scsl : The Shimmering Clarity Standard C++ Library

scsl is a collection of software I found myself needing to use repeatedly.

Full Doxygen documentation is available.

Introduction

This is a collection of C++ code that I find useful in building things. It arose from two main use cases.

The modem

On the one hand, I was building a wireless modem for some Z80 computers I have. I needed to be able to store a phonebook of SSIDs and WPA keys, as well as short names to host:port descriptors. I had a limited amount of persistent NVRAM storage and no SD card or other removeable media, so typical desktop-oriented serialization mechanisms weren't going to really work well. Furthermore, when working with microcontrollers, I prefer not to dynamically allocate memory as much as possible. This led to building out Arena, TLV::Record to store the records, and finally Dictionary to make use of both of them.

Closely related to this, I've been working on building an ARM-based handheld computer, for which I would also need a memory arena.

The text editors

Some time ago, I wrote a console text editor of my own; then later, started working on a graphical editor. For this, I needed some data structures to manage memory in the editor. Thus, Buffer was born.

Finally

I'd been writing Go professionally for a while, but C was my first love. I recently started a job that is mostly in C++, and the best way for me to learn is to build a bunch of stuff with it. So, I took a bunch of micro- controller stuff I'd been writing and started building out some other stuff.
