Overview

The Varon-T library is a C implementation of the disruptor queue, a high performance messaging library based on an efficient FIFO circular queue implementation.

API documentation can be found here.

Build instructions

To build Varon-T, you need the following libraries installed on your system:

• pkg-config
• libcork
• check
• clogger

If you want to build the documentation, you also need:

• Sphinx

The Varon-T library uses CMake as its build manager. In most cases, you should be able to build the library from source code using the following commands from the top level of your copy of the source tree:

$ mkdir .build
$ cd .build
$ cmake .. \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX
$ make
$ make test
$ make install

There are two tests. The first is a functional test and the second is a performance test. The latter may take a couple of minutes to complete.

You might have to run the last command using sudo, if you need administrative privileges to write to the $PREFIX directory.
