Welcome to ZAB’s Home Page
A high-performance liburing backed event loop for building asynchronous and multi-threaded programs.
The original goal of this library was to learn the new coroutines TS for C++. I found the most difficult part of the coroutine TS is when you want to develop an asynchronous architecture or “executer/runtime” that can handle re-entrant code across possibly different threads. Thus, ZAB was born.
ZAB uses io_uring and liburing as its back end to provide asynchronous system calls. ZAB so far does not try to provide QoL or improvements on the posix system call API’s. However, C++ classes are provided to provide resource management and group similar function calls.

Disclosure
ZAB is still in the _alpha_ stage so all feedback and suggestions are welcome and encouraged. I do not expect the interface to change significantly but it is possible. Tests are provided and I’ve tried to be thorough but I don’t have the capacity to test everything at this stage. If people are interested in using the ZAB framework, I will work to release a fully stable version.
