Libft

Custom C library to replace some standard libc functions

This was an introductory project for Hive Helsinki, the Finnish branch of the 42 Coding School network.

The assignment was to re-code from scratch the functionality of a subset of the standard libc functions, to learn to code in C as well as have a base library which to build upon as we are prohibited from using most built-in standard library functions in our projects.

The version tagged old is the first state of the project to pass the evaluations. (Hivers III old curriculum, Norm v3)

The functions feature:

• Counting
• String manipulation
• Memory operations
• Heap allocation / free
• Array operations
• Comparison
• Iteration / recursion

With bonuses regarding linked lists and custom functions.

Installation

cd into the root folder and make with the appropriate rules to compile libft, then link it with your own programs. See Makefile for further details.

The supported standard targets are:

• all : (default) standard deployment build
• clean : remove object files
• fclean : remove objects and binary
• re : full rebuild

In addition you can use the following, defined in config.mk:

• W|BUILD_STRICT : build with stricter -W flags, useful during development
• O|BUILD_OPTIMAL : build with heavier optimization
• D|BUILD_DEBUG : build with debug symbols and fsanitize

Plus a utility command for running Norminette on the project:
norme

TODO:

• .so target (mainly to support the testers on linux)
