• How do you deal with C's lack of true generics / templates?

  Now for that disgusting pile of steaming hot spaghetti, the implementation itself. Basically the macros used are defined across a number of headers: Hacks.h (not everything is relevant here, mostly the stuff to do with counting, retrieving last arg, maps, etc.), Generics.h, Generic.h (this will probably be renamed to Generic1.h as it’s only used for single parameter templates generics), and finally Template.h which is where most of the heavy lifting is being done. So yeh, it’s disgusting but it works... but it’s disgusting. So please please please no one think about using it, it will without a doubt make your life miserable (and it will make my life miserable if I have to support this) as it’s almost a guarantee that there’ll be use cases that haven’t been handled and most likely has tons of bugs hiding in that mess.
