pcostesi/ctnetstring

An experimental C library to parse Tagged NetStrings (tnetstrings -- http://tnetstrings.org/)

Warning

CTNETSTRINGS IS EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE - DON'T USE IT IN PRODUCTION.

Introduction

This project is aimed to provide a simple tnetstrings implementation on top of my C Data Structures library. This library should be compatible with the reference at http://tnetstrings.org/, and by extension, with plain old netstrings (http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt). If you find a valid tnetstring that fails then it is a bug and you should report it (or fork and provide patches, if you would be so kind).

This library requires to be linked against the C Data Structures library (included in the lib/cds directory).

Compiling

Just run make.

ctnetstring's Issues

Segfault in tns_free

tns_free dies with a Segfault when freeing dictionaries. This is due to miss-dereferencing the pointer (it frees the buffer that holds the pointer address and not the tnetstr structure).
