#2Interesting project. We have a similar set of various cross-platform helpers for various C structures and tasks during all these years within Rizin - RzUtil[1][2]. They are more tightly coupled with each other though and is LGPLv3-licensed.

I think writing your own portable C functions is something every programmer wants to own at some point in their young career. Then you grow up and realize there are entire organizations that have spend tens of thousands of man-hours providing the same code, but done correctly and with intent (and consistent philosophy). GObject is that philosophy, but lots of people never hear about it until someone says "Why not use GObject?" :)

#5Good stuff. I may make use of the .ini parser as my current one doesn't handle sections.
There are a growing number of stand alone support modules in my projects that I need to publish as a collection some day. Here's a couple links to some of them:
- https://github.com/WickedSmoke/faun/tree/master/support
- https://github.com/xu4-engine/u4/tree/master/src/support
These include more exotic stuff like a grid based field-of-view calculation and a version of the sfxr synthesizer.

#6Why not use GObject?
Perhaps because it's licensed as LGPL, whereas this repo is BSD?

#7Good stuff. void* in itself is great for generics. C does support a templating system, like C++, with a little (reasonable) preprocessor abuse. It gives great cache contiguous results: https://www.github.com/glouw/ctl

GObject, the C++ implementation by a True C Believer.

Probably best to disclose you're pitching your own baby to us.
What do you feel this content adds in context of the article? I can't tell.
