I'm tired of repeatedly searching for obscure patterns to remind myself how to accomplish some programming goal. This project will be a dumping ground for code that works for a variety of situations.
Each pattern will include a README file and a code file that can be compiled to perform some tests.
Rather than including a Makefile, each source file will
include a compile string in an EMACS file local variables
line. In EMACS, compile with M-x compile.
Look at this convenient tool that provides a convenient means for incorporating these modules into other projects.
-
Line-reading Function Collecting data from various sources usually requires processing files by line. The main function,
read_file_linesbuffers the contents of a file and invokes a callback function to present a line to be processed. -
commaize
This function, found in commaize.c, uses recursion to break up a number from the small-end and displays it when the recursion unwinds. -
Make an array of strings
This module can break a string into an array of strings, which is then made available through a callback function modeled after main() with a void return type. -
get_keypress
Functions the provide immediate recognition of individual keypresses, including non-printable keys. -
Initializing Struct Arrays
I often iterate over static arrays to perform repetitve tasks like listing program options, simulate user responses, etc. I frequently have trouble initializing these arrays. This guide should help me remember effective coding techniques.
