rulibc / rust

Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

rulibc

rulibc is a portable POSIX C standard library written in Rust. It is under heavy development, and currently supports Windows, Linux and Redox. This is the fork of relibc(https://github.com/redox-os/relibc) for more focusing on win32/linux support. Other platform may also considerte if anybody interested to contribute.

glibc/musl alternative on linux world.

redox support will alomost unchanged with the upstream https://github.com/redox-os/relibc

The motivation for this project is:

• Create a safer alternative to a C standard library written in C.
• On Windows, as a alternative to msvcrt/mingw32 crt, but also support for possible posix api, it's can be used cl/gcc/clang on windows
• On Linux, remove the need of musl/glibc, and create glibc compatiable api set. It supports linux syscalls via the sc crate.
• Reduce issues the redox crew was having with newlib,
