    D-List

    D-List

    An extensive list subsystem, written in C

    D-List is an extensive, production quality, and robust list management subsystem written in C that can be used as a shared library or compiled directly into your project. D-List provides access to 3 classes of lists, and allows extensive manipulation and customization of these lists. D-List lists can also be easily incorporated as primitives into larger treed, or nested data management systems. D-List implements a comprehensive set of linked list primitives that provides multiple forms of both sequential and random element access, bi-directional movement within a list, and an extensive set of list and element manipulation and reordering features. It also provides for an expansive set of user functions that can be added to lists and called automatically, to efficiently implement a broad range of services using the list primitives as underlying technology. It was written primarily for accuracy and speed, and provides extensive debugging support for easy code development.

    A capsule tree is a general purpose, self-balancing tree data structure for large, ordered, data-sets. It is designed to provide the same characteristics as B-trees and B+trees, but built from the ground up for in-memory usage. In other words, there are no provisions for “slow” I/O cases. The original motivation for this tree was a better backend for memory managers. However, the end result was a new sub-category of trees. The implementation giving here is just one implementation of the new tree sub-category, there can be others. In any case, read the PDF: “Capsule Trees - A Primer”, before delving into the code.

    FastFlow: programming multi-core

    FastFlow: programming multi-core

    Pattern-based multi/many-core parallel programming framework

    FastFlow is a C/C++ programming framework supporting the development of pattern-based parallel programs on multi/many-core, GPUs and distributed platforms. FastFlow run-time is built upon non-blocking threads and lock-free queues. Thanks to its very efficient CAS-free communication/synchronization support (e.g. few clock cycles core-to-core latency), FastFlow effectively supports the exploitation of fine grain parallelism, e.g. parallel codes managing very high frequency streams on commodity multi-core. FastFlow works on x86, x86_64, PPC, ARM, and Linux, Mac and Win XP/7. From Jan 1, 2018 code development migrated on GitHub at https://github.com/fastflow/fastflow

    StructPie

    StructPie

    A set of C libraries to implement data structures and algorithms

    Struct-Pie (Structures Pie) is a set of C shared libraries to implement data structures and algorithms so that they can be used/integrated easily into C projects. LIFO & FIFO Stack, Binary Search Tree, Priority Queue and a Hash Table are implemented and included in this package. Future releases will have many other data structures. The hash table in this package uses separate chaining to avoid collision. In the "hash_table" directory, the hash table implementation uses linked lists. While in "HashBSTree" directory, a hash table with a binary tree in each index is implemented for faster lookup in large data. The stack, the tree and the hash table accept int, float and char* data type To look at the python library : https://github.com/mnoorfawi/struct-pie

    libcutils

    Some Useful C-Utilities

    Libcutils provides a self-contained set of fundamental routines which are essential to basically any Unix utility or daemon application written in C. The library provides fundamental data structures such as lists, hash-maps, strings and parsing functions for JSON or the typical dot-file based configuration data. The following list summarizes the currently supported functionality: * length delimited instead of NULL terminated strings * memory management based on reference counting * several list processing functions like iterators and map-reduce * support of [Ideal Hash Tries](http://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/64398/files/idealhashtrees.pdf) for highly efficient hash map data structures * parsers for [JSON](http://json.org) data and the text configuration files found in Unix system * doubly linked circular lists for reliable event queues * support for test and debugging of memory management problems such as memory leaks
