ft_printf library ---------------- Description ---------- This is a custom implementation of printf() glibc. I wrote this implementation to carry on learning C and understand what printf does, to an extend. This implementation is concerned with the following specifiers only: c, s, i, d, u, x, X, p. Instructions ----------- To clone the repository of this library run: $ git clone https://git.yctct.com/ft_printf $ cd ft_printf To compile the library run: $ make To recompile the library run: $ make re To delete all object files run: $ make clean To delete all object files and libft.a run: $ make fclean Then to use the library, libftprintf.a, with a programme, say main.c, run: $ cc main.c libftprintf.a and prepend each of the C files with: #include "path/to/ft_printf.h" Implementation choice --------------------- ft_printf.c parses the string for the specifier. When it finds a specifier, a helper function check the character following the specifier against conversion specifier, when the condition is true (i.e. the char following the specifier is a conversion specifier, then the argument pointer is passed to a function that will convert the argument according to the conversion specifier. Possible improvements: - I could probably merge both functions converting decimal to hexadecimal into a single function. - At the end of my implement, I added a function, ft_checkpadd.c to check whether the address a pointer is pointing to is zero. I could try to integrate that function elsewhere. - deal with edge case when % is the last char of a string Some edge cases this implementation takes into account: - specifier followed by a non-conversation specifier character e.g. %t - print(0); - print (""); Relevant projects ----------------- - [add URL to printf test] Resources --------- - Oceano's tutorials on variadic functions and "mini printf" - man stdarg for variadic functions. - man limits.h for INT_MAX, etc. - man 3 printf
