/*
 * Auxiliary macros and functions for the C standard library
 *
 * The `c-stdaux.h` header contains a collection of auxiliary macros and helper
 * functions around the functionality provided by the different C standard
 * library implementations, as well as other specifications implemented by
 * them.
 *
 * Most of the helpers provided here provide aliases for common library and
 * compiler features. Furthermore, several helpers simply provide other calling
 * conventions than their standard counterparts (e.g., they allow for NULL to
 * be passed with an object length of 0 where it makes sense to accept empty
 * input).
 *
 * The namespace used by this project is:
 *
 *  * `c_*` for all common C symbols or definitions that behave like proper C
 *    entities (e.g., macros that protect against double-evaluation would use
 *    lower-case names)
 *
 *  * `C_*` for all constants, as well as macros that may not be safe against
 *    double evaluation.

 * triggered.
 *
 * This helper should be avoided whenever possible. However, occasionally we
 * really want to shut up gcc (especially with static/inline functions). In
 * those cases, gcc usually cannot deduce that some error paths are guaranteed
 * to be taken. Hence, making the return value explicit allows gcc to better
 * optimize the code.

 * calls or syscalls, not setting 'errno' correctly.
