I am trying to write my own string.h functions, my library currently have no dependicies and 11 functions completed. Has basic and readable code to understand. Small binary size. Freely distributable with BSD-3-Clause license. Have a look: mstrutils

    It’s cool to rewrite simple libraries to understand how code works at lower levels.

    What style of formatting are you using? It seems peculiar at times.

        I’m not sure that’s K&R style. In various places you have things where the thing that follows a for, while or if isn’t indented, and as far as I’m aware, K&R indents religiously. K&R omits braces on single statements, sure, but that statement is nonetheless indented from the parent keyword.

        e.g. you have things like:

        while (condition)
statement;

        and

        for(x;y;z) {
if (condition) {
    statement1;
    statement2;
}
}

        Which I’m pretty sure should be:

        while (condition)
    statement;

        and

        for(x;y;z) {
    if (condition) {
        statement1;
        statement2;
    }
}

        respectively. The idea is that you can theoretically trace the keyword down to its closing brace, assuming there is one.
