# libooc
A tiny C library for object-oriented programming using ordinary C structs and function-pointer vtables. It provides object allocation, virtual destructors, intrusive reference counting, runtime class metadata, name-based field access, and a small interface header.

## Portability
The library API is standard C and has no third-party dependencies. The supplied Makefile uses conventional POSIX/Unix build tools and produces both shared and static libraries. Other platforms can use the same source/API with their native build system if their shared-library conventions differ.
