Semigroups.jl

Julia bindings for the libsemigroups C++ library

Overview

Semigroups.jl provides a Julia interface to libsemigroups through two components:

• libsemigroups_julia - A C++ glue library that wraps libsemigroups using CxxWrap
• Semigroups.jl - The Julia package providing a high-level, idiomatic Julia API

Installation

Prerequisites

1. Julia ≥ 1.9
2. libsemigroups installed system-wide (tested with version ≥ 3.2.0)
3. CMake ≥ 3.15
4. C++17 compiler

Installing Semigroups.jl

Currently, this package is under development. To install from the local repository:

using Pkg
Pkg.develop(path="/path/to/Semigroups.jl")

The C++ glue library (libsemigroups_julia) will be automatically built during package precompilation.

Pkg.precompile()

Tests

With the package installed, the tests can be run with:

Pkg.test()

Or as a one-liner:

julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.test()'

This should be expanded to a more robust test suite as the package grows.
