Epitech Project GetNextLine (GNL)

GetNextLine

Mini projet en C de première année Epitech.

Le GetNextLine (GNL) permet de récupérer ligne par ligne un file descriptor à la façon de GetLine.

Ce repo peut vous servir d'exemple, il passe 100% des tests. Attention au -42 !

getnextline's Issues

The current version is having troubles facing leak

Expected behavior and actual behavior:

The program should free every memory it allocates except the one used to return a pointer to the string.
The actual method is leaking about 60% of total memory.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

Use the current version (COMMIT 6eb8c36) and a simple main function that iterates over a file's content and displays (then frees) each string returned by the GNL.

~> Example main function:

int main(int ac, char **av)
{
  char *s;
  int	fd;

  if (ac < 2)
    return (1);
  fd = open(av[1], O_RDONLY);
  if (fd == -1)
    return (1);
  while ((s = get_next_line(fd)) != NULL)
    {
      puts(s);
      free(s);
    }
  close(fd);
  return (0);
}

Using the previous main with 'get_next_line.h' as an argument and valgrind to reveal memory leaks outputs the following:

total heap usage: 118 allocs, 21 frees, 3,415 bytes allocated.
