>Disclaimer: This library is not related to the MISRA C standard or guidelines. The name "MisraStdC" comes from the author's name, Siddharth Mishra, who is commonly known as "Misra" among friends.

Why include the letters Std then? This seems like a purposeful typo-squatting effort and definitely makes me suspicious.

[donperignon]

Wow! Thanks for pointing that out, so misleading…

[brightprogramer]

yep, glad you pointed that out. To explain a bit more : MisraStdC is 3 parts : Misra + Std + C - Misra is derived from my name. That's why I needed to specify that the repo is not related to the MISRA standard.

How does MisraStdC = Siddharth Mishra?

Misra and not Mishra? You randomly drop the h? And it just so happens dropping the H makes it a typo squat basically.

Siddharth has a T after the D. So std should be sdt.. at best.

Just be honest lol

[brightprogramer]

Std is short for standard :-) It's pretty std.

[typpilol]

That doesn't explain the worst part though. Why drop a random H?

[dkenyser]

You do understand people's concern here though right?

Because it seems like you're being purposefully obtuse at this point.

[donperignon]

Thanks for the clarification but it makes zero sense

[brightprogramer]

because it's my personal standard. I use it more than I use standard C utils.

Did you really take the name mishra and make it into misra.h then call your library MisraStdC and expect people to believe the confusion isn't intentional? This whole thing feels incredibly dishonest.

Ok I'm saying this for the last time so I'll over-explain so everyone can follow the idea properly.

Not all people can pronounce names correctly. In a language some names are easier to pronounce if you take away a few letters. Some may find using Sid as short form for Siddharth, because it's just easier.

Now from my childhood, some friends used to pronounce my name differently. I noticed that they don't use the 'h' in Mishra, so I started using 'Misra' instead. They found it easier to pronounce and I felt connected more. Those who could pronounce it correctly, still used Misra because it's just easier and sounds more personal. Friends and loved ones do that. It's also sometimes called as a nickname, where you give other names to a loved one.

Now, it also just happens that my native language has the same root word for Misra and Mishra aaaand they mean the same! It essentially means a mixture of different things.

Now even if all this this reason does not sound good to you, just ignore it. It is my project, my name. I can pronounce however I want, with whatever spelling I want. A project is named by it's maintainer. I can name it exactly MISRA and still be happy with it because it's my project, I'm the maintainer.

I did mention that this is not related to the MISRA standard because I felt like users should know and not confuse it with my library.

I tried to ignore this matter but people over internet just keep poking you saying you're dishonest. Please don't bother yourself with the name of things, just use it if you need it otherwise ignore it. It's an advice for life. Name of things does not matter, it's what they do and achieve. I've put honest work into this library and I won't accept someone sitting behind a screen just say that I'm dishonest, I'm purposefully choosing this name. It is my name, I chose it, names clash in this world at least. Two entities can have same name but of different origin and use case.

Thanks for reading this if you read it till here.

Did you really think naming something MisraStdC, then posting it to the internet, then rationalizing it wouldn't be noticed?

It's not even your name or a standard.

It really looks like you are trying to name it something that people would find from searches then somehow walk it back and come with a story after.

[selimthegrim]

While I do think there might be some squatting here, I have to defend that dropping the h is also a common spelling of that name.
