  The one big downside I see is that if you want to actually work on the library itself, it's a pain to have to re-compile the entire thing every time you change something.

  Nuklear (https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear) uses separate files with a deploy script that combines them all into a single header; I think that approach is quicker for iterating on the code.

  Project mention: Show HN: I made a library for dynamic stack strings in C | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-25

  I've been playing with this arena bump allocator.

  https://github.com/gilzoide/c-allocators

  I've been using it with an event driven code where after an event is fired off and returns the handler just hard resets the arena.

  You could probably use something like that as well.

  Either way I support not mixing manual memory management with business logic.
