Implements #118: versioned static/shared libraries, caller-owned result buffers, C conformance tests and cross-platform build coverage. ABI v1 supports flat scalar/bytes/string tuples; networking remains in the caller.

It adds static/shared builds, C conformance tests, FFI examples, cross-platform CI, documentation, and updates for Zig 0.16.0 and current APIs. ChangesC ABI implementation
Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This adds a native C ABI for cryptography, transaction signing, ABI, and RLP operations. Remaining uncertainty around concurrent signing use and ABI output sizing could cause incorrect behavior for FFI consumers, so these contracts should be clarified or fixed before merge.

- Around line 13-14: Update the API documentation near getContext to state that
ABI functions support concurrent calls when each caller supplies separate output
and serialization-workspace buffers; preserve the existing atomic initialization
and context lifetime behavior.
In `@src/c_api.zig`:
- Around line 219-225: Document beside abiCapacity and abi_encode.encodeValues
that encodeValues performs exactly one allocation of the calculated encoded size
and that this single-allocation contract is required by the
FixedBufferAllocator-based encoding path. Note that temporary allocations could
exhaust the allocator and produce ETH_ERR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, so copying the
result does not resolve the issue.

What
Closes #118. Adds a native C ABI for hashing, addresses, signing/recovery, EIP-1559 transactions, flat ABI values, and RLP envelopes, with static/shared libraries plus an offline Python signing example. Also repairs three examples that used the removed signer constructor and makes CI compile every Zig example and run the offline examples.
Why
Native and scripting-language integrations currently need their own wrapper around Zig internals. The public header and tested examples give those integrations a concrete entry point, while updating onboarding to the supported Zig 0.16.0 toolchain. Installation now saves the dependency as
eth, matching the documentedb.dependency("eth", ...)call; the introductory allocator and transaction-support FAQ also match the current API.How
zig build c-libinstalls static/shared libraries andinclude/eth.h; the header is the canonical ABI layout, imported by Zig through@cImportand installed unchanged rather than generated from Zig declarations.uint256,int256, address, bool, bytes32, bytes, string); arrays and nested tuples are outside this initial interface. RLP exposes a single string/list envelope so callers can compose or traverse nested data.ctypesand checks the known transaction hash.Validation
make ci ZIG=/Users/kokobhadra/.zig-0.16.0/zigpassed, including unit/vector tests, C linkage tests, and example checks.--save=eth, then built and ran an address-derivation example with the corrected dependency name.Checklist
