Simpe debugs for 42 students

This repo contains some simple but very helpful tools for debugging your code.

Current debug functions

1. debug_str(string, name of string)
2. debug_nbr(integer, name of integer)
3. check_leaks()

How to use:

1. Run make to create a library of the debug functions
2. Now you can add the function prototypes to your functions
3. Check the test.c file for an easy example for a test main.c
4. Copy debug.a into your project folder to use it freely
5. Compile your test and run: gcc test.c debug.a && ./a.out

Some helpful links to practice the fine art of RTFM

Halp I still don't know how to debug my code!
