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.
