Tanya
Tanya is a general purpose library for D programming language.
Its aim is to simplify the manual memory management in D and to provide a guarantee with @nogc attribute that there are no hidden allocations on the Garbage Collector heap. Everything in the library is usable in @nogc code. Tanya extends Phobos functionality and provides alternative implementations for data structures and utilities that depend on the Garbage Collector in Phobos.
Overview
Tanya consists of the following packages:
async: Event loop (epoll, kqueue and IOCP).container: Queue, Vector, Singly linked list, buffers.math: Arbitrary precision integer and a set of functions.memory: Tools for manual memory management (allocator, reference counting, helper functions).network: URL-Parsing, sockets.
Supported compilers
- dmd 2.073.0
- dmd 2.072.2
- dmd 2.071.2
- dmd 2.070.2
Current status
The library is currently under development, but the API is becoming gradually stable.
containers are being extended to support ranges. Also following modules are
coming soon:
- UTF-8 string.
- Hash table.
math package contains an arbitrary precision integer implementation that
needs more test cases, better performance and some additional features
(constructing from a string and an ubyte array, and converting it back).
Further characteristics
-
Tanya is a native D library.
-
Documentation and usage examples can be found in the source code. Online documentation will be published soon.
-
Tanya is cross-platform. The development happens on a 64-bit Linux, but it is being tested on Windows and FreeBSD as well.
-
The library isn't thread-safe. Thread-safity should be added later.
Contributing
Since I'm mostly busy writing new code and implementing new features I would appreciate, if anyone uses the library. It would help me to improve the codebase and fix issues.
