hi all !

I am having doubts whether to use glib on embedded systems.
My concern is footprint, i.e. memory usage.

What do you think ? Do you know of embedded systems that use
glib ?

I am designing a server that will run on embedded systems.
I need some sort of IPC mechanism, so I tend to use DBUS.
DBUS has nice glib binding.

Depends on how much of GLib you are going to use and how many
resources you have in your embedded system.

I'm not sure about D-Bus, but I don't think it requires that many resources.

Best regards.
