Bugs
- The
http_get
andhttp_post
functions are not defined here, they must be defined elsewhere or included appropriately. - Potential memory leak if
strstr
operations do not find the expected substrings, causing undefined behaviour. free(result)
is called inopenai_system
before the result is utilized, potentially causing a premature freeing of the resource.- Calling
free(data)
andfree(result)
should be conditional based on their allocation status.
Optimizations
- Error handling could be improved by checking for NULL pointers more consistently throughout the functions.
- The handling for the response body in
openai_chat
using multiplestrstr
calls is fragile; consider using a proper JSON parsing mechanism from the start rather than manually manipulating string pointers. - The use of
strdup
should be safeguarded with a check for available memory and to ensurecontent
is valid. - Instead of multiple
strstr
calls, consider tokenizing or parsing JSON correctly with the right tools. - Use of constants for string sizes to ensure buffer overflow issues are managed.
Good Points
- The code uses clear and understandable function names that describe their purpose neatly.
- JSON parsing is attempted, showing an effort to manage API responses systematically.
- The use of
json_object
to handle JSON responses is a good approach for robust data handling.
Summary
The code is written with clear intent and manages to achieve basic API functionality with JSON. However, it contains potential memory leaks and lacks comprehensive error handling, which can affect stability and performance. Improving string management and parsing will significantly enhance robustness.
Open source alternatives
- OpenAI GPT-3 API Wrapper in Python: You can use libraries like
openai
in Python which offer a more user-friendly interface and comprehensive error handling with good community support. - Curl: For simple HTTP requests directly from CLI or integrated into different systems.
- libcurl: A robust C library for making HTTP requests, including handling headers, user-agent strings, etc.
