C-Hglib

A C library for interfacing with Mercurial's CommandServer.

Getting the source

You can clone the packeage from its primary repository c-hglib.

Also you can take a look on c-hglib documentation.

Plan to build c-hglib

The implementation was split in three steps:

• level 0 also called row level
  • pass a raw command string, get unparsed results
• level 1 also called command level
  • function per command, returns results in native C datatypes
• level 2 also called "object" level
  • emulate important Mercurial internal APIs like contexts with a native C paradigm

For the moment level 0 is in the accepting phase, I need to get reviews before declared finished. You can see and review level 0 on this patchbomb.

Meanwhile I started to make a sketch for level 1. You can also see and comment on this sketch over here.

I had made a sketch for level 1 log_command

My starts points will be

• CommandServer

• python-hglib

• chg
