Layered Open Source Software in C

[Shreyas]

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Does anyone know of any modern examples of open source software
implemented in ANSI-C using a truly layered architecture (preferably
in an OO fashion)?

I'd like to get a feel for what the industry best practices are in
ANSI-C these days. I'm reasonably experienced in C but I don't have
much experience writing layered code in it. I've mainly been using
structural decomposition for most of my programs.

Check out glib (http://developer.gnome.org/arch/gtk/glib.html), which
implements an impressive object and type system in C.

*splutter*

Coffee over the screen moment... this is utterly hilarious, and the
hubris is astonishing even by CBF standards.

Why? Taken out of context. I can't see a problem.
Oh wait, is is "debugger unfriendly"?
You aren't complaining about the *layout* are you?

Lurkers: Richard <unknownhas some odd ideas.

If that's what Richard <unknownis complaining about, I agree with him
(and CBFalconer most emphatically does not). However, making this much
fuss about such a minor point seems an overreaction (and therefore quite
typical of Richard <unknown>).

You are answering a pure troll. This applies to both Richard the
lastnameless and Twinkletoes. Their only objective appears to be
to disturb the newsgroup.
