E-xyza/zigler

This system is a library that enables Elixir and Erlang developers to write high-performance Native Implemented Functions (NIFs) using the Zig programming language. It provides a comprehensive interface for compiling Zig code into shared libraries, handling complex type marshalling between BEAM terms and Zig types, and managing memory allocation. The system supports various concurrency models, including threaded and dirty scheduler execution, and includes robust tooling for precompilation and C interop.

This period focused on modernizing the project's architecture by introducing a new Zig module for inline NIFs, replacing the legacy template-based approach. The update includes expanding test coverage for NIF options and data type conversions, while also upgrading dependencies to Elixir 1.15 and Zig 0.16.0.

This period focused on building out the core infrastructure for integrating Zig with the BEAM, including memory management, concurrency models, and comprehensive type marshaling. The team also established robust testing for compiler errors and C interop, while introducing a dedicated installer for the Zig toolchain to streamline development workflows.

This period focused on achieving exhaustive test coverage across the entire codebase, including callbacks, concurrency, C interop, Erlang integration, raw NIFs, resource management, and all supported Zig types. The work also included rigorous testing of memory allocation, corner cases, and precompiled module functionality to ensure robustness and correctness.
