Configuration¶

Abscom has no runtime configuration file — it reads no environment variables and no config files at run time. All configuration happens at build time through Meson options and compile-time macros.

Meson options¶

The project is configured in meson.build:

project('abscom', 'c',
  version: '0.2.6',
  license: 'MIT',
  default_options: [
    'c_std=c11',
    'warning_level=3',
  ])

Option	Default	Effect
`c_std`	`c11`	C standard used for all sources.
`warning_level`	`3`	Compiler warning level (`-Wall -Wextra` and stricter on GCC/Clang).

Override them at setup time, for example:

meson setup build -Dc_std=c11 -Dwarning_level=2

Compile-time macros¶

Macro	Where defined	Effect
`ABS_BUILDING_LIBRARY`	`meson.build` (`c_args`)	Marks the library build so `ABS_API` expands to `__declspec(dllexport)` on Windows.
`ABS_USE_LIBRARY`	consumer builds (optional)	Marks a consumer so `ABS_API` expands to `__declspec(dllimport)` on Windows.
`_WIN32`	compiler	Enables the Windows code paths (Winsock, `Sleep`, QPC/FILETIME time).
`POOL_BLOCK_SIZE`	`src/abs.c` (`#define POOL_BLOCK_SIZE 1024`)	Number of `AbsObj` slots per memory-pool block.

These are internal to the implementation; application code only needs to know about ABS_API's behavior when building/consuming the shared library on Windows.

Sockets¶

On Windows, meson.build detects the host system and adds ws2_32 as a dependency automatically (ws_deps). POSIX builds use the standard socket headers. There is nothing to configure.

Author tooling note¶

The author's publishing workflow uses a configuration directory at ~/.config/neostore/<project>/config.toml (where <project> is abscom). This is a tool convention, not a feature of the library itself — Abscom does not read or ship such a file. A default config may be added there by the author's tooling in the future.
