cvector

Macro-based header-only vector implementation for C

Usage

Usage is pretty straightforward. VECTOR_NEW macro will create methods based on the first argument (which represents the vector name). The arguments are listed below:

• {listname}_init
• {listname}_destroy
• {listname}_length
• {listname}_add
• {listname}_get
• {listname}_remove
• {listname}_index_of
• {listname}_insert_at

See example of basic usage below:

#include <vector.h>

VECTOR_NEW(strings_list, const char*)

void strings_list_free_items(strings_list* list) {}

int main() {
    strings_list str_list;
    strings_list_init(&str_list);
    strings_list_add(&str_list, "string 1");
    
    const char* str1 = strings_list_get(&str_list, 0);
    fprintf(stdout, "string added was %s (vector length = %d)\n", strings_list_length(&str_list));
    
    strings_list_destroy(&str_list);
}

Notice that {listname}_free_items needs to be implemented manually and it'll be called everytime you free or destroy a list.

Clearing memory

{listname}_free is used for when the list is initialized using {listname}_alloc and {listname}_destroy when it is initialized using {listname}_init.

Advantages

• CMake
• Supports C90
• Header-only implementation
