JM_BUS

This is just an experimental project to try and make my own message bus in C.

The point of this project was to have a simple and minimal message bus you could spin up as server inside your program and/or connect to from a client program.

The project contains 3 programs and a shared library.

server/ is where a default server implmentation is.

client/ holds a simple pub and sub implementation.

common/ is where the bulk of the logic is and where the shared library is generated.

Requirements

I've only tested on Ubuntu currently.

• -std=C11
• https://github.com/jmatth11/array_template.git <- clone inside deps/

Building

Common Library

You need to build common/ first.

command: make archive

Programs (optional)

For all three programs server/, client/pub, and client/sub just run the make command in their respective directories.

Running

There is a convenient run.sh in each of the programs' folders.

This sets up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and runs the program.

Run the server/ first, then the client/sub/, and then the client/pub/.
