simple dynamic strings

We have hosted the application simple dynamic strings in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about simple dynamic strings:

Simple Dynamic Strings is a C string library developed to address the limitations of the standard C library’s string handling (null-terminated char pointers) by providing heap-allocated, binary-safe, efficient dynamic strings. The library was originally used internally in Redis, but pulled out as a standalone project to allow any C project to benefit from its features. SDS strings maintain metadata (length, allocation size) just before the pointer returned to the user, while still being compatible with standard C string APIs (null-terminated). They enable common operations like concatenation, formatted append, efficient growth and trimming, and safe binary data handling. The design emphasises simplicity, compatibility, performance and minimal overhead: you still get a C-style char * string pointer, but you also get length tracking, safe memory management, and higher-level string operations. As a mature library, it is used in performance-sensitive contexts.

Features:

• Dynamic heap-allocated string type with metadata preceding the pointer returned to user
• Binary-safe operations (strings may contain zeros / null bytes internally)
• C API compatibility (null-terminated pointer so you can use standard C string functions for reading)
• Efficient growth, concatenation and trimming operations (e.g., sdscatfmt)
• Low overhead and small code footprint for embedding into C projects
• Widely used in high-performance systems (e.g., Redis) and MIT/BSD-style friendly license

Programming Language: C.
