TBOX is a glib-like cross-platform C library that is simple to use yet powerful in nature.

The project focuses on making C development easier and provides many modules (.e.g stream, coroutine, regex, container, algorithm ...),so that any developer can quickly pick it up and enjoy the productivity boost when developing in C language.

It supports the following platforms: Windows, Macosx, Linux, Android, iOS, *BSD and etc.

And it provides many compiling options usingxmake:

• Release: Disable debug information, assertion, memory checking and enable optimization.
• Debug: Enable debug information, assertion, memory checking and disable optimization.
• Small: Disable all extensional modules and enable space optimization.
• Micro: compiling micro library (~64K) for the embed system.
