Question

Is there a C strings library for C (not C++) that implements an abstraction over char * and wchar_t * strings?

The requirements are:

1. to be BSD/MIT/CDDL licenced
2. implements some kind of reference count mechanism
3. has support for regular expressions
4. has Unicode support

Thanks,

I’ve ended up using Plan9 libraries. For Unix there’s plan9port or the more lightweight 9base. For windows I use a custom the port that come with Go.
