Includes cross-platform primitives, configuration, data structures, and error handling.\n\n## License\n\nThis library is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.\n\n## Usage\n### Building\naws-c-common uses CMake for setting up build environments. This library has no non-kernel dependencies so the build is quite\nsimple.\n\nFor example:\n\n    git clone git@github.com:awslabs/aws-c-common.git aws-c-common\n    mkdir aws-c-common-build\n    cd aws-c-common-build\n    cmake ../aws-c-common\n    make -j 12\n    make test\n    sudo make install\n\nKeep in mind that CMake supports multiple build systems, so for each platform you can pass your own build system\nas the `-G` option. For example:\n\n    cmake -GNinja ../aws-c-common\n    ninja build\n    ninja test\n    sudo ninja install\n\nOr on windows,\n\n    cmake -G \"Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64\" ../aws-c-common\n    msbuild.exe ALL_BUILD.vcproj\n\n### CMake Options\n* -DCMAKE_CLANG_TIDY=/path/to/clang-tidy (or just clang-tidy or clang-tidy-7.0 if it is in your PATH) - Runs clang-tidy as part of your build.\n* -DENABLE_SANITIZERS=ON - Enables gcc/clang sanitizers, by default this adds -fsanitizer=address,undefined to the compile flags for projects that call aws_add_sanitizers.\n* -DENABLE_FUZZ_TESTS=ON - Includes fuzz tests in the unit test suite. Off by default, because fuzz tests can take a long time. Set -DFUZZ_TESTS_MAX_TIME=N to determine how long to run each fuzz test (default 60s).\n* -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install - Standard way of installing to a user defined path. If specified when configuring aws-c-common, ensure the same prefix is specified when configuring other aws-c-* SDKs.\n* -DAWS_STATIC_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY=ON - Windows-only. Turn ON to use the statically-linked MSVC runtime lib, instead of the DLL.\n\n### API style and conventions\nEvery API has a s",
