It appears to be a subset of libc that depends on libc and is slower than libc in almost all respects. I'm not sure what the author was going for here, but it would be advisable to use libc instead of Refu in all instances where one might think to use Refu

Hello TodPunk. Your statement unfortunately currently stands true. I am going for a monolithic collection of low level to high level C libraries that can be modulary used for different purposes. I hope to achieve it sometime in the future.

It is in its very first stage and I just put it up in the net to get some feedback slowly. I certainly did not want it posted in HN yet but someone caught up with it and did it for me.

As I said to the other commenter any feedback with contstructive criticism is greatly appreciated. It is the first time I show my code to other people.

My only advice would be to ditch libc dependencies and build out things from scratch, and try for simpler approaches. I think you'll find the excercise good for you as a programmer, and good for your project here. Looking at a current libc implementation may help.

I will consider your feedback. I agree that libc dependencies should be minimized or even cut off completely but as I told you before the project just began and as such still has to have some minor dependencies. As with anything else free time is all that's needed for things to get implemented.

Thanks.
