Dynamic array implementation in C with a modular, folder-based structure.
- 🧩 Modular Operations: Efficient functions for array append, prepend, resize, delete, and access.
- 🛠️ Custom Memory Management: Define custom free functions for array element deallocation.
- 🔓 Expandable: Easily extendable with additional array-related functions.
- 🌍 Cross-Platform: Build scripts for both Linux (bash or make) and Windows (batch).
- 📂 Organized Structure: Each module is in its own directory for easy maintenance.
- 📚 Static Library: Compiles into libmyarray.a for easy reuse in other projects.
- ⚙️ C Standard: Written in pure C for maximum compatibility.
- 🚀 Easy to Build: Simple setup for compiling and integrating into other projects.
my-c-array/ ├── Makefile ├── build.sh ├── build.bat ├── libmyarray.a (after build) ├── src/ │ ├── array_append/ │ │ ├── array_append.c │ │ └── array_append.h │ └── ...
chmod +x build.sh ./build.sh
Or using make
:
make
build.bat
This will compile the source files under src/
, place the object files in build/
, and generate a static library libmyarray.a
or an executable if you add a main.c
.
- Modular directory layout
- Cross-platform build scripts (
.sh
and.bat
) - Basic operations like:
array_create
array_append
array_delete
array_get
array_resize
array_prepend
array_size
Here’s what the base array type looks like:
#ifndef _ARRAY_TYPE_H_ #define _ARRAY_TYPE_H_ #include <stddef.h> // for size_t typedef void (*array_free_func_t)(void*); typedef struct { void** items; // actual data size_t capacity; // total capacity size_t size; // current number of elements array_free_func_t freer; // custom free function (NULL means no-op) } array_t; #endif
