Camelot is a hardened standard library replacement for C23.
Engineered to eliminate the fragility of legacy libc paradigms, Camelot prioritizes memory safety, architectural rigor, and zero-cost abstractions. It serves as a foundational kernel for high-reliability software, replacing manual management with strict automated lifecycles. It is not merely a library, but a rigorous standard for the modern C systems engineer.
The framework functions via four distinct, non-overlapping pillars:
| Component | Stack | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Memory Engine |  |
O(1) linear allocation (Workspaces) with automated RAII cleanup. |
| Data Layout |  |
Immutable string views and slices to eliminate redundant copying. |
| Safety Protocol |  |
Deterministic error handling and compiler-enforced state checks. |
| Build System |  |
Portable artifact generation and strict ASC-1.2 separation. |
Camelot is a developer-first, source-available kernel. We do not ship pre-compiled binaries; you compile the framework directly alongside your project to ensure ABI compatibility and optimization.
