pawn-stdlib

The Pawn Standard Library Package, not including any files related to SA:MP - designed for the sampctl package management system.

Why?

The package management system built into the sampctl tool is based on GitHub (Similar to that of the Go language) so it simplifies the process to have the standard library stored here on GitHub too. This means there doesn't need to be any special-case code written for the standard library, it can just be a package like all others.

pawn-stdlib's Issues

new added?

Consistent function naming

While these includes originally used lowercase naming, most of the rest of the SA:MP community - including the official includes and major includes and plugins use UpperCase. The naming here is somewhat legacy and should be brought up to date:

#pragma deprecated Use `FuncIDX`.
native funcidx(const name[]);
native FuncIDX(const name[]) = funcidx;

Releases

If someone isn't using sampctl, it might still be useful to have both this repo and sampctl/samp-stdlib as download points for improved versions of the standard libraries that we can point people to when they ask questions (or even if they don't). However, since the two are separated for convenience in sampctl it could be good to have identical releases in both repos with all the standard includes from both in them. Just as an easy "download this for betterness" link.

`printf` double declaration.

console.inc has:

// Don't define "printf" twice.
#tryinclude <a_samp>
#if defined _samp_included
	#endinput
#endif

Which only works when you want a_samp AND are including in the correct order. If you write an NPC script you want a_npc instead. If you want to redefine certain constants you may include console.inc before you want to include a_samp. a_samp already includes the other includes, so I think console.inc should be added to that list, and this check removed.
