Resizing an array with C

Question

I need to have an array of structs in a game I\'m making - but I don\'t want to limit the array to a fixed size. I\'m told there is a way to use realloc to make the array bi

Answer 1

Start off by creating the array:

structName ** sarray = (structName **) malloc(0 * sizeof(structName *));

Always keep track of the size separately:

size_t sarray_len = 0;

To increase or truncate:

sarray = (structName **) realloc(sarray, (sarray_len + offset) * sizeof(structName *));

Then set the size:

sarray_len += offset;

Happy to help and hope that helps.
