C++ POOL — DAY 03

C

Building libstring.a, a complete and tested string manipulation library.

One day to produce a standalone text-processing library, delivered as an archive ready to be linked into any program, with its battery of tests. It is as much an exercise in algorithmics as in software rigour.

A libstring.a static library exposing a C++-style string_t « object » in pure C: a structure carrying its buffer and its fourteen methods as function pointers, with constructor, destructor and a this parameter, all covered by Criterion tests.

BEYOND THE BRIEF
