# C Development

This docker container contains a bunch of the C development tools needed to build a program.

On MacOS 10.14.6 `valgrind` and `gdb` do not work, so I have made this useful docker image where

you can debug a C program from a directory on the host machine.

This container is based on Debian and contains:

- gcc

- g++

- gdb

- make

- valgrind

- git

## Building

To build the container run

```bash

docker build \

    --build-arg VCS_REF=$(git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD) \

    --build-arg BUILD_DATE=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") \

    -t cdev .

```

## Usage

```bash

$ docker pull marshallasch/cdev

$ docker run -v :/code -it marshallasch/cdev

```

Where the `` is the directory that contains the code that you wish to test.

The folder will be mounted at `/code`. *NOTE: that any changes made to the files in the docker container

will also be on the host machine.*

## Alias function

Here is a useful little bash function to save time when writing out the long command. You can put this in your `~/.bash_profile`

file.

```

function cDev() {

    PASSED=$1

    echo ""

    if [[ !  -d $PASSED ]]; then

        echo "$PASSED  must be a directory"

        return 1

    fi

    docker pull marshallasch/cdev

    if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then

        echo "Docker not running.... starting...."

        open /Applications/Docker.app

        sleep 5

        docker pull marshallasch/cdev

    fi

    echo "starting c dev environment"

    docker run -v "$PASSED:/code" -it marshallasch/cdev

}

```
