If your code depends on a bunch of initialization from libc, then you should continue to link to and use libc. sp.h can coexist with libc just fine; if you link to it, the library makes sure to conform where it needs to (e.g. not stomping o

sp_math.h is, as noted at the top of the file, a repackaging of https://github.com/HandmadeMath/HandmadeMath It is not part of the core library. It is certainly not meant as a reference-level implementation of math fun

Have you considered compiling it into a binary of your choice? It works perfectly well as a traditional library. The only cost you pay is re-parsing the header part once per TU. Because C is so simple, this is virtually free. In any case, c

Thank you!

How would you write https://github.com/tspader/sp/blob/main/example/ls.c in your statically typed language of choice? To be fair, this is definitely the kindest example to my library, but one reason

Can you show me a realistic case with a longer path?

The point of the library is that you do not call the low level allocation primitive to allocate a single string. Of course, in simple programs which exit immediately, there is no difference between using a page allocator and a heap allocato

I don't support non-macOS BSDs explicitly yet. Not for any reason of design, just hasn't been a priority.

Thanks for reading. "There is no heap" is meant to say that your mental model of memory shouldn't be one heap from which all memory is pulled. It should be many heaps, owned by many different allocators and providing differen

There are very few C libraries which compile, stock, against the matrix of toolchains, ABIs, and operating systems that this library does. For the subset of machines which run, I don't know, 99.9% of all instructions (i.e. x86_64 + aar

I had half of a manifesto about how C programmers should be embarrassed on account of Zig but I ended up paring it down to be more focused on what the library is plainly. Zig is obviously incredible and this library would not exist without

Can you write more about the technical side? How does the transpilation work? Is it mostly naive / 1:1 or do you do any transforms on an AST? What will the language be good for when it's reasonably complete? What are you intention

Yes! KDE is the only thing in the Linux world that legitimately looks better than the big competitors. Not always, and not all the time; programs that are really focused on design are still a cut above, but I truly believe that KDE looks (a

If you don't understand how the original comment and doubly so this comment are rude, then there's nothing I can do for you. Godspeed and best of luck with being angry on the internet.

This is rude. Don't talk to people like this. It's a self proclaimed simple tool to solve a simple, recurrent problem in my life. It also gives you a config file that lets you clone and link on any machine, pulls on sync, and puts
