Re:RGFW: Single-header C99 window abstraction library by colleagueRiley on Saturday November 23, 2024 @10:31PM (#42225733)
Well for one you're able to easily use macros to customize features you want and don't want. Plus "forcing me to figure out the specific XYZ_IMPLEMENTATION" is a big of a weird compliant. You could say the same thing about linking a library. Besides, it's not hard to figure out and is usually one of the first lines of the file.

The single-header format also gives you MORE ways to compile the library and control which features to use or not use.

I am not say it is hard. But I find having a .c/.h pair more useful and easier to work with.

No lol

Because looking up a macro name for each library is easier than adding a c file to your makefile? You could still always do

  #include "impl.c"
and this would still be nicer than

  #define XZUGG_IMPL
  #include "impl.h"
