This is a simple IRC server based on the RFC 2812 and following the C++ 98 standard. Even though this project mainly follows the RFC, it was not necessary by the Subject PDF, so some behaviours might differentiate from the original protocol. This is the first big project during our 42 Core Curriculum that we had to write in C++. The Server follows the reactor design pattern and therefore handles concurrent service requests from one or more inputs by dispatching them synchronously to the associated request handlers.
The Project was mainly tested on macOS.
To connect to the server, you need to use an IRC Client that terminates packages with \r\n.
I used WeeChat as a reference client.
brew install weechat
weechat- Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/42sin/ft_irc.git && cd ft_irc
