phchan

Simple header-only library for thread-safe buffered channels written in C

Note

This project was written for my own needs, I do not guarantee any support of this project in future

Usage

Place phchan.h file somewhere in your project and then put this in your C file. Note that #define must be present exactly once

#define PHCHAN_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "phchan.h"

Example usage:

phchan_t chan = {0};
phchan_init(&chan, 16); // You better adjust capacity for your own needs

phchan_send(&chan, 10);
phchan_send(&chan, 2);

phchan_close(&chan); // phchan_send() now impossible

int data;
data = phchan_recv(&chan); // 10
data = phchan_recv(&chan); // 2

phchan_destroy(&chan) // must be called after phchan_close() call and after all reading threads exit

For extra description and other functions check phchan.h file

Roadmap

• Add timed send/recv
• Add unit tests
• Add epoll/kqueue variant of channels
• Add C++ operator wrappers (>>)
