OBSOLETED BY

This project was obsoleted by the new Zig implementation. Code is smaller, simpler and safer to use. Packet format and API are a bit simpler, too.

libipc

libipc - Simple, easy-to-use IPC library

See the introductory man page in man/libipc.7.

See the presentation in docs/libipc.md.

Compilation

make

Since 0.7

libipc have callbacks to use along with switching capabilities, making easier to implement proxies for different communication protocols

Planning for 0.8

For performance improvements within libipc:

libipc will be rewritten in Zig -- DONE!
libipc shouldn't use realloc for each event (new client, new message, etc.) but by batch of a few thousand elements
libipc should use better internal structures, unrequiring the use of loops (over the whole list of messages or connections) for each action

Planning for 0.9

libipc should use epoll/kqueue for performance improvements
- new functions will be added to the API
- but we'll keep the same API for applications with no need for threading (way simpler implementation)
libipc should be thread-safe

Planning for 1.0

libipc should have usable bindings in several languages
