”… why…do something silly like that”

It’s not me, the library works like this:

struct _host {
  int status;
  str name;
};

typedef struct _host host;

void host_free(host *);
host host_copy(host *);

#define T host // <- custom type
#include <deq.h>

// functions to implement
void host_free(host *h) { str_free(&h->name); }

host host_copy(host *h) {
  host _ = *h;
  _.name = str_copy(&h->name);
  return _;
}

The library then provides:

container_type_push_back
container_type_pop_back   
container_type_push_front 
container_type_pop_front

[download]

…and some more, depending on the container.

If the container is a deq (dequeue) and its type named fubar this would result in deq_fubar_push_back and so on. Instead of a simple push in a well know post-modern language. One may regret this but it is like it is. And I don't know how else to do it. Apart from the fact that I can't write such macros.

Other libraries, like m*lib work similiar - m*lib does this excessively.
