What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A pure C library that implements Go-style channels (buffered and unbuffered) on top of pthreads, providing CSP-style communication and synchronization primitives. It supports sending, receiving, closing channels, and select-like operations.
Use cases
- implement go-style channels in c
- synchronize pthreads with message passing
- build producer-consumer pipelines in c
- csp-style concurrency in c programs
- pass messages between threads without manual locks
When to choose
- you want Go channel semantics in a C codebase
- you need simple thread-safe message passing without hand-rolling mutexes and condition variables
- you prefer a small, dependency-free C library
When to avoid
- you need async runtimes or goroutine scheduling, not just channels
- your project is C++ and you'd rather use standard primitives or a C++ library
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases
