lx_lib Description

lx_lib is a structural C data library designed for security, functionality, speed, and convenience (in that order). lx_lib handles memory allocations as structures, keeping important information such as the remaining allocated space and the length of the used string internal to each variable (or descriptor).Installation:Run 'make' to build the library.To build the speed tests, run 'make tests'. They'll be located in ./bin.To build programs associated with it, use: CFLAGS = -I/lib LDFLAGS = -L/lib -llx Here are some key features of "lx_lib": · strings need not be scanned to determine their length · the amount of allocated string remaining is easily determined · promotes more secure programming practices · if used correctly, lx_lib can offer a significant speed increase over traditional methods · easy-to-use methods for manipulating strings · generic descriptor support for buffered i/o · generic descriptors enable fast scanning of input for specific characters (e.g. a newline)
