[DEV] C Implementation #2

Closed MatrixEditor closed 7 months ago

MatrixEditor commented 7 months ago

Another implementation in C that covers:

structs, fields
the struct protocol was renamed to "atom protocol"
new approach to packing and unpacking using layers
updated documentation that incorporates the C API using Doxygen and Breathe

almost the same syntax as before:


from caterpillar._C import Struct, atom, unpack

class Foo(atom): ...

class: MyStruct: foo: Foo()

s = Struct(MyStruct, alter_model=True) unpack(b"...", s)


+ Python and C implementation are **NOT** compatible to each other (at least not now)
