Libft is a custom library meticulously crafted to enhance your understanding of C programming, with a primary focus on efficiency, memory management, and robustness. This library not only replicates the essential functions found in <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h> but also introduces optimized versions of these functions to minimize memory usage and eliminate the risk of segmentation faults. By providing a comprehensive collection of functions, Libft aims to become an indispensable tool for your future projects.
-
Efficiency: Every function in Libft has been carefully optimized to achieve maximum efficiency and minimize memory consumption. These enhancements make it a reliable choice for any C/C++ project.
-
Memory Management: The library places a strong emphasis on memory allocation and deallocation, ensuring that memory leaks are virtually eliminated. It guarantees that memory is used wisely and freed when no longer needed.
-
Segfault Prevention: Every function in Libft has undergone rigorous testing to prevent segmentation faults. It can be confidently used without the worry of unforeseen crashes in your programs.
The Makefile provided with Libft includes the following rules:
-
all: Compiles the library and prepares it for use.
-
clean: Deletes all object files (
.o) generated during compilation. -
fclean: Deletes the library binary (
libft.a) along with all object files. -
re: Executes
fcleanandallconsecutively, effectively cleaning and rebuilding the library.
