description
libnostd is a collection of both cross-platform compatibility macros and routines, and common macros and routines used in general-purpose C programming.
For example, one compatibility issue addressed are the <sys/time.h> timer macros and gettimeofday(2) routine, some or all of which are not available in a WIN32 environment but provided in this library. Similarly, the popular strlcpy(3) and strlcat(3) routines are provided.
As a general rule, libnostd only contains interfaces which have a long history in the generally available body of C code. A de jure or de facto standard counts strongly (e.g. WinSock or ISO C99 routines). Others are pulled from long established projects, like STRINGIFY from the Perl code base.
Given the purpose of this library, it's been designed as a drop-in body of C code for existing projects, as opposed to a separate installable library. C routines can optionally be declared and defined statically or externally. In the latter case, one must include the .c files into a compilable unit within the existing project.
