The Simple Lightweight Cross-Platform Layer library or 'SLCL' provides a minimal interface for os-dependent tasks in C/C++. The goal of SLCL is to make common, and simple tasks that are os-dependent a little easier in C/C++. For example, a basic AF_INET stream socket tcp setup already written for either *nix based machines or windows could be make cross platform using SLCL, largely by prepending the 'slcl' prefix to function calls, and ammending some details.
e.g:
#include <sys/socket.h>
int sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);#include "SLCL/Network.h"
struct slclSock* sock = slclOpenSock( SLCL_AF_INET, SLCL_SOCK_STREAM, 0 );Currently, SLCL has abstractions for the following tasks
- Sockets
- Signals
- Dynamic Libraries
- Os-dependent error messages
- Memory and file mapping
maybe coming soon
- ioctl
CmakeLists are included.
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
makeThe CmakeLists are by default setup to produce a static library called libSLCL.a
