What is this?

Big ol' CFFI based library for anything cross platform.

Why does this exist?

The library is meant to be cross-platform, and fairly safe (any function that can fail will return an error code indicating if it has or hasn't) while having a plethora of features and functionality. The goal is to have one API for any platform, any language, and any use case.

Where can it be used?

The core module can be used ANYWHERE. It doesn't rely on ANY other libraries, including standard libraries. The std module will work on most platforms and has been tested to build for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Module overview:

• nstd: Everything NSTD.
  • core: Modules that don't rely on any other libraries.
    • arch
    • char_types
    • def
    • float_types
    • int_types
    • mem

    • time

How to build:

Single binary:

cargo build --release --features "" Where after "--features", inside the quotation marks, you would list each module seperated by spaces and prefixed with "nstd". nstdcore is built by default.

Example: cargo build --release --features "nstd_collections nstd_io nstd_thread" Alternatively you can also use cargo build --release --all-features to build with all modules.

Individual binaries:

python3 build.py build --release This will place each binary into the module's "target/release" directory, so in "src/std/alloc/target/release" you would find the "nstdalloc.[dll|so]" and "nstdalloc.[lib|a]" files.
