libtoolchain - Toolchain Development Library

Library to ease the development of toolchain applications.

This library helps with the busy work that is common to many toolchain development projects including:

• Cross platform support (macOS/Windows/GNU)
• Unicode entry-point (umain())
• Command-line option processing
• Formating binary data for command-line output
• Cross platform FileSystem IO with large file support for both 32bit & 64bit targets and unicode path support
• String transcoding (UTF-8/UTF-16/UTF-32)
• Extensible abstractions for generating and processing binary data
• Properly integrated wrappers for Cryptographic Algorithms (AES, RSA, SHA, HMAC, PBKDF1/PBKDF2, PRBG)

Planned features:

• Serialisation of human readable formats (XML, JSON, YAML, INI, CSV, etc)
• Properly integrated wrappers for Cryptographic Algorithms (Eliptic Curve, etc)
• Properly integrated wrappers for Compression Algorithms (LZ4, etc)
