C-Generics

Study on different methods of implementing generic containers in C, specifically dynamic arrays.

All implement the following operations:

• creation
• destruction
• push
• pop
• insertion
• deletion
• retrieval
• length of the array

There is no index bounds checking.

Current implementation methods:

• void * pointers
• code generation
• template instantiation
• fat pointers (stretchy buffers)

Implementation methods of popular public libraries

Library	Method
klib	code generation
STC	template instantiation
CTL	template instantiation
stb_ds	fat pointers
CMC	template instantiation
DG_dynarr	code generation
Collections-C sized	void
qlibc	void
