Are there any open source C libraries with common data structures? [closed]

BSD queue.h has:

  • SLIST = singly linked list
  • LIST = doubly linked list
  • SIMPLEQ = singly linked queue
  • TAILQ = doubly linked queue

BSD tree.h has:

  • RB – red-black tree
  • SPLAY – splay tree

See the queue(3) and tree(3) man pages for details. I really like them because they are pure C macros without dependencies (not even libc). Plus with the BSD license you don’t have to worry about any company restrictions w/ GPL.
