Must. Have. This.

1.6.x is the last big release of this library. Documentation is updated and ongoing. Future releases will be bug fixes and minor enhancements only.

eXtend C Standard Library Overhaul

Rashaud Teague — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:55:50 +0000

The upcoming 1.6 and final branch of the 1.x versions will a change in the way functions generated new data within them. No more memory allocations and returning with the newly allocated memory.

For example:

char * substr(const char *str, unsigned int start, unsigned int length) {
int str_size = (int) strlen(str);

if (start >= str_size) return (char *)str;
if (start + length >= str_size) length = str_size - start;

static char *rstr;
if (rstr != NULL) free(rstr);

if (length > 0) {
rstr = (char *) malloc(length * sizeof(char));
int i, j;
for (i = start, j = 0; j < length; i++, j++) rstr[j] = str[i];
rstr[length] = '\0';
} else {
rstr = (char *) malloc(1 * sizeof(char));
strcpy(rstr, "");
}

return rstr;
}

Will be rewritten as:

char * substr(const char *str, unsigned int start, unsigned int length, char *buffer) {
int str_size = (int) strlen(str);

if (start >= str_size) return (char *)str;
if (start + length >= str_size) length = str_size - start;

if (length > 0) {
int i, j;
for (i = start, j = 0; j < length; i++, j++) buffer[j] = str[i];
buffer[length] = '\0';
} else {
strcpy(buffer, "");
}

return buffer;
}

And its usage, in short:

char search[delimiter_size];

substr("Hello World", 0, 5, search);

printf("%s\n", search);

I like viewing processes this way.

Stop SOPA/PIPA

Rashaud Teague — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 06:14:03 +0000

Everyone, help stop SOPA/PIPA. Help stop Congress from, again, helping and interfering with failed business models (i.e. bailouts) and most importantly stop Congress from essentially censoring the internet!

View the wiki page for it’s new documentation.

Maris Laboratories Project Wiki

Rashaud Teague — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 01:30:19 +0000

I forgot to tell you all that I’ve finally installed and started setting up the Maris Labs wiki. I really needed this for documenting code *cough* *cough* eXtended Standard Library.

Mind that this wiki is under construction at this point. I’m working hard to get it “finished”. Please check out the eXtended Standard Library‘s project page, as I am frequently updating the documentation, starting with the non-self explanatory functions first.

Other projects (listed on my Projects page) will have wiki pages set up as soon as possible.

Cheers!
