SelvaBase | Utilities for developing software in C

This repository contains utilities for developing well-structured and reusable software modules in C. It includes the following parts:

• Allocation Utilities
• JSON Package
• Module-oriented Builder
• Module-oriented Logger

Allocation Utilities

The allocators provide a genericized interface to allocators employing multiple different allocation strategies. The current supported types of allocators are:

• Arena
• C standard library malloc()-wrapper
• Freelist interposer
• Pool

The freelist interposer keeps a list of the backing allocator, most of the time a malloc-wrapper, and can free all of the allocations at the end of the specific part in the program at once.

Builder

The builder is a collection of Python scripts that manage dependency fetching, calling a compiler and packaging the software (generally: linking to a native executable).

While it may leave a lot of performance on the table, it is very easy to use and can be enhanced without heavy modifications to the core; the builder is modular.

JSON Package

The JSON package allows reading and writing JSON files. The writer is in a work-in-progress state and shouldn't be used.
