{\ttfamily libcomposition} is a modern C++23 library designed for the creation, manipulation, and analysis of chemical compositions, with a focus on astrophysical applications. It provides a robust and user-\/friendly interface for handling material compositions defined by mass or number fractions.\hypertarget{index_autotoc_md0}{}\doxysubsubsection{\texorpdfstring{Key Features}{Key Features}}\label{index_autotoc_md0}

\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item {\bfseries{Dual-\/\+Mode Operation}}\+: Natively supports compositions defined by {\bfseries{mass fraction}} or {\bfseries{number fraction}}.
\item {\bfseries{Rich Atomic Database}}\+: Includes a comprehensive, header-\/only database of isotopic properties (mass, half-\/life, spin, etc.) generated from the AME2020 and NUBASE2020 evaluations.
\item {\bfseries{Type Safety and Error Handling}}\+: Utilizes a clear exception hierarchy to report errors, such as using an unregistered isotope or accessing data from a non-\/validated composition.
\item {\bfseries{Powerful Functionality}}\+: Core features include mixing, subsetting, and on-\/the-\/fly conversion between mass and number fractions.
\item {\bfseries{Easy Integration}}\+: Designed for seamless integration with other projects using the Meson build system and {\ttfamily pkg-\/config}.

{\ttfamily libcomposition} uses the Meson build system. A C++23 compatible compiler is required.\hypertarget{index_autotoc_md2}{}\doxysubsubsection{\texorpdfstring{Build Steps}{Build Steps}}\label{index_autotoc_md2}
{\bfseries{Setup the build directory\+:}}

The first step is to use meson to set up an out of source build. Note that this means that you can have multiple builds configured and cleanly seperated!


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{meson\ setup\ builddir}

\end{DoxyCode}


{\bfseries{Compile the library\+:}}

meson by default uses ninja to compile so it should be very fast; however, gcc is very slow when compiling the species database so that migth take some time (clang tends to be very fast for this).


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{meson\ compile\ -\/C\ builddir}

\end{DoxyCode}


{\bfseries{Install the library\+:}}

This will also install a pkg-\/config file!


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{sudo\ meson\ install\ -\/C\ builddir}

\end{DoxyCode}
\hypertarget{index_autotoc_md3}{}\doxysubsubsection{\texorpdfstring{Build Options}{Build Options}}\label{index_autotoc_md3}
You can enable the generation of a {\ttfamily pkg-\/config} file during the setup step, which simplifies linking the library in other projects. by default this is true; it can be useful to disable this when using some build system orgestrator (such as meson-\/python).


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{\#\ Enable\ pkg-\/config\ file\ generation}
\DoxyCodeLine{meson\ setup\ builddir\ -\/Dpkg-\/config=true}

\end{DoxyCode}

\hypertarget{index_autotoc_md5}{}\doxysubsubsection{\texorpdfstring{Linking with pkg-\/config}{Linking with pkg-\/config}}\label{index_autotoc_md5}
If you installed {\ttfamily libcomposition} with the {\ttfamily pkg-\/config} option enabled, you can get the necessary compiler and linker flags easily\+:


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}

\DoxyCodeLine{pkg-\/config\ -\/-\/cflags\ fourdst\_composition}
\DoxyCodeLine{}
\DoxyCodeLine{\#\ Get\ linker\ flags\ (library\ paths\ and\ names)}
\DoxyCodeLine{pkg-\/config\ -\/-\/libs\ fourdst\_composition}

\end{DoxyCode}
