libcsptr is a small C library that brings smart pointer constructs (unique_ptr, shared_ptr, and a smart type attribute) to GNU C. It supports destructors and custom metadata on allocation, and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows via GCC-compatible compilers.

Use cases

  • automatic memory management in C
  • avoid memory leaks in C programs
  • use unique_ptr and shared_ptr in C
  • attach destructors to C allocations
  • RAII-style cleanup in C code

When to choose

  • you write GNU C with GCC or Clang and want automatic cleanup
  • you need shared or unique pointer semantics without switching to C++
  • you want a small MIT-licensed memory management library

When to avoid

  • you use compilers without GNU extensions (MSVC)
  • you need actively developed features or long-term support
  • you can use C++ and its native smart pointers instead
