c-advanced

c-advanced is a cursor rule for Cursor from wangqiqi/cursor-ai-rules. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,940 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Advanced guidance for C programming covering testing, performance improvements, security, memory and resource handling, and general development practices. C is a low-level programming language where incorrect memory use can cause crashes or security flaws.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or reviewing C code that needs safer memory handling, compiler optimizations, static analysis, performance testing, or cross-platform checks.
Why use it?
It helps prevent common C problems such as buffer overflows, unsafe functions, memory mistakes, portability issues, and untested performance changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

c-advanced scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

C 高级实践

本文档是从 @c-basics 分割出来的高级主题部分,涵盖测试策略、性能优化、安全实践和最佳实践。

⚠️ 执行原则

MUST 遵循以下C高级开发准则:

  • MUST 正确管理内存和资源
  • NEVER 忽略缓冲区溢出风险
  • ALWAYS 使用静态分析工具
  • DO NOT 使用不安全的函数
  • MUST 进行性能测试和优化
  • ALWAYS 验证跨平台兼容性

编译优化

// 条件编译优化
#ifdef __GNUC__
#define LIKELY(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 1)
#define UNLIKELY(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 0)
#else
#define LIKELY(x) (x)
#define UNLIKELY(x) (x)
#endif

// 内联函数优化
static inline int fast_max(int a, int b) {
    return LIKELY(a > b) ? a : b;
}

// 分支预测优化
int process_data_optimized(const int* data, size_t count) {
    int sum = 0;
    for (size_t i = 0; i < count; ++i) {
        if (LIKELY(data[i] > 0)) { // 正数更常见
            sum += data[i];
        } else {
            sum -= data[i]; // 负数处理
        }
    }
    return sum;
}

// SIMD优化 (需要编译器支持)
#ifdef __AVX2__
#include <immintrin.h>

void vector_add_float(float* result, const float* a, const float* b, size_t count) {
    size_t i = 0;

    // SIMD处理
    for (; i + 8 <= count; i += 8) {
        __m256 va = _mm256_load_ps(&a[i]);
        __m256 vb = _mm256_load_ps(&b[i]);
        __m256 vr = _mm256_add_ps(va, vb);
        _mm256_store_ps(&result[i], vr);
    }

    // 处理剩余元素
    for (; i < count; ++i) {
        result[i] = a[i] + b[i];
    }
}

#else

void vector_add_float(float* result, const float* a, const float* b, size_t count) {
    for (size_t i = 0; i < count; ++i) {
        result[i] = a[i] + b[i];
    }
}

#endif

🔒 安全实践

缓冲区溢出防护

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

// ✅ 推荐:安全的字符串操作
size_t safe_strncpy(char* dest, const char* src, size_t dest_size) {
    if (!dest || !src || dest_size == 0) {
        return 0;
    }

    size_t src_len = strnlen(src, dest_size);
    if (src_len < dest_size) {
        // 源字符串完全适合
        memcpy(dest, src, src_len);
        dest[src_len] = '\0';
        return src_len;
    } else {
        // 需要截断
        memcpy(dest, src, dest_size - 1);
        dest[dest_size - 1] = '\0';
        return dest_size - 1;
    }
}

size_t safe_strncat(char* dest, const char* src, size_t dest_size) {
    if (!dest || !src || dest_size == 0) {
        return 0;
    }

    size_t dest_len = strnlen(dest, dest_size);
    if (dest_len >= dest_size) {
        return 0; // 目标缓冲区已满或无效
    }

    size_t remaining = dest_size - dest_len;
    size_t src_len = strnlen(src, remaining);

    memcpy(dest + dest_len, src, src_len);
    dest[dest_len + src_len] = '\0';

    return src_len;
}

// ✅ 推荐:安全的内存操作
void* safe_memcpy(void* dest, const void* src, size_t count) {
    if (!dest || !src) {
        return NULL;
    }

    // 检查重叠
    if ((char*)dest < (char*)src + count &&
        (char*)src < (char*)dest + count) {
        // 重叠,使用memmove
        return memmove(dest, src, count);
    }

    return memcpy(dest, src, count);
}

void* safe_malloc(size_t size) {
    if (size == 0) {
        size = 1; // 避免分配0字节
    }

    if (size > SIZE_MAX / 2) {
        return NULL; // 防止整数溢出
    }

    return malloc(size);
}

c-advanced is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository wangqiqi/cursor-ai-rules (16 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,940 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
