Libtypes is a micro-library that defines a saner set of base types and names. It:

• typedefs shorter names for the base types, such as ullong instead of unsigned long long;
• defines an ordering enum type, ord, with values LT, EQ or GT;
• #undefs the bool macro provided by stdbool.h, and re-declares bool as a typedef of _Bool - this allows for code generation using the "bool" keyword;
• includes the libc headers that define or typedef more standardized types such as size_t or int16_t;
• defines a tuple for each type by ( type, typename, funcname ), where typename is the name of the type in "generic" structs (e.g. Vector_int), and funcname is the name of the type in "generic" functions (e.g. int__add).

The included libc headers have a // @export beside them to indicate that users of the header file can depend on those header files being included within.

I'll tag a new major version if I change anything, or add anything outside of the libtypes_ namespace. Every version tag will be signed with my GPG key (fingerprint: 0xD020F814).

Libtypes is available at Gitorious, Bitbucket, and GitHub.
