You only #define _CLIB_IMPL 1 in one translation unit when compiling.

  Ah, OK. I was confused how that was supposedly used. I suppose header-only C libs are somewhat a pain, as inline does not work the same way as in C++, and static may cause code bloat when inlining does not happen in multiple TUs.

    C Header-only libraries do not exist. It's just `#include "foo.c"` with extra steps.

      `#include "foo.c"` would repeat the implementation in multiple object files which is both wasteful and, if not using static, create conflicting symbols.

        You missed the "with extra steps". #define XXX_IMPL #include "xxx.h" And #include "xxx.c" Are exactly the same trash.

          No they are not, the former allows you to include the header file in multiple .c files, the latter does not.
