an ISO C implementation of an ad-hoc extension library

libclc will become the greatest, most portable, best documented, ANSI C library around, and will be the library of choice for all C developers. We're just not there yet. -- Bjørn Augestad in comp.lang.c

libclc is a project undertaken by comp.lang.c regulars in order to provide a portable API for most useful and common programming tasks. It aims at providing services for the following tasks among others: strings, file I/O, logging & error recovery, memory management, base conversion, date & time, sorting & searching, hashing, lists, queues, stacks, trees & other abstract data structures, random numbers, crypto, database, graphs.

Coming from this crowd, it will certainly be the most nit-picked library around :-) That's a good thing. -- Al Balmer in comp.lang.c

While everyone is welcome to submit their code for the library, all design and implementation details should be submitted for approval in comp.lang.c. This ensures the overall quality of the library. Google archives clearly indicate the amount of hot debate poured into the crafting of the library.
