Top 12 Libc Open-Source Projects

  • cosmopolitan

    build-once run-anywhere c library

    • Project mention: Python Is Portable | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-15

    The reality is a bit different, the work on Python 3.6 was checked into the Cosmopolitan repo and I have been able to use it for production workloads that are in pure python. [0]

    As Cosmopolitan Libc has evolved, it has been possible to compile more software without modifications, and that includes latest Python through a project called superconfigure[1].

    Last person who tried to reproduce it from scratch did it last week (granted it too them a few days of solid work) but in the end they ended with a portable binary with Python 3.11.9, brotli, ssl and asyncio for their work related project.[2]

  • nix

    Rust friendly bindings to *nix APIs (by nix-rust)

  • printf

    Tiny, fast, non-dependent and fully loaded printf implementation for embedded systems. Extensive test suite passing.

  • ltp

    Linux Test Project (mailing list: https://lists.linux.it/listinfo/ltp)

    • Project mention: Ext4 data corruption in stable kernels [LWN.net] | /r/linux | 2023-12-09

    Can anyone verify that this only happens under O_DIRECT? I see that the original bug report references preadv03, a test case which uses O_DIRECT.

  • one_gadget

    The best tool for finding one gadget RCE in libc.so.6

  • z88dk

    The development kit for over a hundred z80 family machines - c compiler, assembler, linker, libraries.

    • Project mention: Best practice to store context for a C compiler | /r/Compilers | 2023-06-20

    z88dk

  • nanoprintf

    The smallest public printf implementation for its feature set.

    • Project mention: nanoprintf VS callback_printf - a user suggested alternative | libhunt.com/r/nanoprintf | 2023-08-16

  • ghost

    Ghost, a micro-kernel based hobby operating system. (by maxdev1)

  • libc

    libc targeted for embedded systems usage. Reduced set of functionality (due to embedded nature). Chosen for portability and quick bringup. (by embeddedartistry)

  • c-ward

    An implementation of libc written in Rust

    • Project mention: New Linux glibc flaw lets attackers get root on major distros | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-04

    Yeah it would. There are a few attempts, such as C-gull (https://github.com/sunfishcode/c-ward/tree/main/c-gull#readm...).

    > c-gull is a libc implementation. It is an implementation of the ABI described by the libc crate.

    > Currently it only supports --linux-gnu ABIs, though other ABIs could be added in the future. And currently this mostly focused on features needed by Rust programs, so it doesn't have all the C-idiomatic things like qsort yet, but they could be added in the future.

  • cosmonim

    A Nim template to compile your code with the Cosmopolitan libc

    • Project mention: D Programming Language | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-03

    In a word, yes.

    In more words: You should be able to use Cosmopolitan libc: https://github.com/Yardanico/cosmonim

    If something does not work for you, Yardanico is super duper helpful in all things Nim.

    Nim also compiles to Javascript (nim js) and C++ for integration with legacy codebases, but that is probably more to the side of your interests.

  • platform_bionic

    Hardened Android standard C library. Some of the past hardening has not yet been ported from Marshmallow, Nougat and Oreo to this Android Pie repository. Most is available via archived tags in https://github.com/AndroidHardeningArchive/platform_bionic (check both the most recent Oreo and Nougat tags). (by GrapheneOS)
