mesh.pp

highlights

p2p network basics

• p2p socket library
• p2p contact list kademlia like algorithm built in

file system utilities

• file_loader - everything needed to store persistent state of application
• vector_loader, map_loader - store big amounts of data in file system
• transactions - commit/rollback interface for storage related operations

details on supported/unsupported features/technologies

• dependencies? boost, crypto++, belt.pp and a simple cmake utility
• portable? yes! it's a goal. clang, gcc, msvc working.
• build system? cmake. refer to cmake project generator options for msvc, xcode, etc... project generation.
• static linking vs dynamic linking? both supported, refer to BUILD_SHARED_LIBS cmake option
• 32 bit build? never tried to fix build errors/warnings
• header only? no.
• c++11
• unicode support? boost::filesystem::path ensures that unicode paths are well supported and the rest of the code assumes that std::string is utf8 encoded.

how to build mesh.pp?

user@pc:~$ mkdir projects
user@pc:~$ cd projects
user@pc:~/projects$ git clone https://github.com/publiqnet/mesh.pp
user@pc:~/projects$ cd mesh.pp
user@pc:~/projects/mesh.pp$ git submodule update --init --recursive
user@pc:~/projects/mesh.pp$ cd ..

user@pc:~/projects/mesh.pp.build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./install ../mesh.pp
user@pc:~/projects/mesh.pp.build$ cmake --build . --target install

git submodules?

yes, we keep up with belt.pp. it's a part of the project, so, if you're a developer contributing to belt.pp too, then

user@pc:~$ cd projects/mesh.pp
user@pc:~/projects/mesh.pp$ cd src/belt.pp
user@pc:~/projects/mesh.pp/src/belt.pp$ git checkout master
user@pc:~/projects/mesh.pp/src/belt.pp$ git pull
