How do you deal with the extra verbosity of C?

• CC

  21 101 4.3 C

  A small, usability-oriented generic container library.

Shameless plug: Take a look a my library Convenient Containers, which solves this exact problem within the (narrow) domain of data structures.

• stent

  8 35 2.6 C

  Completely avoid dangling pointers in C.

In many ways it is up to you to design your APIs to be less verbose. For example, my vector type (from here) looks like:

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• stb

  164 25,128 6.4 C

  stb single-file public domain libraries for C/C++

As far as things like "vector of ints" are concerned, there may be other approaches like STB dynamic arrays where you simply wouldn't have anything like list_vector_int_size().
