⚠️ Warning

clibs is still experimental and primarily intended for personal use.
The API may change without notice.

❓ What is clibs?

clibs is a collection of utility code (types, typedefs, macros, functions) used across C programs.
It is self-contained and domain-neutral, designed to be applicable in various contexts.

🖥️ System Requirements

A C compiler that supports ANSI C
GNU Make (for testing only)

clibs is written in ANSI C (C89). However, we have tested it with C89, C99, and C11.
You can use it with either classic or modern C codebases.

We have successfully compiled and run clibs with:

GCC
Clang
Visual C++
Intel C++ Compiler

We also test clibs on the following Unix or Unix-like systems:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Rocky Linux 8.5
openSUSE Leap 15.3
FreeBSD 13.0

It should also work on other Unix-like systems.

Additionally, we test clibs on Windows using AppVeyor,
so it should be compatible with Windows as well.

📦 How to Use

The utilities in clibs are self-contained, provided either as:

single-header files, or
single-header + single-source file combos.

Just copy the components you need into your C project.

Files starting with test_*.c are for testing purposes and are not required for using clibs.
