IdLib Process provides cross-platform (Windows and Linux) intra-process functionality:

• singleton root object that is thread-safe, reference counted, and retains its singleton property also when using DLLs in Windows.
• singleton-scoped recursive intra-process mutex. The library is designed as backing library to be integrated into other C programs. IdLib Process is licensed under the zlib License.

Integrating IdLib Process into the sources of your CMake-based project is the intended use of IdLib Process. For information on the integration of IdLib Process with your CMake-based project, see Integrating Process in CMake-based projects.

For development (or if you really want to use prebuilt binaries), you can do standalone builds of IdLib Process.

IdLib Process has been tested to build and run both under Windows 11 and Linux. Find the build instrutions for the respective systems below:

• Building IdLib Process under Windows 11/Visual Studio Community
• Building IdLib Process under Linux
