clutter-project.org - Clutter

"Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast, visually rich and
animated graphical user interfaces.

Clutter uses OpenGL (and optionally OpenGL ES for use on Mobile and embed-
ded platforms) for rendering but with an API which hides the underlying GL
complexity from the developer. The Clutter API is intended to be easy to use,
efficient and flexible.

Runs on Linux, Windows and OSX with backend window system support for
GLX, EGL, SDL and Cocoa."

elfrc - a resource compiler for ELF systems

"elfrc is a program which can turn arbitrary files into ELF object files which
can then be linked into your program directly and accessed via simple,
user-defined symbol names.

For instance, it's possible to embed even huge (16MB+) files directly into
the executable and then access the data in constant time without making
the compiler or linker eat loads of memory."

googlers; look for README.google files in each library directory for
information about changes."

r - M*LIB: Generic type-safe Container Library for C language

"M*LIB (M star lib) is a C library enabling to define and use generic and type
safe container, aka handling generic containers in in pure C language. The
objects within the containers can be trivial or very complex: they can have
their own constructor, destructor, operators or can be basic C type like the C
type 'int'.

This is an equivalent of the C++ Standard Library ...

M*LIB is only composed of a set of headers. There is no C file, and as such,
the installation is quite simple: you just have to put the header in the search
path of your compiler, and it will work."

The Quest for the Ultimate GUI Framework

"I do hope Microsoft changes something in the way they look at desktop apps.
This is where most Windows users are! Give us WPF in C++. Or enhance the
Win32 model. The current UI mess is not helping, either.

I'm going to set some time to work on building some tools that use Dear ImGui
- I feel it has the most bang for the buck."

git - UTF-8

"Some C functions to work with UTF-8 string : you can check if a string is valid
UTF-8, get the length of a UTF-8 string and replace things in a UTF-8 string. All
'char *' arguments must be regular, null-byte terminated, C strings. I've tried
to optimize the best I could. I'd be grateful for any suggestions or
improvements."

r - C development speed

Sure, there are several libraries for data structures in C, for example:

libCello: https://github.com/orangeduck/Cello

Collections-C: https://github.com/srdja/Collections-C

klib: https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/

You can even use GLib, which can easily be found by default in many Linux distros.

> libCello is blowing my mind! Never thought I'd see c like that. You ever use it?
