About:
Libcello is a garbage-collected, object-oriented extension for the C programming language. It provides high-level data structures, syntax sugar, and automatic memory management to simplify development. This allows developers to write more expressive and maintainable code while retaining C's performance.
Key Features:
  • Automatic garbage collection
  • Object-oriented syntax extensions
  • Rich collection of data structures
  • Seamless C interoperability
Use Cases:
  • Rapid prototyping in C
  • Building complex applications with manual memory management overhead
  • Learning object-oriented concepts in a C environment
Alternatives:
  • Boehm GC – Provides conservative garbage collection for C, but lacks Libcello's high-level object syntax and data structures.
  • GLib – Offers data structures and utilities for C, but does not provide garbage collection or language-level object extensions.
