libmpdserver

Parser combinator library for MPD client commands.

Status

Currently primarily a toy project for experimenting with parser combinators. Buggy, incomplete and unstable at the moment. Nonetheless, I started implementing a custom MPD server with this library.

Design Goals

This library attempts to follow some of the langsec principles outlined in [1]. This include a strict input grammar enforced using a parser combinator and performing full input recognition in the library before doing further processing in the application.

Compilation

Compile using:

$ make

Run the test suite using:

$ make check

Perform some sanity check with valgrind using:

$ make valgrind

Known Issues

  • Not all double quoted arguments are escaped before further processing. This means that commands like pause "\0" are incorrectly considered invalid.
