Snappy

This is a fork of the snappy-go library from code.google.com. It has been changed to use the C++ snappy library for encoding and decoding.

This package is also a go-gettable version of the C++ snappy library for use in Go code that needs to link against the C++ snappy library but wants to integrate with go get and go build. The snappy source is currently pinned to the 1.1.1 release.

To use in your project you need to import the package and set appropriate cgo flag directives:

import _ "github.com/cockroachdb/c-snappy"

// #cgo CXXFLAGS: -std=c++11
// #cgo CPPFLAGS: -I <relative-path>/c-snappy/internal
// #cgo darwin LDFLAGS: -Wl,-undefined -Wl,dynamic_lookup
// #cgo !darwin LDFLAGS: -Wl,-unresolved-symbols=ignore-all
import "C"
