This PoC is a C library that wraps Hazelcast C++ Client to provide Hazelcast functionalities natively in the C programming language.

hz_wrapper.h is the public C interface the user will interact and hz_wrapper.cpp is the implementation.

The resulting C library can be used by the example project.

Since this is a PoC, the only thing that's supported is IMap.get<string, int>.

Here is how you can run the PoC yourself.

Install the following:

• CMake
• C/C++ compiler
• Hazelcast C++ Client (vcpkg installation is assumed below)

cmake -B build -S . \ 
      -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake

Add -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1 for building shared library.

This will build both the C library and the example.

cmake --build build --verbose

Make sure you put some items into some map to query because the PoC doesn't support putting.

./build/example/main

Example output:

input map and key name: ages yunus
