fragglet/c-algorithms
FreeA library of common data structures and algorithms written in C.
About fragglet/c-algorithms
The C programming language includes a very limited standard library compared to other modern languages. This project provides a collection of common computer science data structures and algorithms written in C. It is structured modularly, allowing developers to trivially copy individual .c and .h files into their own projects without library dependency hassles. Alternatively, the entire collection can be built as a shared library named libcalg. The code is licensed under the permissive ISC license (functionally identical to MIT/BSD), making it suitable for use in any project, whether proprietary or open source. The repository includes a README, documentation, and a website at fragglet.github.io/c-algorithms/. Topics include c, library, algorithm, and data-structures. The latest release (v1.2.0) was on April 26, 2015.
Key Features
Pros & Cons
- Permissive ISC license allows use in any project without legal restrictions
- Modular structure makes it easy to include only needed components
- Covers many fundamental data structures and algorithms in one place
- Last release (v1.2.0) was in April 2015, indicating limited recent maintenance
- Documentation beyond the README and code comments is minimal
- Limited to C language; not applicable to other programming environments
