The library is fragmented into a series of headers and source files meant to be scanned in and then generated to a tailored format for the target `gen` files.
By default the base library implementation strictly uses a C-like interface. This is to allow for the generation of a C-variant of the library using [gen_c_library](../gen_c_library/). However, the library was written in C++ and supports some of its features:
*`GEN_SUPPORT_CPP_REFERENCES` : Will enable support for reference interface on some definitions
*`GEN_SUPPORT_CPP_MEMBER_FEATURES` : Will enable support for definitions to have their interface as members.
*Note: A variant of the C++ library could be generated where those additonal support features are removed (see gen_c_library implementation for an idea of how)*
Currently unsupported. I want the library to be *stable* and *correct*, with the addition of exhausting all basic single-threaded optimizations before I consider multi-threading.
4. Populate sub-entires using `add_entry`. If using the default serialization function `to_string`, follow the order at which entires are expected to appear (there is a strong ordering expected).
Names or Content fields are interned strings and thus showed be cached using `get_cached_string` if its desired to preserve that behavior.
`def_operator` is the most sophisticated constructor as it has multiple permutations of definitions that could be created that are not trivial to determine if valid.
The library has its code segmented into component files, use it to help create a derived version without needing to have to rewrite a generated file directly or build on top of the header via composition or inheritance.
