collaborative and comprehensive testing for libft project

first Draft

Collaborate on libft tests, everything here is open to suggestions

• This is hopefully a way to both practice git collaboration and creat a comprehensive and efficent series of tests for the libft project.
• Its a work in progress as we all still have to actually do the project

GOALS

1. have a comprehensive series of tests which give meaninful error message
2. have a main.c a .h and a testfunction.c for each lib function
3. these sholud compile to .o files which are subsequently linked and compiled with your own libft like so:
4. gcc *.o -L -lft
5. functions should be named in a consistant manner like "test_.c"

HOW TO INSTALL AND RUN TESTS

1. git clone repo to your machine
2. Change LIBDIR variable in the Makefile according to your folder structure. That should be the folder containing your libft.a file.
3. Change the same path in libft_tests.h file libft.h header include.
4. Make and proceed with tests.

HOW TO ADD TESTS

1. Create file in the root named test_ft_FUNCTIONNAME.c
2. Write the tests using predefined templates TESTF(function_name) in the beginning; TESTN(test_number) to initialize each test and TESTOK(test_number) or TESTFAILED(test_number) to validate results.
3. Add void test_ft_FUNCTIONNAME(void) prototype to libft_tests.h header file
4. Add function call to test_ft_FUNCTIONNAME() in libft_tests_main.c file
5. Compile tests with make re
6. Run with ./test_ft

TO DO

• add more tests
• figure out a way to share libft.a across different users via global file/variable
