What Hacker News says

3 sources
From hashtable (https://github.com/srdja/Collections-C/blob/master/src/hasht...) > HashTableConf htc; Hold short, that structure is allocated from the stack and not via malloc? I'd expect that one to blow up after the second call to hashtable_new. edit: seems like htc is immutable and the values copied over in hashtable_new_conf, but that's downright scary in case one forgets this semantic and accidentally uses htc for something.
In Collections-C, generic data structures for C
A quick look shows this is storing void* pointers only. My excitement was quickly over as I was expecting something with _Generic macros or ability to manage memory for any type. https://github.com/srdja/Collections-C/blob/master/src/hasht... shows the container is manually configurable. Look at the defines at the bottom. This would mean the container file source-header pair, would have to be duplicated for every type, which is somewhat manageable. Why isn't this written in the readme?
