Go packages helping to win by K.O. when fighting cross-cutting concerns.

Goals

• Apply low allocation coding practices;
• use data oriented programming whenever appropriate;
• introduce as little runtime dependencies as possible;
• provide a productive, pleasant and low churn developer experience,
• have predictable performance;
• provide production grade error reporting.

Installation

go get github.com/stergiotis/boxer

Maturity

Unstable, alpha, API may still change heavily.

Glossary

curlier

Go code mimicking cUrl.

e2e

End-to-end.

ea

Means input-output (german abbreviation to distinguish from core packages).

eb

Error building.

eh

Error handling.

fec

Forward error correction.

inst

Instance (similar to self, this).

fffi

Frame oriented Foreign Function Interface

imzero

Style Conventions

File Extensions

Boxer uses chained file extension (e.g. file.docx.pdf.txt):

`.out.<ext>.`

Generated source code checked in repository e.g. `myfile.out.go`

`.gen.<ext>.`

Source code generated in regular build process (i.e. part of binary distribution but not source distribution): e.g. `myfile.gen.go`

`.idl.go`

boxer's Issues

log.Fatal not properly catched by panic handler

log.Fatal does not seem to compose well with panic handlers.

ImZero: Expose more text editor features

Short write while using ImZero GUI

Currently non-reproducible: Sporadically an ErrShortWrite error terminates the go binary while interactively using an ImZero GUI.

Cbor Diag for Tag 63 incorrect

Check brace closing and separators. Add unit test.

ImZero: imgui p_open out param is unitialized

p_open param is set to false to signal close window request of the user by functions similar to ImGui::Begin. The function does however not set p_open to true. ImZero therefore needs either to expose the param als in-out param to the user-code or initialize the variable with true.
