My own view is that C isn't the right language for generic containers
libraries, partly because of the dependency problem, but partly
because it's as easy to manipulate pointers on an ad hoc basis as to use an
interface. I'm not sure whether that says something good or something bad
about C.

But I don't have a problem with Jacob discussing his project here. Particuarly
since he's started the process of trying to get the library standardised. It
seems clearly topical.

My problem was (initially) type-safety, but since Jacob's expanded his
templated approach, the improvement on that front has been massive. I
still have my doubts about the error handling mechanism.

Quite so.

strongly diagree! For 1. it isn't *that* easy (or clear), for 2. you reallyshouldn't be mixing conatiner code with application code. programming is supposed to be about abstraction- so use some! I seem to have spent an inordinate amount of time debugging (other people's) linked list, queues and stacks.

pointer manipulation is highly error prone and hard to debug. Write it onceand verify it thoughly.

This a separate issue as to whether Jacob's library is the right solution.

Exactly. This "joe" takes some word out of its context and adds
a sentence that has nothing to do whatsoever with the discussion

YAT! (Yet Another Troll)

And now I have updated the vector container in a "templated" form.

Elements now can be passed by value, and you can build a thin
indirection layer to benefit from compile time diagnostics and easier
syntax
