Build & Tests
Build passes. All 13 tests pass (10 existing + 3 new) on both macOS and Ubuntu CI. Verified locally on aarch64 Linux as well.
Findings
-
test/strbuf.carp:112— copy test does not verify independence. The description says"copy produces independent clone"but the test only checks that the copy has the correct content — it never mutates the original after copying and checks that the copy is unaffected. As written, the test would pass even ifcopydid a shallow copy sharing the samedatapointer. The C implementation (strbuf.h:111-118) does correctly deep-copy viaCARP_MALLOC+memcpy, so the library code is fine — but the test doesn't prove it. Either add a mutation step or soften the description to"copy preserves content". -
with-capacityremains untested. The PR coversappend-double,append-bytes, andcopybut misseswith-capacity, the only other untested public function. It has interesting edge-case behavior (negative/zero capacity falls back to the default). Worth adding for completeness. -
Minor:
append-doubletesting3.14with%gis a good choice —%gis stable for this value across glibc, musl, and macOS libc.append-byteswith printable ASCII is adequate for a basic test.
Verdict: merge
The tests are correct for what they cover and match the existing test style. The copy test description issue is minor — the underlying code is correct. with-capacity can be covered in a follow-up.
Adds tests for the three functions that had zero test coverage:
%g(e.g.3.14)"abc")copyproduces an independent clone with correct contentsAll 13 tests pass (10 existing + 3 new).
