- ardwindo 4y agoThe author notes his decoder is 100 lines of libc-free C code: these files are safe!

- dottedmag 4y agoThe size of decoder is so small, so one can append the source code of decoder to most images and not make them much bigger in the process.

- dottedmag 4y agoYou mean standalone C99 code becomes non-compilable? Absurd.
