E-xyza/zigler

Zigler is an Elixir library that enables the creation of Native Implemented Functions (NIFs) using the Zig programming language. It provides a comprehensive toolchain for compiling Zig code into BEAM-compatible binaries, managing memory allocation, and handling type marshalling between Elixir and C libraries. The system supports advanced concurrency models, including threaded and dirty scheduler execution, while offering robust error handling, memory leak detection, and extensive integration with the Erlang/BEAM runtime.

This period focused on modernizing the project's internal architecture by refactoring NIF compilation and code generation into modular components, while removing legacy templates and custom headers. Concurrently, the codebase was updated to support Elixir 1.15, and comprehensive test coverage was added to validate the new structure and integration capabilities.

This period focused on implementing the core infrastructure for compiling and running Zig-based NIFs within the Erlang/BEAM runtime, including memory management, type marshalling, and concurrency models. The work also established the build system, installer utilities, and comprehensive test coverage to support the new Zig interop features.

This period focused on systematically adding integration and unit tests across all major subsystems, including callbacks, concurrency, C interop, Erlang integration, raw NIFs, resource management, type marshalling, and memory allocation. The work also introduced a precompiled module to support multiplatform testing, ensuring robust validation of the library's core functionality and edge cases.
