STL for "C"

[~nn]

There was a need to develop STL-like functions (map,multimap,set,multiset,vector, and queue) for standard "C", those who worked with C++ STL know what I am talking about.
Functions in most cases work 20-30% faster than C++ STL and allow creating very small and fast executables.
I was just wondering if anybody, besides myself has a need for such a product?

I'm sure they exist for C. The difficulty with C is getting the template functionality to work the same way it does in C++. I would imagine it involves a tremendous number of void pointers, etc, and is generally ugly as all get out to work with.

I've seen cl***es on data types taught in C, which actually implement a number of those constructs from within C.

Basically it looks pretty good.
This is an example of using map and vector togehter:

Code:

{
char s[]="tstvec1 12 23  34 45 56 tstvec1_last";
char s1[]="tstvec2 12 23  34 45 56 67 78 tstvec2_last";
char s2[]="tstvec3 12 23  34 45 56 43 56 89 tstvec3_last";
char s3[]="tstvec4 1 2  3 4 5 6 7 8 9 tstvec4_last";
void *vp;
Vec *vecP;
char fnd[50];
MR mp;
int i,j,k;
Vec *vPtr4;
Vec *vPtr5;
int key;

    mPtr = Map_Start(MULTI_MAP,STR,100);
    vPtr = vecStart(STR,100);
    vPtr1 = vecStart(STR,100);
    vPtr2 = vecStart(STR,100);
    vPtr3 = vecStart(STR,100);

    vecSplit(vPtr,' ',s);
    vecSplit(vPtr1,' ',s1);
    vecSplit(vPtr2,' ',s2);
    vecSplit(vPtr3,' ',s3);

    Map_StrAdd(mPtr,"Vec",(void*)vPtr);
    Map_StrAdd(mPtr,"Vec1",(void*)vPtr1);
    Map_StrAdd(mPtr,"Vec2",(void*)vPtr2);
    Map_StrAdd(mPtr,"Vec3",(void*)vPtr3);

    strcpy(fnd,"Vec3");
    vecP = (Vec *)Map_FindByStrKey(mPtr,fnd);
    if ( vecP != NULL)
    {
            for(i=0;i<vecSize(vecP);i++)
            {
                    printf("Item from vecP = %s\n",vecStrGetOne(vecP,i));
            }
    }
    else printf ("MAP: item=%s not found\n",fnd);

    strcpy(fnd,"Vec1");
    vecP = (Vec *)Map_FindByStrKey(mPtr,fnd);
    if ( vecP != NULL)
    {
            for(i=0;i<vecSize(vecP);i++)
            {
                    printf("Item from vecP = %s\n",vecStrGetOne(vecP,i));
            }
    }
    else printf ("MAP: item=%s not found\n",fnd);

    sz = Map_Size(mPtr);

    for(i=0; i<sz;i++)
    {
        mp = Map_GetByIndx(mPtr,i);
        printf("Map Key=%s \n",mp.key);
        vecP = (Vec*)mp.item;

        if ( vecP != NULL)
        {
                for(j=0;j<vecSize(vecP);j++)
                {
                        printf("Index: %d Item from vecP = %s\n",i,vecStrGetOne(vecP,j));
                }
        }
    }
    Map_Print(mPtr);
    vecStop(vPtr);
    vecStop(vPtr1);
    vecStop(vPtr2);
    vecStop(vPtr3);
    Map_Stop(mPtr);
