Libporty

Libporty is a lightweight portability lib configured by scconfig. It's been tested on various different UNIX and BSD systems, including OSX, and on Linux and Windows. The whole project is written in ANSI C, and does not depend on m4. Only scripting dependencies are (traditional) make and (traditional/POSIX) shell.

If a project is written in ANSI C (C89) and uses any extra feature exclusively from libporty, it will also work on all systems libporty works on. To assist developers in using libporty the Right Way, a lint-like utility called porty is included in the project. Porty can be used to validate C sources for portability.

Documentation is split in the same manner as the project is split:

libporty, a lightweight portability library
porty, a lint-like tool for validating C sources for portability
c99tree, C code analysis tool that dumps AST of a C source file

License for libporty is LGPLv2, for c99tree is mixed BSD and GPLv2 and for porty is GPLv2. To get the latest version, check out the code from the public svn repository: svn://repo.hu/libporty/trunk. Official releases are also available.
