Generic programming in C

Name: Anonymous 2012-01-12 3:49

I love C so much, and I really want to hate sepples, but I can't help but think that generic programming in C is shit! Macros are no good for generic data structures, as they are clunky and blow out code size, nor are void pointers, as you need to allocate separate memory just to store an integer (don't stuff ints into pointers; zeros won't work on architectures where the null pointer constant is non-zero). I really want to write my data structure library in sepples, where templates allow type genericism without issue. What should I do, /prague/; what should I do?!

Use void pointers. It's what sepples does.

Generics don't actually exists, they are just a layer that the programmer see and that the compiler strips away and does the casts and other things for you automatically
