nanolibc, Nanoscale libc implementation

nanolibc is a small subset of standard C library(libc) implementation.

nanolibc's primal usage is for embedded C programs, secure C/C++ programs, multithreaded C/C++ programs, and adding cross-platform JIT compilation of C/C++ application to your C/C++ application(MSVC, Linux, macOS)

Design direction

• May not implement legacy, unsecure functions(fopen, wordexp, ...)
• No global state as much as possible(e.g. no global error code)
• Functions withi interacts with system will be not implemented or no-op(e.g. system(), abort(), sbrk(), execve())

Requirements

• C11 compiler

Supported platform

• Windows(MSVCRT/uCRT) : Most of libc functions are deligated to the function in MSVCRT/uCRT.
• Linux : Use musl implementation, llvm libc.
• macOS : T.B.D.
