Ctools

Ctools is a collection of generic data structures implemented in C.

Designed as an educational resource, Ctools offers idiomatic C implementations of common data structures. It uses void* to provide type-agnostic storage and sticks to the core C89/C99 standard, making it portable and easy to understand.

🧰 Data Structures Included

• Vec – A dynamic array
• Map – A simple hash map
• Linked List – A singly linked list implementation

All structures support manual memory management, putting you in full control of allocations and lifetimes.

🔧 Features

• Type-agnostic (void*-based) interfaces
• No external dependencies
• Dynamically resizing containers
• Simple, portable C89/C99-compatible code
• Minimal API surface for learning and extension

📂 Examples

Each data structure includes working demo files:

• Vec
• Map
• List

cmake .

./build/vecExample
./build/mapExample
./examples/listExample
