Fallbacks of standard macros and functions (Work in progress)

unic

Standard macros and functions prepended with unic_ (Work in progress). I pronounce unic as unique, please avoid confusion by doing likewise.

About

Originally named fbstdc (because I hadn't thought of a good name yet). UniC stands for Universal C, as it's name implies aims to use universal C where ever possible, in practice this means as much as possible restricting code to C89 format & api, system level stuff will just get a wrapper.

Original Info

I often run into differences in various standard headers and am tired of re-wrapping around them, to avoid this problem I'm doing these headers from the ground up while defaulting to what is already provided and just adding in fallbacks for anything not defined, my projects will be adapted to use these headers instead so that I may stop thinking about if something is defined and simply use it, the only exceptions being ones like int8_t which depend on exact width, I typically use flexible width integers like intptr_t so those will not be an issue to me.

Modified Info

Similar to musl in purpose but with unic prepended to names, when in UNIC_FALLBACK is defined then the headers will check if original macros and functions are defined, if they're not and unic has the matching function/macro available then it will define them like this: #define name unic_name having unic prepended to the names means unic headers can be included along side the original stdc headers without issue, the only difference is inlcuding an extra libraries like this -l unic (or for certain compilers /l unic). For system stuff like /proc unic will provide handles via it's own api instead, the api is yet to be decided as gasp is currently the experimentation ground for that.
