Going freestanding
In the world of programming, Go is a language that can be compiled to C code, creating a subset known as Solod. This subset aims to provide a Go-like experience while allowing the resulting code to be freestanding, independent of a standard library or specific operating system runtime. The author of Solod, who preferred writing C code with Go, decided to port Go's standard library to make as many packages as possible freestanding. This post describes the techniques used to achieve this goal.
