osom_lib
========
This project implements various data structures and algorithms for use
in osom projects and not only.
It also defines stable ABI, in the sense that all types used here are `repr(C)`.
Most of the libraries are #![no_std], although some do use os syscalls. Other
libraries can optionally enable `std` support by setting the feature with the same
name.
Libraries here try to have as little runtime dependencies as possible. Typically
this means only `libc` and `windows-sys` dependencies whenever access to the
operating system is needed.
osom_lib crates
---------------
The libraries here are independent on the operating system and can be used anywhere
Rust runs.
* [`osom_lib`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib) This library simply
gathers and re-exports other osom libs defined here. It also supports `std` feature
for enabling standard (often meaning: os dependent) implementations.
* [`osom_lib_reprc`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_reprc) defines macros, and
traits that help working with `#[repr(C)]` representations.
* [`osom_lib_entropy`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_entropy) holds tools for
generating randomness from the surrounding entropy, i.e. the operating system.
* [`osom_lib_entropy_cprng`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_entropy_cprng) implements
an entropy generator that generates data from cryptographically secure PRNG, but is seeded from
the OS-specific entropy.
* [`osom_lib_prng`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_prng) defines pseudo
random number generator algorithms, including cryptographically secure.
* [`osom_lib_hash_tables`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_hash_tables) defines several
ABI stable hash tables.
* [`osom_lib_hashes`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_hashes) defines several
ABI stable hashing functions.
* [`osom_lib_macros`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_macros) several general macros
useful in various context.
* [`osom_lib_primitives`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_primitives) holds
several primitives (like Length and CResult) used by other osom libs.
* [`osom_lib_alloc`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_alloc) defines Allocator
trait and related stuff.
* [`osom_lib_arrays`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_arrays) defines and
implements various ABI stable arrays.
* [`osom_lib_carc`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_carc) defines ABI stable
reference counting smart pointers.
* [`osom_lib_numbers`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_numbers) various helpers and
numeric algorithms.
* [`osom_lib_strings`](https://rafalszefler.github.io/osom_lib/osom_lib_strings) various helpers and
algorithms for dealing with strings.
