Hello,
I am planning to use glib to write a C application server. I
just like the library philosophy a lot and that’s why it is my first choice.
However, after searching the web for a while, I have found some
critics, which I list bellow:
- On Apache ARP project, they said they created it instead of using glib
because the lack of IPC functions like memory mapping.
- In some forums, people were complaining about the fact glib aborts
when memory allocation fails, which is bad for a 24/7 running web server.
There is also g_try_malloc() and friends. This is advisable to use, if
you allocated memory based on a protocol fields you are receiving over
the net. This way you can avoid e.g. trying to allocate 4GB and
terminate and instead reject the request.

I would like to know the opinion of those more experienced with
glib. Do you recommend me to use it for writing a web server?
I really would like to use glib for that and I was thinking in
some workaround to avoid this problems, like find some portable way to get
the system's free memory before allocating anything and implement IPC
functions using posix directly, even using glib thread pools for threads
inside a process.
Anyway, glib's first intention was to be used by visual
applications, which is not the case. Would I be going against glib
philosophy trying to use it for something like a web server?
Regards,
Marcelo.
