| Native module library (Form A) |[`mcpplibs.xpkg`](../pkgs/x/xpkg.lua) · [`mcpplibs.tinyhttps`](../pkgs/t/tinyhttps.lua) · [`tensorvia-cpu`](../pkgs/t/tensorvia-cpu.lua) · [`ffmpeg`](../pkgs/f/ffmpeg.lua) (module layer; sources compiled directly through `compat.ffmpeg`) · [`opencv`](../pkgs/o/opencv.opencv.lua) (single repository: the module layer and the full OpenCV 5 source build both live in the package, and only this descriptor stays on the index side) · [`mcpplibs.grpc`](../pkgs/g/grpc.lua) (gRPC 1.83.0 — the one library here that CANNOT be a compat descriptor: upstream publishes no self-contained source artifact, its tag archive carrying abseil/protobuf/re2/boringssl/zlib as empty submodule placeholders, so [grpc-m](https://github.com/mcpplibs/grpc-m)'s release tarball IS that artifact. It vendors only gRPC's own source and takes the five dependencies from this index, so a consumer that also uses protobuf links one copy rather than two) |

| Native multi-module library with feature-scoped sources |[`gzj-creator.galay`](../pkgs/g/gzj-creator.galay.lua) (Galay 5.0.0 — the upstream Form-A manifest exposes `galay.utils` and `galay.kernel` by default, while SSL, HTTP, database, RPC, MCP, and tracing modules stay behind named features and their corresponding dependencies. The index keeps the upstream manifest intact and tests the default module surface on Unix.) |

| C-source compat (with `features`) | [`compat.cjson`](../pkgs/c/compat.cjson.lua) · [`compat.zlib`](../pkgs/c/compat.zlib.lua) · [`compat.hiredis`](../pkgs/c/compat.hiredis.lua) (the classic 1.2.0 — a 7-TU C build whose flat tarball headers get `hiredis/`-prefixed wrapper headers via `generated_files`, so consumers write `#include <hiredis/hiredis.h>` exactly like upstream's install layout) · [`compat.sqlite3`](../pkgs/c/compat.sqlite3.lua) (plain C-source, no features: the single `sqlite3.c` amalgamation; 3.45.3, the final maintenance release of the most widely deployed 3.45.x line) · [`compat.libuv`](../pkgs/c/compat.libuv.lua) (libuv 1.48.0 — the per-OS source sets transcribed from upstream's CMakeLists, because a `src/unix/*.c` glob would compile every OS's backend at once; linux/macos get explicit unix subsets, windows globs `src/win/*.c`) | · [`compat.xxhash`](../pkgs/c/compat.xxhash.lua) (one TU, one header, no features at all — the interesting decision is what is NOT compiled: `xxh_x86dispatch.c` selects an AVX2/AVX512 path at RUNTIME and needs per-file `-mavx2` plus `XXH_X86DISPATCH` at every call site, so the package ships the flagless SSE2 baseline instead. Nor is the header-only `XXH_INLINE_ALL` mode chosen: it re-emits the implementation in every TU that hashes anything, which is the right trade only when there is exactly one such TU — something a package cannot know)

| C-source compat where the library IS a kernel ABI | [`compat.libaio`](../pkgs/c/compat.libaio.lua) (libaio 0.3.113 — twelve syscall-wrapper TUs, and the only `xpm` section is `linux`, because there is no port to declare: `struct iocb` is the kernel's and every TU is `syscall(__NR_io_*, …)`. Consumers gate it with `[target.'cfg(linux)'.dependencies]`, the mirror image of compat.wil. Three things it teaches. **One public header out of a source dir**: upstream installs exactly one, `libaio.h`, but the tarball keeps it in `src/` beside the private headers — one of which is named `syscall.h` and would SHADOW glibc's for every consumer TU — so `include_dirs` names a `generated_files` forwarder and nothing else; the package's own sources reach the real header through it while their quote-form `#include "syscall.h"` still resolves next to the including `.c`, so no `-I` into `src/` is needed at all. **A `c_standard` that is a trap**: `-std=c11` sets `__STRICT_ANSI__`, which hides `syscall()` and `sigset_t`, and the public header then fails to parse at `io_pgetevents`; declaring `c_standard = "gnu11"` LOOKS like the fix but mcpp 2026.8.27.2 accepts the string and still emits `-std=c11` (visible in the emitted `compile_commands.json`), so `-D_GNU_SOURCE` in `cflags` is the spelling that takes effect. **Symbol versioning in a static package**: `io_getevents` and `io_cancel` have no ordinary definitions upstream — the functions are `io_getevents_0_4` etc. publishing short names through `.symver … @@LIBAIO_0.4` — which resolves for an executable under both ld.bfd and lld, but not when a consumer builds a `.so` straight out of these objects; that needs upstream's `src/libaio.map`, exactly as upstream's own `libaio.a` does) |

| C++-source compat, one depending on the other | [`compat.abseil`](../pkgs/c/compat.abseil.lua) (151 TUs; a wildcard over `absl/**` trimmed by upstream's test/benchmark naming conventions) · [`compat.protobuf`](../pkgs/c/compat.protobuf.lua) (the libprotobuf runtime, 79 TUs transcribed from upstream's own `src/file_lists.cmake`; declares `compat.abseil` as a dependency because protobuf's public headers include `absl/…`, and its `gzip` feature defines `HAVE_ZLIB` and pulls `compat.zlib`, while `upb` adds protobuf's 64-TU C runtime out of the same tarball. It also exposes **`protoc`** as a `kind = "bin"` target, so a consumer writing `tools = ["protoc"]` gets the compiler built for its own machine out of the same package it links — making a generator/runtime version mismatch inexpressible) · [`compat.re2`](../pkgs/c/compat.re2.lua) (22 TUs, upstream's own `RE2_SOURCES`) · [`compat.redis-plus-plus`](../pkgs/c/compat.redis-plus-plus.lua) (redis++ 1.3.13 — the sync client, 17 TUs + `patterns/redlock.cpp`, depends on `compat.hiredis`; the one header CMake would generate, `hiredis_features.h`, is snapshotted via `generated_files`, and the async/TLS TUs are left out so the base build stays a two-package pair. An `async` feature adds the libuv-backed `AsyncRedis` interface (the 9 async TUs + `compat.libuv`; `event_loop.cpp` runs `uv_run` on a background thread, and `<hiredis/adapters/libuv.h>` arrives through compat.hiredis' wrapper headers). Two versions, one on each side of the source-structure watershed, share this ONE source list: 1.3.13 (modern 17-TU layout) and 1.3.3 (pre-`redis_uri.cpp`/`redlock` 15-TU layout) — the union works because 1.3.3's TUs are a strict subset, so exactly two globs match nothing there (a warning, not an error; same trick as compat.catch2)) | · [`compat.sqlitecpp`](../pkgs/c/compat.sqlitecpp.lua) (the RAII C++ wrapper over SQLite. Upstream vendors sqlite3 as a GIT SUBMODULE, so a source tarball simply does not contain it and the library cannot link — the dependency edge on `compat.sqlite3` replaces the submodule, and does it better: two consumers of SQLite in one link now share ONE amalgamation instead of each embedding a private copy with its own compile-time options. Its two CMake knobs are deliberately not set — `SQLITECPP_USE_ASSERT_ON_ERRORS` changes the error model from throwing to aborting, and `SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA` has to agree with how SQLite ITSELF was built; both are the consumer's call, and the headers already guard them with `#ifdef`)
