How to emulate map literals in C?

• STC

  89 1,104 9.2 C

  A modern, user friendly, generic, type-safe and fast C99 container library: String, Vector, Sorted and Unordered Map and Set, Deque, Forward List, Smart Pointers, Bitset and Random numbers. (by stclib)

  

Probably a function with a switch statement if the map is small. Otherwise, with my STC lib, you can do:

• nnn

  200 18,170 8.1 C

  n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager

u/N-R-K followed up with a neat Robin Hood hash that's been merged into nnn.

• InfluxDB

  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.

  

• gperf

  7 2 4.7 C++

  mirror of git.savannah.gnu.org/gperf.git with more features. gitlab has the issues

Adding to this, there are tools such as gperf which are specifically designed for this. Apparently gperf works well for smaller number of keys but not for really high n (> 100,000 ish) and mph apparently works better for larger n.
