add new feature to auto copy function protoype from c file from spec…

[be-great]

Usage: alxcheck -D <dir_name> -H <header_name>.h

Example: alxcheck -D . -H main.h

This command will check all prototypes in the specified directory for C files. 🕵️‍♂️

Requirements:-

• Install ctags: sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags 🛠️
• Ensure correct function prototypes in C files; for example, the open bracket should be in Betty style on a different line:
  Example: int function(void){} ❌ | int function(void) and the bracket on a new line ✔

Hello, @be-great. First of all, well done! Month three in ALX SE and already making significant pull requests! Fantastic! Can't wait to see what you'd be doing at month nine, at graduation, and even beyond! 😎

The feature you're proposing is great, but I think it needs some major tweaks to properly align with the project:

1. Your code hijacks the functionality of the entire program, preventing all the existing code from being accessed once invoked. It needs better integration.
2. The autoproto function needs to be moved from main.py to align with the project's code/file structure.
3. Finally, and more as a suggestion, your proposed feature fixes without actually performing any checks, even though the project is aptly named alxcheck. So how about making your code a checker instead, invoked on C files by default, then have the -d/-h switches invoke automatic fixes if the check fails? What do you think?

(DISCLAIMER: I'm just a collaborator, not the project owner or even a major stakeholder.)

Hello @adobki 🚀

Thank you so much for the positive feedback and constructive suggestions! 🙌 I'm thrilled to contribute to this project and will definitely incorporate your valuable insights. Here's my plan to address your points:

1. Integration with Existing Code:

   • Your point about integrating the feature more seamlessly is well taken. I'll revisit the design to ensure it doesn't disrupt the existing functionality. 💡

2. Code/File Structure:

   • Moving the autoproto function to align with the project's structure is a great idea. I'll make the necessary adjustments to keep everything organized. 📁

3. Checker Functionality:

   • Transforming the feature into a checker with automatic fixes on -d/-h switches is a fantastic suggestion! This aligns perfectly with the project's theme, and I'm excited to implement it. 🛠️

Thank you again for the insight 🌟

Hello, @be-great
Glad I could be of help. Sorry I've been #AWOL. Have a lot of projects I'm working on at the moment.
Wow, well done! I'd do this as soon as I can and let to you know. Thanks.👍

@Emmo00 , don't mention it, bro. I'm always happy to be of help. I see you've been choked-up by all dem projects as well. Less than a month now for us to be done here, and then it's on to the next one! Cheers! 😉 #doHardThings

what happens ?!

[Emmo00]

Hey @be-great

I'm sorry I'm just saying this, but this feature is kinda out of the scope of the project

If you're willing, you can create a new repo and I'll gladly contribute to implement this feature

Don't be mad 🥹, I really appreciate your efforts. Thanks 🙏

[be-great]

No problem. Thanks for your feedback and time :)

[Emmo00]

Are you moving forward to build it?

Certainly, I just need some time to organize it. 🙌
