liberty
=======
'liberty' is a pseudolibrary of all the common C code I have written for various
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.
Tools
-----
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()`.
