ABOUT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ciabatta - An implementation of cross-platform C standard library with the
following goals:
- Providing C standard library that fully implements all C features. Some
standard libraries lack many features of C11 and C23, like threads.h or
aligned_alloc in case of msvcrt.
- Making standard library that is easy to port to other platforms, for example
an embedded platform or a custom operating system.
- Allowing applications to debug and step into standard library functions
- Reasonably fast CRT compared to MSVCRT and glibc.
- Extend the possibilities of C standard library with commonly used
functionality: implementing POSIX standard (including directories and
sockets), capability for unicode processing.
Ciabatta is not binary-compatible with other CRT libraries. That means that any
libraries that your project uses have to also be compiled with Ciabatta,
otherwise you might run into issues.
Please note that as of today ciabatta is still during development and does not
implement many of the features that need to be implemented. Using it at current
time is discouraged.

2. Grab the following files into your project's directory:
- The inc folder
- The ciabatta.lib archive file
- The utf8.obj object file
3. Add the following flags to your compilation command:
-I inc utf8.obj -nostdlib -mfma
4. Don't forget to link to the following libraries:
