- OSSP Val - Value Library
+ OSSP val -- Value Access
Version 0.1.0 (16-Jan-2002)
ABSTRACT
- The OSSP Val library is ...
+ OSSP val is a flexible name to value mapping library for ISO-C
+ variables. It allows one to access ISO-C variables through name
+ strings, although the ISO-C language does neither provide such a
+ dedicated facility nor an evaluation construct (which could be used to
+ implement such a facility easily).
+
+ In general, this is used for accessing ISO-C variables without
+ having to know the actual symbol/address. The typical use cases are
+ in combination with flexible configuration parsing and supporting
+ loosly-coupled DSO-based module architectures.
