A library that allows you to easily create dynamic strings in C/C++.

libstring

About

The libstring library is a new C library meant to implement dynamic strings for C programmers that just want to program faster, and worry less about having memory corruption with their strings. It's features include support for formatting, such as:

string_t string;
string_create(&string);
string_setf(&string, "Hello, world!\nHere's a number: %d\n", 12345);
puts(string.pointer);
string_destroy(&string);

Or if you want to append text, like:

string_t string;
string_create(&string);
string_appendf(&string, "Hello, world!\nHere's a number: %d\n", 12345);
string_appendf(&string, "Here's a hexadecimal number: %x\n", 0xBEEF);
puts(string.pointer);
string_destroy(&string);

Support for many more features are coming, and dynamic arrays are also expected to be implemented in this library soon.

Building

To build this library, you'll need some sort of program that can execute Makefile scripts. You can use GNU Make or BSD Make in order to achieve this, by running:

make

Of course, make sure that you have one of the two programs installed. Support for CMake is coming soon, for the Windows users.

Installing

Due to this library still being experimental, there's no make install or make uninstall. Soon however, this will be implemented.
