rinutils - A C11 / gnu11 utilities C library

Introduction

This is a set of C headers containing macros and static functions that are expected to work on Unix-like systems and MS Windows that have been extracted from Shlomi Fish´s projects.

Note that we publish releases source tarballs: https://github.com/shlomif/rinutils/tags .

These headers include:

1. sizeof-aware wrappers for malloc()/realloc()

2. COUNT() and LAST() macros.

3. DLLEXPORT symbols-modifiers.

4. likely() and unlikely() CPU branch-prediction hints (see Stack Overflow question).

5. long long sprintf()-formats

6. min() and max()

7. rinutils/portable_time.h for cross-platform time querying.

8. Some string utilities as inline functions.

9. typeof_wrap.h for C++-"auto"-like macros.

10. GCC_UNUSED for silencing warnings.

11. rinutils/rin_cmocka.h for reducing cmocka’s boilerplate.

Note: we only support the -std=gnu11 dialect as supported by GCC, clang and compatible compilers. Other compilers are not supported.
