my-c-array

Dynamic array implementation in C with a modular, folder-based structure.

🔧 Features

  • 🧩 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.

🗂️ Suggested Directory Layout

my-c-array/ ├── Makefile ├── build.sh ├── build.bat ├── libmyarray.a (after build) ├── src/ │ ├── array_append/ │ │ ├── array_append.c │ │ └── array_append.h │ └── ... 

🛠️ Build Instructions

Linux / macOS

chmod +x build.sh ./build.sh

Or using make:

make

Windows

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.

📦 Functions

  • 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

📄 Example Header

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
