A simple binary heap library (and testing tools)
This project is a template for a simple array-implementation of binary heaps in the C-programming language.
This template contains all the code needed to test your implementation of
binary heaps in both correctness and efficiency terms.
Your are exclusively required to code the type binheap_type
in the file binheap.h and all the functions
dealing it in the file binheap.c. The meaning of the
function parameters and the semantics of the functions themselves are detailed
in binheap.h.
Once this has been done, a set of tests can be produced as described below.
You can generate the Makefile by using cmake as follows:
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" CMakeLists.txtAfterwards you can compile the code by executing make. This produces a set
of programs, named test_delete_min, test_insert, etc., which can be
executed in POSIX systems siply by writing ./ and the name of the program
in the terminal.
For instance, in order to execute test_delete_min, use the following command:
./test_delete_min
Setting up test sets...done

In order to install the library, you can set the install directory <BINHEAP_INSTALL_DIR> by executing:
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<BINHEAP_INSTALL_DIR> CMakeLists.txtIf you don't do it, the library and its headers will be installed in /usr/local/.
After that simply write:
make install
