Show HN: Easy alternative to giflib – header-only decoder in C

https://github.com/Ferki-git-creator/TurboStitchGIF-HeaderOnly-Fast-ZeroAllocation-PlatformIndependent-Embedded-C-GIF-Decoder
17•FerkiHN•15h ago
Hi HN, I made a lightweight, header-only GIF decoder in C, inspired by stb-style libraries. No dynamic allocation, portable, and optimized for embedded devices.

GitHub: https://github.com/Ferki-git-creator/TurboStitchGIF-HeaderOn...

Would love feedback or suggestions.

Comments

FerkiHN•15h ago
I made this to replace giflib for embedded and low-resource use cases. It's:

header-only (drop-in),

zero-allocation (you provide the buffer),

faster LZW decoding (turbo mode),

compatible with C89 environments, etc.

Happy to get feedback or suggestions!

Listing code size numbers for arm-none-eabi-gnu might be good advertisement (compile/"size" output of a file using all the functions is enough, no need to figure out some target to link or have a main() for)

> compatible with C89 environments

What do you mean by this? Because the code I'm looking at does not appear to be C89.

anitil•2h ago
Very nice project, interesting that there's a couple header-only projects on the front page today [0].
