Sycontainer

C Library for a heterogenous data-structure container that can hold multiple types of data.

In cases where one needs to write data-structures where heterogenous data needs to be saved, one can use this data-structure to implement the heterogenity of the data-structure by using the abstractions that implement it, and focus on writing the data-structures more.

Usage

Check out USAGE.

Installation on all distributions (build from source)

Select RPM-based distributions (Fedora, OpenSUSE, Mageia, CentOS Stream) have repositories which one can use to install the library. Check here

Make sure to install GCC, Meson and Ninja on your system before starting.

Ubuntu and other Debian-based Distributions

sudo apt update && sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config meson ninja -y

Fedora and RHEL-based distributions (for building from source)

sudo dnf install "@C Development Tools and Libraries" meson ninja-build -y

Arch-linux and derivaties

sudo pacman -S base-devel meson ninja

Installing the sycontainer library

1. Download the latest release from the releases tab from the right pane, and download the source file from a ZIP file you prefer.
2. Extract the directory.
3. Open a terminal window in the directory and run the following command.

   ./install.sh
   

Make sure to NOT remove this directory, nor the generated _build directory inside it after installation. This directory is required to uninstall library from your system.

If you want to keep your downloads directory clean, extract the archive to somewhere where it's more organized and repeat Step 3 (above) inside it.
