A partial implementation of glib's C API in C++.

C is a great programming language, but generally lacks a standard library of common dynamic data structures such as strings, lists, or maps with a native C API. The GNOME project's glib is a notable exception to this rule, and is pretty fantastic for developing C on Linux. However, it comes with its own dependencies and uses automake as build tool, making it annoying (though not impossible) to build and link on non-UNIX platforms such as Windows. This projects aims to alleviate this issue by providing a self-contained partial implementation of glib's C API implemented in C++ - thus the name fakeglib.

The requirements for fakeglib are:

• Self-contained: Must not depend on any thirdparty code.
• Cross-platform: Must build on at least Linux and Windows.
• Native development: Uses CMake to generate native build files for each supported platform.

fakeglib currently implements the following parts of glib's C API:

• Array (partial, no sorting and binary search functions)
• Basic Types (minimal)
• Memory Allocation (minimal)
• GDateTime (minimal)
• Date and Time Functions (minimal)
• Doubly-Linked Lists (full)
• Double-Ended Queues (full)
• Hash Tables (full)
• Strings (partial, no ASCII/Unichar functions)
• String Utility Functions (partial)
