MirAL - The Mir Abstraction Layer
---------------------------------
MirAL aims to provide a stable “abstraction layer” written over the top of the
Mir server API that will provide a stable ABI. There are a number of other
goals that can be addressed at the same time:
- The API can be considerably narrowed as a lot of things can be customized
that are of no interest to shell development;
- A more declarative design style can be follow than the implementation
focussed approach that the Mir server API follows; and,
- Common facilities that don’t belong in the Mir libraries can be provided.
The Mir Abstraction Layer (miral) is a both a proof-of-concept and a
work-in-progress but may be of interest as modern C++ codebase to experiment
with.
There are two significant components to the MirAL project:
- libmiral.so is the abstraction library itself
- miral-shell is an example shell demonstrating the use of libmiral
