7 ## Bugs - The history file path is not expanded from `~` to the full home directory path. - `read_history` and `write_history` may encounter errors without handling them, e.g., file permissions or missing history file. - The check on `if(!(data || *data)){` in `line_read()` might lead to a potential null pointer dereference if `readline` returns null. ## Optimizations - Use `getenv("HOME")` or `wordexp` to properly expand the tilde (`~`) to the full path of the user's home directory. - Add error handling for `read_history` and `write_history` calls. - Use `if(data == NULL || *data == '\0'){` in `line_read()` to handle potential null addresses safely. ## Good points - Implements command completion which enhances user experience. - Utilizes the `readline` library effectively for command-line interaction. - Code is modular and functions are appropriately separated by concerns. ## Summary The code provides a basic command-line interface with features for command completion and history storage using the `readline` library. It does a commendable job on keeping possible commands and their completion minimalistic and straightforward. However, it encounters issues with the handling of user home directory paths in the context of a history file and lacks robust error handling concerning file operations for command history. Proper checks against null pointers need implementation to ensure more stable execution. ## Open source alternatives - GNU Readline: The library is already being used but reviewing the full set of its capabilities can further optimize command-line interaction with line editing and custom completers. - `clap`: While mostly known for CLI parsing in Rust apps, its approach can inspire improvements in arguments handling. - `Linenoise`: A small, portable GNU Readline replacement for C.
