# libflint
`libflint` is a library of common C data structures and algorithms, designed to be as agnostic as possible for its
users.
## Requirements
The only requirement is `libbsd`. This should be available on all major Linux distros. If building on a bsd, then
## Memory Management
The parts of this library that create data structures pass all responsibility of memory management to the user. This
is clearly documented in the individual module's documentation.
## Why 'libflint'?
`libflint` is named after my dog Flint, who passed away in 2021. I miss you, buddy.

# lfbinarytree
Binary tree with standard leaf operations
## Usage
Create the tree. The user is responsible for memory management of the `BinTree` struct.
```c
BinTree *tree = malloc(sizeof(BinTree));
```
After the tree is created, init it. The second argument on `bintree_init()` is an optional memory freeing function pointer
with signature `void (*destroy)(void *data)`. Use `free()` from the stdlib if you are creating the data with `malloc()`.
If allocation of your data is more complex, you can pass your own memory deallocation function as long as it fits the
signature.
In this example, we are passing `NULL` because all memory will be stack allocated.
```c
bintree_init(tree, NULL);
int root = 0;
int l1 = 1;
int l2 = 2;
int r1 = 12;
int r2 = 200;
```
Next lets insert our data into the tree. The insert functions signature is `bintree_ins_...(tree, parent, data)`. If you
are inserting data at the root of the tree, you may use either `bintree_ins_left()` or `bintree_ins_right()` as long as
`NULL` is passed as the parent argument.
```c
bintree_ins_left(tree, NULL, &root);
bintree_ins_left(tree, tree->root, &l1);
bintree_ins_left(tree, tree->root->left, &l2);
bintree_ins_right(tree, tree->root->left, &r2);
bintree_ins_right(tree, tree->root, &r1);
bintree_ins_right(tree, tree->root->right, &r2);
bintree_ins_left(tree, tree->root->right, &l1);
```
We can use `bintree_debug_print(tree)` to print a graphical representation of the tree to `stdout`
```plaintext
└──0
├──1
│ ├──2
│ └──200
└──12
├──1
└──200
```
To cleanup the tree, first destroy the nodes. If you passed a deallocation function, it will be called on
the data member of each node before the node itself is freed. `bintree_destroy()` does not free the tree itself, just the
nodes inside of it, hence we must also call `free()` on the tree.
```c
bintree_destroy(tree);
free(tree);
tree = NULL;
```
Here is the entire example:
```c
BinTree *tree = malloc(sizeof(BinTree));
bintree_init(tree, NULL);
int root = 0;
int l1 = 1;
int l2 = 2;
int r1 = 12;
int r2 = 200;
bintree_ins_left(tree, NULL, &root);
bintree_ins_left(tree, tree->root, &l1);
bintree_ins_left(tree, tree->root->left, &l2);
bintree_ins_right(tree, tree->root->left, &r2);
bintree_ins_right(tree, tree->root, &r1);
bintree_ins_right(tree, tree->root->right, &r2);
bintree_ins_left(tree, tree->root->right, &l1);
bintree_debug_print(tree);
bintree_destroy(tree);
free(tree);
tree = NULL;
```
## Structs
### BinTree
Binary tree struct
```c
typedef struct {
int size;
int (*compare)(const void *a, const void *b);
void (*destroy)(void *data);
struct BinTreeNode *root;
} BinTree;
```
Members:
- `size`: How many nodes the tree contains
- `compare`: Comparison function between data in two nodes. Currently not used for anything
- `destroy`: Optional deallocation function for data inside a node. Typical usage is `NULL` for stack allocated data and `free()` for data created with `malloc()`
- `root`: The root node of the tree
### BinTreeNode
Node of the tree
```c
typedef struct BinTreeNode {
void *data;
struct BinTreeNode *left;
struct BinTreeNode *right;
} BinTreeNode;
```
Members:
- `data`: void pointer to data the node contains
- `left`: left facing leaf of the node
- `right`: right facing leaf of the node
## Functions
### bintree_init
Initialize the binary tree. User is responsible for freeing memory with `bintree_destroy()`.
```c
void bintree_init(BinTree *tree, void (*destroy)(void *data))
```
### bintree_destroy
Destroys the nodes inside a tree and calls the deallaction function on the data if one was provided. Does not deallocate the tree itself, that is left to the user
```c
void bintree_destroy(BinTree *tree)
```
### bintree_ins_left
Creates a new node containing `data` and inserts it as the left child of `node`
```c
int bintree_ins_left(BinTree *tree, BinTreeNode *node, void *data)
```
### bintree_ins_right
Creates a new node containing `data` and inserts it as the right child of `node`.
```c
int bintree_ins_right(BinTree *tree, BinTreeNode *node, void *data)
```
### bintree_rem_left
Removes and deallocates the left child node of `node`. Calls the deallocation function on the data if one was provided
```c
void bintree_rem_left(BinTree *tree, BinTreeNode *node)
```
### bintree_rem_right
Removes and deallocates the right child node of `node`. Calls the deallocation function on the data if one was provided
```c
void bintree_rem_right(BinTree *tree, BinTreeNode *node)
```
### bintree_debug_print
Prints a representation of the tree to stdout. Gets very messy with large trees
```c
void bintree_debug_print(BinTree *tree)
```
### bintree_is_eob
Utility macro that checks if the node is the End Of Branch
```c
#define bintree_is_eob(node) ((node) == NULL)
```
### bintree_is_leaf
Utility macro that checks if a node has children
```c
#define bintree_is_leaf(node) ((node)->left == NULL && (node)->right == NULL)
```

# lfinput
I/O module to assist with consuming data from files
## Functions
### get_input
Reads a file at `path` and returns the contents as a single string. The string is allocated inside the function and
the user is responsible for freeing it when finished.
```c
char *get_input(const char *path);
/* Usage */
char *str = get_input("/home/evan/textfile");
free(str);
```
### get_lines
Reads a file at `path` and returns the contents as an array of strings. The newline character `\n` is used as the
delimiter to determine where the file is split. The user is responsible for cleaning up the memory using `del_lines()`.
`lsz` is set to the number of lines in the array.
```c
char **get_lines(const char *path, size_t *lsz);
/* Usage */
size_t sz = 0;
char **lines = get_lines("/home/evan/textfile", &sz);
for (size_t i = 0; i < sz; i++) {
printf("%s\n", lines[i]);
}
del_lines(lines);
```
### del_lines
Frees all memory used by `get_lines()`
```c
void del_lines(char **lines);
```
### get_ints
Reads a file at `path` and returns the contents as an array of integers. The file is assumed to be a newline seperated
list of integers and nothing else.
The newline character `\n` is used as the delimiter to determine where the file is split. The user is responsible for
cleaning up the memory using `free()`. `lsz` is set to the number of lines in the array.
```c
int *get_ints(const char *path, size_t *lsz);
/* Usage */
int *nums = get_ints("/home/evan/intfile");
for (size_t i = 0; i < sz; i++) {
printf("%d\n", nums[i]);
}
free(nums);
```
### split
Takes a string `s` and splits it into an array of strings based on the delimiter. `s` is left unchanged. The user is
responsible for cleaning up the memory of the split using `del_split()`. `sp_sz` is set to the size of the split.
```c
char **split(char *s, size_t *lsz, const char *delim)
/* Usage */
size_t sp_sz = 0;
char **sp = split("Split on whitespace", &sp_sz, " ");
printf("%s\n", sp[0]); // Prints "Split"
```
### del_split
Frees all memory used by `split()`. Just like `split`, it does not touch the original string
```c
void del_split(char **sp);
/* Usage */
size_t sp_sz = 0;
char **sp = split("Delete Me!", &sp_sz, " ");
void del_split(char **sp);
```
