• My review of the C standard library in practice

  There are many libraries available that you can use as a libc replacement instead of CCAN, if that’s what you prefer [1-3]. Taking on a beefy dependency like that can be overkill, though, if all you need is a linked list or dynamic array implementation.

• Is there a custom "C Standard Library" out there?

  There are many. APR is one of them. APR stands for Apache Portable Runtime. It includes arrays(aprarray) and hash tables(aprhash), but not trees. Source: over 1 year ago

• A C Standard Library

  A library that already implements some of this called libapr is what I’d consider a good example of libraries of this Ilk. Source: over 2 years ago

• Git's list of banned C functions

  It's not really complacency: it's that the standard library is intentionally minimalistic to maintain portability and backwards compatibility. If you want sensible string handling, it's usually best to use a high level utility library like GLib(https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/) or Apache Portable Runtime(http://apr.apache.org/), or roll your own safe string type (preferably non-null terminating). - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
