This Cilk program demonstrates URL parsing. Here’s a breakdown of the code:

  1. We define a URL struct to hold the different components of a URL.

  2. The parseURL function takes a URL string and parses it into the URL struct. This function uses string manipulation functions from the C standard library to split the URL into its components.

  3. In the main function, we use cilk_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.

  4. After parsing, we print out each component of the URL.

  5. Finally, we free all allocated memory to prevent memory leaks.

To compile and run this Cilk program:

$ cilk++ url_parsing.cilk -o url_parsing
$ ./url_parsing

This will output:

Scheme: postgres
User: user
Password: pass
Host: host.com
Port: 5432
Path: path
Query: k=v
Fragment: f

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.
