MBox, Meson, and Ref: A Practical Guide to Building Modern C/C++ Projects

Modern C and C++ projects benefit from fast, reproducible builds and clear dependency management. This post demonstrates how to use Meson as a build system for projects using the mbox-style single-file message storage pattern and how to design a small library that exposes a safe reference-like API (“ref”) to interact with mbox entries. You’ll get a working project layout, Meson build files, example code, tests, and tips for packaging.
