C dynamic containers are missing in the standard, so almost every single project in C uses different implementations. This library is yet another implementation of few basic containers, optimized for speed. A simplified interface to libarchive allows to save the containers in a compressed form.

All the containers are 32bit. This greatly improves the performance (up to ~32%) and reduces the memory consumption (up to 41%) on 64bit systems.
All the containers are pre-allocating buffers to reduce number of calls to malloc().

There's no manpage, but all the functions are well described in the header files, and examples of usage can be found in the test program sources, in the ./test directory.

Features

  • dynamic c-string container
  • dynamic bit array
  • general purpose dynamic array
  • dynamic hash table
  • dynamic ring buffer
  • general purpose trie container
  • built-in functions for saving/loading of the containers
  • built-in functions for archiving of the containers, using libarchive
  • universal functions for archiving data structures of any type
