C Language Standard Collections Where Are They?

Tags:

c

collections

I have committed to learning C now, I'm good with Python/PHP/Bash but I've decided I'm limited by not being fluent in C. However I cannot imagine working in a language without lists and hashes, maybe I'm just jumping a gun, but surely there are 'standard' collection libraries. I do not see any in the GNU standard lib though, any suggestions?

There is no "standard" set of collection classes for C. Many people simply roll their own as needed.

But of course, there are some libraries filling this gap. For example, glib offers linked lists, hashtables and various kinds of trees.

C is lower level than you're used to. There are no standard collections in C outside of the array.
