Cello is a programming language extension for C that provides a higher-level implementation of the language. It integrates an object-oriented framework, an automated garbage collection system, and a runtime reflection library to enable dynamic type inspection.
The project implements a structured system for object orientation within C, including support for classes, type classes, and polymorphism. It includes a runtime exception handling system to intercept execution errors and initiate recovery procedures.
The framework further provides generic programming capabilities for creating reusable data structures and functions. It also manages object lifecycles through automated constructor and destructor logic to ensure consistent resource setup and cleanup.
