List of Programming Project Ideas

I don't have time to pursue every project that comes to mind, and i want to put some ideas out there.

If you find something that already implements what i described, please let me know via email.

comcat

Like 'cat', but it just filters out the comments from source files for many languages.
I see no real use for it besides being a fun project.

---

depcat

Like 'cat', but it just filters out the dependencies from source files for many languages.
This would be useful especially for multi-language projects and especially from a security/performance perspective. To see if you are using multiple versions of the same library.

---

strcat

Like 'cat', but it just filters out the strings from source files for many languages.
Similar to how 'strings' extracts strings from binaries.

salloc C Library

which can allocate dynamically on the heap,
but on a per function basis. So that the stuff allocated in a function can be freed, without having to free everything individually.
Similar to how you can allocate statically inside your stackframe, this Library would enable you to allocate dynamically.

int f(){
	
	//...
	
	int* arr = salloc(sizeof(int)*4);  //(1)
	
	char* t = salloc(sizeof(char)*8); //(2)
	
	//...
	
	sreturn(3); //would free (1), (2)
}
