libgeneralist

So, /prog/, I'm writing a general library in C, with the aim of being somewhat inspired by libraries such as glib, but far lighter and cleaner. So far, I have a linked list implementation and a Unicode string implementation (this is incomplete), totalling 670 SLOC. The build system is cmake, the code is fully documented with doxygen. Of course, the library is in its infancy and far from finished; what other things should I implement? Any data structures? OS abstractions?

...Care to explain? I can't see how i'd use anything else..
Yeah adding two keys doesn't make a lot of sense...
Being able to increment a key with X+=1; is kind of nice though...

Eg. Using an array of structs to store chars..


aStruct[1].ID = 1, aStruct[1].Index = 1, aStruct[1].Val="A"
aStruct[2].ID = 2, aStruct[2].Index = 2, aStruct[2].Val="B"
aStruct[3].ID = 3, aStruct[3].Index = 3, aStruct[3].Val="C"
aStruct[4].ID = 4, aStruct[4].Index = 4, aStruct[4].Val="D"

A=Id-1 // B=2 / C=3 ... 

reSort?
aStruct[1].ID = 3, aStruct[1].Index = 3, aStruct[1].Val="C"
aStruct[2].ID = 4, aStruct[2].Index = 4, aStruct[2].Val="D"
aStruct[3].ID = 1, aStruct[3].Index = 1, aStruct[3].Val="A"
aStruct[4].ID = 2, aStruct[4].Index = 2, aStruct[4].Val="B"

A still equals Id-1 // B=2 / C=3 ...?

Probably another bad example... reSort #2?

aStruct[1].ID = 2, aStruct[1].Index = 4, aStruct[1].Val="B"
aStruct[2].ID = 3, aStruct[2].Index = 1, aStruct[2].Val="C"
aStruct[3].ID = 4, aStruct[3].Index = 2, aStruct[3].Val="D"
aStruct[4].ID = 1, aStruct[4].Index = 3, aStruct[4].Val="A"
