- Portable Coroutine Library http://www.xmailserver.org/libpcl.html
Curses
Curses provides terminal independent control of a terminal, especially with respect to display but in newer incarnations a nice degree of independence for input as well.
- ncurses: http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html
- pdcurses: http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/
- T.E.Dickey's curses development kit: http://invisible-island.net/cdk
Debugging
- Fred Fish's DBUG library, a macro-based debugging library
- The GNU Project Debugger (GDB) -- Several projects derive from this, including Data Display Debugger (DDD), which shows datastructures graphically, and CGDB, which shows the relevant lines in source code as a program is stepped through.
- NoBug Debugging support
Strings
- Better String Library (bstring) http://bstring.sf.net/
- GLib has strings http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/glib/glib-string-utility-functions.html
- OSSP str http://www.ossp.org/pkg/lib/str/
- Vstr (written by our own geppetto), a string library designed to work optimally with readv and writev: http://www.and.org/vstr/
The Vstr site has a review of numerous string libraries, including all the above, at http://www.and.org/vstr/comparison.html
Tools and Utilities
