Since I went to the effort of getting this to build with LibreSSL, it makes sense to check that it works. And it seems to. There's nothing special about the certificates added, except that they don't expire for 100 years, which is hopefully long enough that nothing will matter any more. They get baked into the test executable, since this was the best way I could figure out to be able to consistently load them during runtime, since they're stored relative to the source, not necessarily relative to the working directory in use when the test executable is run. This required some augmentation to the test server launcher which will make it easier to add additional flags to it in the future, if that becomes necessary.
NATS - Zig Client
This is a Zig client library for the NATS messaging system. It's currently a thin wrapper over NATS.c.
There are three main goals:
- Provide a Zig package that can be used with the Zig package manager.
- Provide a native-feeling Zig client API.
- Support cross-compilation to the platforms that Zig supports.
Right now, in service of goal 3, the underlying C library is built without certain features (notably, without TLS support and without streaming support) because those features require wrangling some complex transitive dependencies (OpenSSL and Protocol Buffers, respectively). Solving this limitation is somewhere on the roadmap, but it's not high priority.
Zig Version Support
Since the language is still under active development, any written Zig code is a moving target. The plan is to support Zig 0.11.* exclusively until the NATS library API has good coverage and is stabilized. At that point, if there are major breaking changes, a maintenance branch will be created, and master will probably move to track Zig master.
Building
Currently, a demonstration executable can be built in the standard fashion, i.e. by running zig build.
