These are C files I noticed myself copying into a lot of different projects. Mostly this is inspired by the stb libraries, and I more or less stole the idea to use a single "implement.c" files from that project.

All of these files are .h files. Just include them in the usual way, but in ONE C file, do something like:

#define MM_IMPLEMENT
#include "vector.h"
#include "mm_err.h"
//etc.

When the MM_IMPLEMENT macro is defined, the many #ifdef statements in the headers will actually define functions rather than just the prototypes.

The mm_err.h, list.h, and vector.h headers have stabilized. The mm_err.h header has a big detailed comment at the top explaining how to use it. The list.h header uses the same API as the Linux kernel linked lists. I still need to write some detailed documentation for using vector.h, probably in the form of examples.

The http_parse.h and websock.h headers are part of an ongoing project to write webapps in C. I assume most people reading this are immediately thinking I'm an idiot for wanting to do web dev in C, but hey, it's my life and my code, so quit judging me already! Currently I want to add a little bit more functionality and I desperately want to remove the dependency on OpenSSL (I just need to get around to providing a SHA-1 implementation, which I may end up needing to do myself).

Also, I'm currently prototyping a hash table implementation here. It's still a little too rough for me to put in this repo. The HTTP and WebSockets code is actually functional and the API is what I want it to be, but I still have a lot of design decisions left for the hash table. The biggest issue is that I want to preserve type safety and readability of user code, but it's not really going well.

I have several projects that use tokenizing, and I've been trying to come with an idea for a simple tokenizer API. Sadly, I've never written any tokenizing code that I was ultimately happy with.
