Oop Pattern
Guidance on How to Design Programs Written in C?
I have always developed programs using an object oriented language (C++, python, java, etc) and now come to a project which I need to write in C. I have always been really successful at designing software for oop implementation using several design patterns, etc but with C everything is different since there are no objects. Do any of you know of a good guide/tutorial/book for designing large C programs?
Thanks
Why don’t you have objects in C? I switch between various versions of Basic, C, C++, Java, and others. When I learned OOP, it changed how I write programs. Things became more organized.
I have a random access file object. It knows everything it needs to know about reading a file that is compartmentalized into blocks of data. It doesn’t know what is in the blocks, but it will allocate a buffer, go to the right location in the file and read or write a block to or from the buffer. It is really fairly simple as objects go, but it does an important job. I can then build on this object and create random access files with fixed size buffers and perhaps even control the data inside the buffers. The only thing unusual about it is it is written in C. To make it a complete C++ object, I could make it handle the creation and destruction of the buffer automatically. In the actual program it is done manually where it would be more or less hidden in the C++ object.
The point is, all your object oriented design doesn’t have to go out the window. You just have to be a bit more exacting in how you design your objects. Use your OOP experience to create objects that can be built upon by other objects or used directly. Just remember that you have to manually allocate buffers and any other object structures you might need. Pass the objects with pointers as needed. It is a little more work than C++, but it still works.
I wouldn’t worry about a book. What you already know will be more than enough to get you through.
