Smart pointers for the C programming language

In plain words

libcsptr is a library that implements smart pointers for the C programming language, providing automatic memory management capabilities. It is designed for C developers who want to reduce manual memory handling and avoid common pointer-related bugs. The library uses reference counting and scope-based cleanup to manage memory automatically, making it useful for developers working with GNU C who prefer higher-level memory abstractions without switching languages.
