Libft

Libft is a 42 Madrid Common Core project in which you will learn to build your own C library that will be useful for future projects.

About the project

In the Libft project you will make your own set of functions based in the C standard library as well as other functions that do not belong to it.

Mandatory part I

• You will have to recode some of the C standard library libc functions.
• The functions will have the same prototypes and will behave like the original ones.
• The functions must stick to the man official software documentation descriptions.
• The functions nomenclature will begin with ft_.
• For example: strlen will be ft_strlen.

Mandatory part II

• You will have to code new functions or some of those in the C standard library libc but in a different way.
• Some of this functions may be useful to finish coding some of the Mandatory Part I functions.

Instructions

• The use of global variables is forbidden.
• If you have to split your function into others, make sure that they are static functions so that they cannot be used outside the script.
• All files must be in the repository root folder.
• The delivery of unused files is forbidden.
• The program must compile with the -Wall -Wextra -Werror compiler flags.
• You must use the ar command to create the library. libtool is strictly forbidden.
• The libft.a file must be created in the repository root folder.

Compilation

Requirements

• C compiler: gcc, cc, etc...
• make utility.

Make commands

• make: compile project.
• make clean: deletes compilation files except the executables.
• make fclean: deletes all compilation files.
• make re: executes make fclean and make.

Build project

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/RaulSoftDev/libft.git

2. Build the project:

   make

3. Use the library in your project:

   #include "libft/libft.h"

4. Compile your project:

   gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror *.c libft/libft.a
