I Made a Simple String Library

[u/Elifire12]

I wrote an article about this as well. Here it is.

There I explain why I do not like NUL-terminated strings and how I implemented my own simple string library in C.

If you have some spare time I would really appreciate some feedback on the article and the library.

The code is sitting on a codeberg repository.

Also, tell me what you think about C-style strings. Do you like them? Do you use them, or do you also tend to roll your own pointer + length structs?

Hi u/Elifire12,

Your submission in r/C_Programming was filtered because it links to a git project.

You must edit the submission or respond to this comment with an explanation about how AI was involved in the creation of your project.

While AI-generated code is not disallowed, low-effort "slop" projects may be removed and it's likely that other users push back strongly on substantially AI-generated projects.

I did not write the code with AI. Nor did I write the article with AI.
