OSSP val is a flexible name-to-value mapping library for ISO-C
variables. It allows one to access ISO-C variables through name
strings, although the ISO-C language provides neither such a dedicated
facility nor an evaluation construct (which could be used to implement
such a facility easily). In general, this is used for accessing ISO-C
variables without having to know the actual symbol/address. The
typical use cases are in combination with flexible configuration
parsing and supporting loosely-coupled DSO-based module architectures.
