
|
This can be used in conjunction with the previous script to dump CMake
|
|
|
|
|
scripts in a normalized format for further processing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lxdrgen.awk::
|
|
|
|
|
Protocol code generator for a variant of XDR,
|
|
|
|
|
which is link:libertyxdr.adoc[documented separately].
|
|
|
|
|
Successfully employed in https://git.janouch.name/p/xK[xK].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lxdrgen-c.awk::
|
|
|
|
|
LibertyXDR backend that builds on top of the C pseudolibrary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lxdrgen-go.awk::
|
|
|
|
|
LibertyXDR backend for Go, supporting _encoding/json_ interfaces. It also
|
|
|
|
|
produces optimized JSON marshallers (however, note that the _json.Marshaler_
|
|
|
|
|
interface is bound to be underperforming, due to the amount of otherwise
|
|
|
|
|
avoidable memory allocations it necessitates).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lxdrgen-mjs.awk::
|
|
|
|
|
LibertyXDR backend for Javascript, currently for decoding only.
|
|
|
|
|
It cuts a corner by not using BigInts, on par with `JSON.parse()`.
