Url Parsing in Cilk
This Cilk program demonstrates URL parsing. Here’s a breakdown of the code:
We define a
URL
struct to hold the different components of a URL.The
parseURL
function takes a URL string and parses it into theURL
struct. This function uses string manipulation functions from the C standard library to split the URL into its components.In the
main
function, we usecilk_spawn
to parse the URL asynchronously. This demonstrates Cilk’s parallel programming capabilities, although for a single URL parse, it may not provide significant performance benefits.After parsing, we print out each component of the URL.
Finally, we free all allocated memory to prevent memory leaks.
To compile and run this Cilk program:
This will output:
Note that this is a basic implementation and doesn’t handle all possible URL formats or error cases. In a production environment, you would want to use a more robust URL parsing library.
