safety

🧠 Overview

Safety is a comprehensive C library designed to make C programming more secure and reliable by providing memory-safe alternatives to standard C operations. The library focuses on preventing common vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows, memory leaks, null pointer dereferences, and other memory-related security issues.

C is a powerful and efficient programming language, but its manual memory management and lack of built-in safety mechanisms make it prone to security vulnerabilities and bugs. The safety library aims to bridge this gap by providing:

• Memory-safe data structures with automatic memory management;
• Bounds-checked operations to prevent buffer overflows;
• Comprehensive error handling with detailed error reporting;
• Modern C best practices while maintaining performance;
• Drop-in replacements for common C patterns.

🚀 Getting Started

Here's how to get started:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/safety.git
cd safety/

🧵 Safe Strings Usage

📝 Full example

You can build and run the example program that demonstrates the usage of safe strings:

cd sstring/examples/
cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build

# Run the example
./build/full-example

# Valgrind check
valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes ./build/full-example

🧪 Testing

You can test the safe strings implementation by running the following commands:

cd sstring/tests/
cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build

# Run tests
./build/sstring-test

# Valgrind check
valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes ./build/sstring-test
