A custom C library to fix C's historical flaws. Written in C89 without relying compiler-specific extensions and (trying to) avoiding macro-slop.
Note: This library is a work in progress and currently on supports x86_64 Linux.

No Hidden/Gobal State: The standard libc forces users to rely on hidden global state (like 'errno' or 'stdin'), which can be painful and unsafe to debug/work while using multithreading.
Builtin Data Structures: Every C developer eventually implements their own slice or dynamic array. By providing these basic types directly in the library, 'flibc' speeds up development and prevents reinventing the wheel.
Explicit Error Handling: IF there is an error, functions just return an 'error_t' instead of crashing or modifying a global variable.
A Modern C Runtime: The C runtime parses arguments into slices. Your program receives explicit parameters for standard stream, the executable name, cli arguments and the standard allocator.
