'''Hinterlib''', often referred to jointly with its [[#Neopolitan|Cosmopolitan-based sister project]] as '''Hinterlib/Neopolitan''', is a <tt>libc</tt> surrogate library created by [[User:Alexander|Alexander Nicholi]] as a more embedded-friendly surrogate to use than alternatives like {{wp|GLib}} or {{gh|wolkykim/qlibc|qLibc}}.

==History==
Hinterlib was originally created under the name '''unilib''' on Christmas Day, 2019. Starting with semantic version 1.2, it was split from a monolithic library into several more modular libraries.

==Features==
Hinterlib provides many useful utilities that are staples of application and library programming, including error reporting, crash-first programming tools, debug I/O wrappers, string manipulation, containers, high-level memory management, and succinct notations for data types of integers, floating-point numbers, and geometric primitives. It also tries to support compiler intrinsics for things like SIMD operations and exact-width integers which are non-standard in ANSI C.

==Neopolitan==
While Hinterlib supports many target platforms, Neopolitan was created to target the special ''Actually Portable Executable'' format created by {{gh|jart|Justine Tunney}}. Its name is a derivative of the reference implementation of APE, called {{gh|jart/cosmopolitan|Cosmopolitan <tt>libc</tt>}}. It was created because it is not a platform to be targeted in the usual sense, and also because APE's fixed, x86-64 only ABI allows the creation of additional types that escape the practical limits on complexity imposed upon Hinterlib for the sake of portability.
