- StringLib.ReadMe is a original poster and text taken from the
- Fred Fish-puplic domain series. These sources build the biggest
- part of the link-library. Own sources an source-codes that be
- declared as freeware are added.
- The various authors all wrote with own specials. One uses
- char, another ubyte and third UBYTE.
- I've make the source more conform. Based on the oldest codes now
- all strings are char.
- The vbcc-compiler find a lot of 'const' declared variables that
- not real used as const. This warnings all be corrected, two errors
- also be corrected. This are the only changes that be made on the
- source. My own sources work with special includes, created to
- make the building of the bbs-system simple. In this collection
- the sources don't do that to work like standard-stringfunctions.
-
- After this, I build the lib and compile the strings(3)-testsystem.
- A problem will be found at memchr - test 9. I don't know the
- reason of this error. As I take a lock in the source, I killed
- the most lines, obtimize the rest and rebuild all. The problem
- not longer exists.
-
- The source of 'teststringlib.c' is included.
- First version: Works on the internal functionnames of the lib.
- This will be work with and without stringfunctions of your
- compiler. As second comes a version 'testvbcc.c'. I exclude
- all tests of function's that not exist on vbcc.
-
- The test found problems that will be send by me to Volker
- Barthelmann to check it. I've included the testprogram.
- Ignore the error's, they are NOT real errors. Only problems
- with a litte hack by fred fish and the strict ansi-c-progamming
- from vbcc.
-
- Future:
- -------
- Many more stringfunctions waiting. They will added, after port
- and test them.
-
- Sources:
- --------
- The sourcecode has no makefile, because I used my PMM to create
- the lib.
- If you really need them, please contact me.
