libR3

libR3 is designed to be a minimal, and extensible runtime library, making writing complex programs simpler by reducing bugs and boilerplate, helping you ship faster.

---

Features

• Modular architecture – Include only the APIs you need.
• No platform dependencies – Fully self-contained, written in C99.
• Simple Integration - Any api can serve as a drop-in along side the libR3.mem.mem API.

API Overview

API	Description
mem	Memory management
ds	Data Structures
io	Input/Output
math	Math utilities (GL friendly)

---

Getting Started

1. Choose a Release

Release	Contents
libR3-dev	Full development version: headers, and prebuilt .dll
libR3	Standard release: prebuilt .dll

| NOTE: Both versions are available as .zip and .tar archives.

---

2. Development Integration

Use the libR3-dev release if you want access to all headers, and prebuilt binaries:

• Add libR3's include directory to your compiler's header search path
• Link against the provided .dll build artifact.
• Use libR3/r3.h to bootstrap the library and access the full API

---

3. Write Some Code

#include <include/libR3/mem/mem.h>
#include <include/libR3/io/string.h>

int main() {
    void* someMemory;

    // allocate 1024 bytes, (8 byte aligned on 64bit systems else 4byte aligned)
    if ((someMemory = r3AllocMemory(1024))) {
        // code away...
    }

    char* someString;
    if ((someString = r3NewString(32))) {
        // string code here...
    }

    // don't froget to free...
    r3DelString(someString);
    r3FreeMemory(someMemory);

    return 0;
}

---

Building From Source

Option 1: Use your preferred build system or a minimal setup:

gcc -shared -o libR3.dll src/libR3/*/*.c

Option 2: The build process can be automated using r3make.

r3make -nf

| NOTE: This command builds the libR3 library
