flatcc has no external dependencies except for build and compiler tools, and the C runtime library. With concurrent Ninja builds, a small client project can build flatcc with libraries, generate schema code, link the project and execute a test case in a few seconds, produce binaries between 15K and 60K, read small buffers in 30ns, build FlatBuffers in about 600ns, and with a larger executable also handle optional json parsing or printing in less than 2 us for a 10 field mixed type message. The JSON parser may change the interface for parsing union vectors in a future release which requires code generation to match library versions. This project builds flatcc, a compiler that generates FlatBuffers code for C given a FlatBuffer schema file. This introduction also creates a separate test project with the traditional monster example, here in a C version. The setup script builds flatcc using CMake, then creates a test project directory with the monster example.

Features

  • The flatcc compiler is implemented as a standalone tool instead of extending Googles flatc compiler
  • This project builds flatcc, a compiler that generates FlatBuffers code for C given a FlatBuffer schema file
  • Generated FlatBuffers reader and builder headers for C
  • JSON Parsing and Printing
  • Ability to concatenate all output into one file, or to stdout
  • Pre-generated reflection headers for handling .bfbs files
