# C Memory Manager
[![build_and_test](https://github.com/Felix-Quehl/C_Memory_Manager/actions/workflows/build_and_test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Felix-Quehl/C_Memory_Manager/actions/workflows/build_and_test.yml)[![code_analysis](https://github.com/Felix-Quehl/C_Memory_Manager/actions/workflows/code_analysis.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Felix-Quehl/C_Memory_Manager/actions/workflows/code_analysis.yml)

This repo contains the code for a **united-tested** memory manager library in C.
The library helps the consumer to keep track of memory allocations and detect memory leaks.

Please look at the unit test code to see how it's used.

## Build & Test

### Build

Use `make` to build a clean release version.

```bash
make clean release
```

Sample Output:

```bash
rm -fr libmem.so test.out libmem.so mem.h out
cd ./mem && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make clean
rm -rf libmem.so
cd ./mem.test && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make clean
rm -rf test.out *.profraw *.profdata
cd ./mem && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make
clang -Weverything -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wpedantic -fno-inline -Wno-poison-system-directories -I./header -o code/mem.o -c code/mem.c
clang --shared code/mem.o -o libmem.so
mkdir -p out
cp ./mem/libmem.so ./out
cp ./mem/header/mem.h ./out
```

After `make` completed the build completed, you can grab the dynamic linkable library file and the header file from the out directory: `./out`

### Test

Just use `make` to test everything.

```bash
make clean test
```

Sample Output:

```bash
rm -fr libmem.so test.out libmem.so mem.h out
cd ./mem && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make clean
rm -rf .//code/mem.o libmem.so
cd ./mem.test && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make clean
rm -rf .//code/main.o .//code/test.o test.out *.profraw *.profdata
cd ./mem && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make debug
