Cross-platform public domain foundation library in C providing basic support data types and functions to write applications and games in a platform-independent fashion.
This library provides a cross-platform foundation library in C providing basic support data types and
functions to write applications and games in a platform-independent fashion. It provides:
Abstractions and unification of basic data types
Pluggable memory management
Threads and synchronization
Atomic operations
Timing and profiling
Object lifetime management
Events processing
File system access
Dynamic library loading
Process spawning
Logging, error reporting and asserts
String handling in UTF-8 and UTF-16
Murmur hasing and statically hashed strings
Math support for 32 and 64 bit floats
JSON/SJSON parser
SHA256/SHA512 digest
Application, environment and system queries and control
Regular expressions
Exception utilities (SEH, signals)
It is written with the following API design principles in mind:
Consistent. All functions, parameters and types should follow a well defined pattern in order to make it easy to remember how function names are constructed and how to pass the expected parameters.
Orthogonal. A function should not have any side effects, and there should be only one way to perform an operation in the system.
Specialized. A function in an API should perform a single task. Functions should not do completely different unrelated tasks or change behaviour depending on the contents of the variables passed in.
Compact. The API needs to be compact, meaning the user can use it without using a manual. Note though that "compact" does not mean "small". A consistent naming scheme makes the API easier to use and remember.
Contained. Third party dependencies are kept to an absolute minimum and prefer to use primitive or well-defined data types.
