The relationship between c-scape and c-gull is: - c-gull: uses std and c-scape. - c-scape: does not use std. This means c-scape can be used by std, and c-gull can't be. But it also means that c-gull can easily implement many more C features. This PR adds: - timezone functions using the tz-rs crate - stdio functions using the printf-compat crate - random functions using the rand crate - nss functions using the getent command c-gull is extraordinarily experimental.

Yes, c-scape is a pun about escape and the word seascape. c-gull is a pun about the sense of "gull" that means "imitation", and the word seagull. And perhaps there could be an image of a seagull sitting on the tall mast of a sturdy ship (std) floating upon a seascape, very loosely illustrating the dependency sequencing. The analogy isn't perfect, but it was the best I could think of without spending a lot more time thinking about it ;-). |
