[Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of Smaller S-Expression Library |
Date: |
Thu, 14 Feb 2002 12:02:20 -0500 |
A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Matthew Sottile <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: Smaller S-Expression Library
System name: sexpression
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project
This project allows basic manipulation of symbolic expressions
(s-expressions) from within C programs. It is a library of functions for
parsing strings into s-expressions, and converting back, allowing the
expressions to be manipulated as linked structures instead of messy C string
manipulation. The goal was minimal overhead for parsing, eliminating features
that were unnecessary (as we found many s-expression libraries have), and
keeping performance in mind at all times.
This library forms the basis of the data protocol in supermon, a high-speed
cluster monitoring program from the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Both the
library and supermon are open source, and the library is GPL\\\'d.
A distribution web site does NOT currently exist for this project. After
reviewing the possibilities (sourceforge, bitkeeper, and savannah), this site
seemed appropriate.
