ghost | A header-only portability and boilerplate library for C

ghost is a C library. ghost has no bugs, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However ghost has 4 vulnerabilities. You can download it from GitHub.

Ghost is useful for making extremely portable configure-free programs and libraries in C. Ghost wraps the ugly differences between language standards, compilers, operating systems and CPU architectures so you don't have to. It brings platform-specific extensions to all platforms wherever possible, and provides common features like math, serialization, and simple containers that are generally useful in any software project. What behaviour do you need for realloc(p, 0)? Ghost has all the variations. Do you want your threads to return int or void*? Ghost has both. What prototype do you want for qsort_r()? Ghost implements them all. Use whichever you like on any platform. Unlike portable runtimes like Apache's or glib, there is no runtime component to Ghost. It's composed entirely of macros and small inline functions that disappear at compile-time, delegating as much as possible to the platform to give you the smallest binaries and fastest code. Ghost is released under a public-domain-equivalent license (MIT-0). You can include it as-is, copy-paste from it at will, use it as documentation or educational materials, or amalgamate the parts you want into a single header namespaced to your project using the included tool. Ghost makes C a truly "write once, compile anywhere" language: it's designed to just work out-of-the-box on all operating systems, with all compilers, in all language standards, with zero configuration. Ghost is the configure script killer. If you hate the autotools as much as I do, you just might like Ghost.
