  • Safest way to copy a string?
    3 projects | /r/C_Programming | 6 May 2023
    Even better, use a string handling library. Personally I am a big fan of (sds)[https://github.com/antirez/sds] from the Redis creator. It's not even a dependancy you can just copy the .c and .h to your project.

    One nice application is length-prefixed string literals to complement dynamic string libraries:
  • C Strings and my slow descent to madness

    With the woes of string.h being known, why not just use an alternative like https://github.com/antirez/sds ?

    I’ve also been having a blast with C because writing C feels like being a god! But the biggest thing that I like about C is that the world is sort of written on it!

    Just yesterday I needed to parse a JSON… found a bunch of libraries that do that and just picked one that I liked the API.

  • C_dictionary: A simple dynamically typed and sized hashmap in C - feedback welcome

    d) everything being a macro seems overkill for me (and possibly dangerous, see b)). Maybe implement more as static inline functions, see the sds header: https://github.com/antirez/sds/blob/master/sds.h (which does a similar thing with the header struct).

    For example, you can use the C language with sds strings (see https://github.com/antirez/sds) if you want to have an easier time with string formatting and don't want to worry about using the famously unsafe string.h functions correctly. You'll still program in ISO C, but just not in the standard library. The same applies to pretty much all parts of the standard library, the only part unsurpassed is pretty much just printf and the math headers (math.h, fenv.h, tgmath.h, complex.h) imo, and the occasional call to exit. A good place to look for libraries if you want to go that route is the awesome-c collection: https://github.com/oz123/awesome-c
  • Convenient Containers: A usability-oriented generic container library
    4 projects | /r/C_Programming | 26 Dec 2022
    One way around this problem is to declare the container as a pointer to the element type and then store the container’s metadata, alongside its elements, in the heap block to which the pointer points. This approach is already used for dynamic arrays in several container libraries, most notably stb_ds and sds. They place the metadata before the elements and provide the user with a pointer to the elements themselves (this has the nice effect that users can use the [] operator to access elements).

    The canonical library for this is SDS. Any new claimant to the C-string throne should explain the advantages/disadvantages/trade-offs of its use in comparison to SDS.

    I always use antirez's (Redis creator) `sds` and advertise it whenvever I get the chance. It's a joy to use :

  • Is there a convention for "private" struct members?
    2 projects | /r/C_Programming | 17 Nov 2022
    The approach you suggest works in some cases, but I don't think the one you suggest is very good. I think a good example of such use, is sds string. He uses a hidden prefix, instead of suffix, but that is just an implementation detail. It works because he is returning a pointer to the user data. However, sds string should only be manipulated via functions, while user data can be manipulated like C strings. There is only one public header, but what user is concern with, is just the opaque pointer 'sds', which is manipulated by functions, so those structs that sds string are could as well be in a private header.
