Thanks Doug! On reflection, I should have more thoroughly looked at the project's site, as I later found the list of required methods that conforming implementations should support. Thanks for referencing the C++ implementation —I had initially considered creating a C version as a wrapper around that but I think I will decide against this due to various caveats that would produce (void pointers to C++ objects, reliance on a C++ compiler). It is definitely helpful reference material though :) I think I'll have a look at implementations in the various languages I'm most familiar with and use their interpretations and the aforementioned required methods list as a guide for designing the API of any library that I produce.
I'll probably opt to put it on my own Github repo. Once I get the time,
I'll have a go at building it and if I am successful will make the
project public and let you know so you may link to it if you find what
I've built helpful.
Best,
/J.S./
