| Reid has a standard library that is referred to as `std` in code. Documentation | ||||

| ## Syntax and general information | ||||

| Syntax for Reid is very much inspired by rust, and examples of the language can | ||||

| ### `pub fn print(message: String)` | ||||
| #### `pub fn print(message: String)` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Prints given `message` to the standard output | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### `pub fn allocate(size: u64) -> *u8` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Unsafely allocates `size` bytes of memory from the stack, and returns a pointer to it, which must be manually freed. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### `pub fn new_string() -> String` | ||||
| #### `pub fn new_string() -> String` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Returns a new empty `String`-object, which must later be manually freed. | ||||
|

| ### `pub fn from_str(string: *char) -> String` | ||||
| #### `pub fn from_str(string: *char) -> String` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Creates a new `String`-object containing initially data from the given string-literal which must be later freed. | ||||

 | ||||
| #### `pub fn clamp(min: f32, max: f32, value: f32) -> f32` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Returns `value` as clamped between `min` and `max`. Equivalent to `max(min(value, max), min)` | ||||
