Single header library for C Dynamic lists

dlist

dlist.h is a single header library for C, which you can use to dynamically store structures

this 'dynamic list' (or dlist for short) automatically handles the memory management of the list. dlist.h also provides a series of functions which you can use to perform common operations on the list like adding items, removing items, clearning the list and itterating over items.

Creation of dlists:

typedef struct {
    ...
} users;

dlist users = create(users);

Adding new item(s) to dlist

// Adding a single users
user u1 = { .first_name = "jack" };
dlist_create_back(users, user, u1);

// Adding multiple users
user usrs[] = {
    { .first_name = "jack" },
    { .first_name = "bob" },
    { .first_name = "joseph" }
};

dlist_create_back_many(users, user, usrs, 3);

Clearing the entire dlist

dlist_clear(users);

Getting an item by index

user* u = dlist_get(users, index);

Looping over all items

for dlist_each(idx, users) {
    user* u = dlist_get(users, idx);
    printf("name = %s\n", u->first_name);
}
