A collection of common computer science data structures and algorithms written in 100% ANSI standard C. Each module is self-contained so it can be copied into any project, or built together as the libcalg library.

Use cases

  • add linked lists, hash tables, or binary trees to a C project
  • copy a single data structure source file into my codebase without dependencies
  • replace C's limited standard library with common algorithms
  • learn how classic data structures are implemented in C
  • use a permissively licensed data structure library in proprietary software

When to choose

  • you need basic data structures in plain C with no dependencies
  • you want permissively licensed (ISC) code reusable in proprietary projects
  • you prefer copying individual .c/.h modules rather than linking a library

When to avoid

  • you need generic, type-safe containers like C++ STL or Rust collections
  • you need high-performance concurrent or lock-free data structures
  • your project uses a higher-level language with a rich standard library
