“1. Portability: The main issue that haunts any C
developer is the portability of code. One cannot rely on the
standard C library for this as you may find many functions that
work differently under different platforms are aren’t there at all
sometimes. GLib ensures that the all the functionality exposed by
it remains consistent across platforms, so that you can rest
assured that your code will work the way its supposed to work
irrespective of the Operating System it’s being used
for.”
