You know, I wish #C compilers had a super strict warning compiler flag, I know there's -Wall, but it doesn't actually turn on all warnings oddly enough.

C could probably be almost as safe as memory-safe languages if the programmer didn't have to pass 30 different warning flags, link with ASAN and UBsan, pass mysterious -f compiler flags, pass odd macro flags like _D_FORTIFY_SOURCE, etc.

You know, doing Object-like programming in #C does feel a bit wrong. But I can't deny it makes the code cleaner to look at!

Life hack I discovered:

Getting #chatgpt to write #POSIX functions in #win32 api so I can port my shit more easily. lol

Sure, I have to fix the functions sometimes, but hey, they work and give me a starting point without researching the extremely confusing win32 #C api

For anyone who does a lot of #unix and #C stuff and wants to make sure your stuff works across #Linux, #BSD, #Mac and #Illumos. This is a really useful site: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/

Everything here is almost guaranteed to be on every #POSIX system

I just did #OOP in #C... This is kind of cursed lol

Macro functions in #C makes manipulating strings just a bit more tolerable lol

Making a program in #C after taking a break from it to use #Vala. I had almost forgotten how ass strings were =P

You know, it's always really cool looking at the generated #C code from #Vala. Makes me realize how much time I saved lol

So, i'm making a library of functions that I constantly re-create for my #C programs. I'm calling it #libcharadon (creative, I know), and it has no dependencies and is written in gnu99 standard.

No repo for it yet, but I'm wanting to make it easy to add as a submodule for #meson projects.

Welp, after a few days. I'd say my #sh2exe project is complete! Come check it out!

Welp, I've tested on most platforms, and my Pong game works perfectly. So I'm probably gonna release v1.0 today, and finally move on from this spaghetti code of a project lmao

It has been tested and works for: #Linux #Windows #Mac #NetBSD #OpenBSD #FreeBSD #Solaris #Illumos #OpenIndiana

It probably works on #DragonflyBSD and #MidnightBSD too.

It'll be published here: https://www.opencode.net/charadon/Pong-C

Welp, my pong game works perfectly on #OpenBSD!

I've been busy today for the most part, but I managed to squeeze in a little bit of #rust practice.

• I did some fiddling around with println
• Used cargo for a bit, and like it. But seriously, vendor your dependencies people...
• Messed around with threading and atomics, works a lot like how SDL abstracts it on #C

@mo8it@fosstodon.org Maybe. I do like how simple #C is though, I make mostly non-security critical applications (Games, basic non-internet connected applications, etc), so I never really have to worry about security, therefore I can do some funky shit in C lmao

I love #C, but strings make me want to die sometimes...
