OSSP val - Value Access
Version 0.9.4 (03-Oct-2005)
ABSTRACT
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.
