Chan

Chan is a generic, thread-safe, concurrent FIFO (Queue data structure) implementation similar to Go channles in C99. It supports buffered and unbuffered modes.

Note

The library itself (chan.c and chan.h) is implemented with ANSI C99 standard. But some examples use gnu99 standard for non-std functionalities.

Warning

This project is for learning purposes. Do NOT use this in production or your projects.

Build

This library is written with pthread and it's a single chan.c file. To build the example program main.c:

make

This will build an executable that uses chan.c and chan.h files. The test creates 4 producer threads that push integer values to the channel with 4 consumer threads. Consumer threads pop integer values from channel and print them.

Public interface

Read chan.h file. It's easy to understand :)
