CTL is a header-only, template-like container library for ISO C99/C11 that reimplements C++ STL containers such as vector, list, deque, set, and string using macro-based generics. It is fast to compile, type safe, and MIT licensed.
Use cases
- use STL-style containers in C
- get a type-safe vector or list in C99
- avoid writing generic data structures by hand in C
- port C++ STL code to plain C
- sort and iterate collections in C with minimal boilerplate
When to choose
- you write ISO C99/C11 and want STL-like containers without a C++ compiler
- you need fast compilation and small dependency-free header-only containers
When to avoid
- you are already using C++ and can use the real STL
- you need std::map or other containers CTL explicitly does not implement
