======

aka Minimalistic C run-rime library for D.

A principled Win32/64 C standard library with focus on simplicity and speed.

See also musl project as examplar POSIX project with simillar goals, 

barring this project's D-centric name.

Goals

- no dependencies on CRT of _any_ kind; only (kernel32.dll & ntdll.dll)

- no conflicts with other CRTs, suitable for any 3rd party D compiler

- route most "stuff" to user-mode OS API, as of Win2000+ Win32 has TONS of good stuff

- minimal binary ( < X Kb ) and source code size ( < 2KLOC)

- Opensource with Boost license

- UTF8/16 as the only codepages supported, char* functions are UTF-8 

- ARM & x86_64 ready

Specifically its primary use case is a slickest CRT drop-in repalcement 

library for the D programming language on Windows.

 

What is not a goal:

- full pedantic ANSI compatibility (I don't care much but if anything I look at ersatz C11)

- typical non-standard extensions

- redoing FP math (as D has it's own and superior alternative)

- *any* kind of support for versions of Windows that MS itself doesn't support
