I am getting back into using C, but I've been spoiled by generics in other languages. I have made it to the following piece of code in my implementation of a resizable array:
typdef struct {
void** array;
int length;
int capacity;
size_t type_size;
} Vector;
void vector_add(Vector* v, void* entry) {
// ... code for adding to the array and resizing
}
int main() {
Vector* vector = vector_create(5, sizeof(int));
vector_add(vector, 4); // This is erroneous...
// ...
}
In my attempt to make this generic, I'm now unable to add an integer to the vector without storing it in memory somewhere else.
Is there any way to make this work (either as is, or possibly a better approach to generics)?
