Don't forget that Imatix has a long history of producing top notch infrastructure software. Their code is consistently, tight, fast, and pretty. For anyone who wants to improve their C hacking, I highly recommend the SFL (Imatix's Standard Function Library): purtiest code you have ever seen.

Very kind of you. SFL is my work.

  My honor :-) Several times in my life I thought of sending an unsolicited resume to you guys, but always doubted I had what it takes.

  I'm quite impressed, and many thanks for the documentation! All in all, a much more readable library than I've ever seen. btw, did you know your documentation [1] has bad links for point_in_rec ? All links I've found link to mem_alloc. http://legacy.imatix.com/html/sfl/ http://legacy.imatix.com/html/sfl/

  SFL saved my ass in the mid-1990s. I was in dire need of some easy-to-use, well-documented functionalities in C and SFL was easily the best there was. A million thanks for providing such high-quality code to the community!

Are you kidding? What is this: http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#zAePDxanDsk/openamq/server/amq_exchange_headers.icl&q=openamq&d=1 http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#zAePDxanDsk/openamq...

  You're looking at OpenAMQ, not SFL. This is the metaprogramming we used to build OpenAMQ. It was very successful in technology terms (1M lines of real code generated from 20k lines of metacode) but a failure in social tems (too high a barrier to community participation).

That's a great link, thanks. I've just started reading http://sites.google.com/site/cinterfacesimplementations/ http://sites.google.com/site/cinterfacesimplementations/, and it looks like SFL should provide a good companion piece at the very least. Great documentation.
