This repository is a curated list of resources for the C programming language, aiming to be a comprehensive index for developers. It covers a wide spectrum of C-related tools, libraries, and learning materials, from foundational standards and compilers to advanced topics like concurrency, networking, and graphics. The list is intended as a personal cheat sheet and search index, consolidating and categorizing resources from various existing "awesome-C" lists and beyond.

How It Works

The repository is structured into numerous categories, each containing links to relevant projects, tools, and documentation. It meticulously lists build systems (e.g., CMake, Meson), compilers (GCC, Clang, TCC), debugging tools (GDB, Valgrind), documentation generators (Doxygen), editors and their extensions, and utilities for code formatting, analysis, and more. It also includes extensive sections on reading materials (books, articles), algorithm implementations, data structures, networking libraries, and OS-specific development.

Quick Start & Requirements

This is a curated list, not a software project with installation instructions. To use it, simply browse the Markdown file.

Highlighted Details

• Comprehensive Scope: Covers nearly every aspect of C development, from low-level hardware interaction to high-level networking and GUI frameworks.
• Cross-Referencing: Integrates content from multiple existing "awesome-C" lists, aiming for broader coverage.
• Detailed Categorization: Organizes resources into granular categories for efficient searching and discovery.
• License Information: Explicitly lists the license for most included projects, aiding in compatibility assessment.

Maintenance & Community

The repository is maintained by Bfgeshka. Contributions are welcome. The primary link for updates is provided: https://notabug.org/bfgeshka/awesome-c.

Licensing & Compatibility

The list itself is not under a specific license, but the projects linked within it span a wide range of open-source licenses, including GPL (various versions), MIT, Apache 2, BSD, ISC, and others. Users must consult the individual licenses of the linked projects for compatibility and usage restrictions.

Limitations & Caveats

The list's primary limitation is its nature as a curated index rather than a functional tool. The quality and maintenance status of individual linked projects vary, and users must evaluate each resource independently. The author explicitly states they are not an attorney, and license information should be verified.
