A collection of utilities for development in C and C++. Including some basic data structures, hash functions, and headache free IO functions to replace some of the functionality of stdio.h's scanf functions.
Safe replacements for some Standard C Library functions. grabline() in particular is a safe replacement for fgets() / gets(). Grabword can often be used effectively in place of getchar() / getc() / fgetc().
Each function automatically handles different types of line endings (CR / LF) in a sane way. Never have to worry about eating the newline.
Functions include:
- grabword() : get the next whitespace delimited word from the input stream
- grabline() : get the next line of text from the input stream
- grabfield() : get the next TAB delimited field from the input stream
Each function returns a dynamically sized string that must be freed by the caller. All will return NULL on an error or the end of input.
A C library implementing of some of the most common data structures with an easy-to-use interface. It works with any data type because data is stored in a generic byte array. This will require you to recast some pointers returned by data.h to the correct data type.
Each data structure keeps track of the "current working position", and most of the function calls operate at, or modify the current position. The data.h header contains details for the use of each function.
Data structure types include:
- List: a general list that is also used to implement stacks and queues
- Circular List
- Binary Search Tree
Future plans include:
- Splay Trees
- k Trees
- General Trees
- heaps
- Hash Tables
- Dynamic Arrays
Types include:
- The integer types:
int8_t,int16_t,int32_t, andint64_t - Limits for the integer types
bool,true,falseNULLsize_tuint,umax, andimax
I'm not much of a hashing nut, I just wanted something that would work reasonably well. These hashes may not be the fastest or best, nor are they meant to produce consistent results cross-platform, but they work.
Hash Functions implemented:
- hash_a : based on FVN-1a
- hash_b : based on murmur
- hash_c : based on murmur3
- hash_d : based on newhash
Functions include:
- array_hash() : hash an array
- string_hash() : hash a null terminated string
- file_hash() : hash a file
Functions for logging to files and printing messages to stderr. Each message is tagged with the message's importance. There are various options for date and time tagging.
This project is using semantic versioning. As such, the API as documented in the header files and the project website will not change in an incompatible way unless there is a new major version number. Compatible changes are indicated by the minor version number.
- Standard C Library
- Lib-Util is built to the C11 standard. It may not build with lower versions.
