Glib

GLib is a cross-platform Software Utility Library . It started life as part of the GTK+ project, but is now used by other applications. While it was originally a convenient library to collect low-level code in, it has since expanded into offering wrapper functions for functionality that is typically different across platforms. GLib is now the cross-platform component that makes applications portable across different operating systems.

Some features of GLib include:

basic types and their limits

standard Macros

Type Conversion s

Byte Order

Memory Allocation

warnings and assertions

message logging

Timers

string utilities

Hook Function s

a Lexical scanner

dynamic loading of Modules

Thread s

Memory Pool s

automatic string completion.

a type system, GType

an object system, GObject

A number of data structures (and their related operations) are also defined, including:

memory chunks

doubly- and singly- Linked List s

Hash Table s (associative arrays)

strings (which can grow dynamically)

string chunks (groups of strings)

Arrays (which can grow in size as elements are added)

balanced Binary Tree s

N-ary trees

quarks (a two-way association of a string and a unique integer identifier)

Keyed Data Lists (lists of data elements accessible by a string or integer id)

relations and Tuple s (tables of data which can be indexed on any number of fields)

Caches .
