C-Utils

Taken directly from barrust’s c-util library under an MIT License.

His project provides a collection of utility libraries to help reduce the need to write similar code for each project on an ad-hoc basis. It also has pretty good coverage of the code with unit tests.

Table of Contents

• stringlib: C-string utilities
• fileutils: File system utilities
• bitarray
• linked list
• doubly linked list
• stack
• queue
• graph
• permutations
• timing-c: Code timing utility
• minunit: Unit testing

Recommended External Libraries

• set
• hashmap
• bloom filter
• kseq: A fasta/fastq parser library
• utf-8: Single header UTF-8 string functions for C and C++

Unit Tests

Unit tests are provided using the minunit library. Each function is, hopefully, fully covered.

To run the unit-test suite, simply compile the test files using the provided Makefile with the command:

make test

Note you’ll need to create the /libs and /dist directories first in the c-utils root folder, using something like:

mkdir libs
mkdir dist

Then you can execute the tests using the executables:

./dist/bitarray
./dist/strlib
./dist/fileutils
./dist/graph
./dist/linkedlist
./dist/doublylinkedlist
./dist/stack
./dist/queue
./dist/permutations
./dist/minunit
./dist/timing
