I just cloned the repository build it and did some tests with asio_httpd (and found a possible memory leak/fragmentation), overall it's well designed and coded. To build it I went to the xmake repository and through it also found this small and performant network library https://github.com/caikelun/libsvx .

Thank you for release this nice and util library !

The library looks neat but I'm horrified that he says "optimizates"... repeatedly. That is not a word. The word is "optimizes". The English pedant in me is having trouble getting past that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thought so too, but then I took a look at the code.

Anything in particular you could point out?

It looked pretty clean to me as well.

Strange that they don't use trailing commas in aggregate initializers though.

Judging by the site and the readme, it makes sense to assume that English is not the author's native language... It would make more sense to judge by the quality of the universal language there (C) and not half the readme (which can be easily fixed with a PR).

The English section of the readme looks like it's a more-or-less literal translation of the Chinese section, so I think we can forgive a little spelling when it's clear his native language isn't English.

well, the coder is at least saying "optimizates", I have no clue what I would say "optimizes" in chinese, he is way better off than me!

This wins the "Fucking Sweet" award for being hypothetically useful. In reality... not so much.

On the contrary, my opinion of it is very boring but very useful.

It's the sort of thing one inevitably ends up with after enough C development, but this looks much more complete than average.

Looks like a comprehensive and mature personal toolbox, which one would accumulate over years of working on C projects. Not exactly easy to reuse due to the lack of documentation and other reasons, but totally worthy of sharing nonetheless. A very interesting read.

It's actually well documented, it's just that it's in Chinese

Sorry, my English is poor, I will try to fix some grammar errors

No problem. Sorry, I didn't realise English was your second language. Nice work on the library.
