gnl_exam_tester

A simple tester for the exam version of get_next_line

How it works

Clone this repository

Copy your get_next_line.c into the repo

Execute bash test.sh in the folder. {FAULTY}

The program will compile your gnl and compare it to an example gnl (mine, nhariman). If there are differences found between outputs you will find a differences.txt file that you can examine (the diff will also be printed in the terminal) (WARNING, I passed the exam but passing this test will probably not guarantee you will too, leaks and stuff.)

To check for leaks, do not run the bash file, but instead compile:

gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra get_next_line.c leaks_main.c

And run your own test, ie.

./a.out < exam_main.c

This will give you an infinite while loop and you can check leaks using

leaks a.out

WARNING!! LEAKS IS ONLY MAC (don't know how on linux sorry!!)

To do your own basic tests:

gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra get_next_line.c exam_main.c
./a.out < [whatever file you want your gnl to print]
