Type Safe Generic Data Structures in C

Daniel Chase Hooper explores type safe generic data structures in C by exploring a real-world example of a generic queue data structure, implemented in C. He explains the problems with traditional C's lack of generics and how existing libraries like GNU C Library's gmpq and gmpn only support a limited set of types. Hooper then presents his own implementation of a generic queue using C type punning and function pointers, providing a detailed walkthrough of the code. He highlights the benefits of this approach, including improved code safety and maintainability. The article concludes by discussing the potential applications and limitations of this implementation.
