I have done far more C++ programming than \"plain old C\" programming. One thing I sorely miss when programming in plain C is type-safe generic data structures, which are p

It's easy to use:

   *( numbers = ll_new(numbers) ) = 200;

   printf("num is %d\n", *numbers);
   numbers = ll_next(numbers);
   printf("num is %d\n", *numbers);

   typedef struct _s {
      char *word;
   } s;

   s *string = NULL;
   *( string = ll_new(string) ) = (s) {"a string"};
   *( string = ll_new(string) ) = (s) {"another string"};

   printf("string is %s\n", string->word);
   string = ll_next( string );
   printf("string is %s\n", string->word);

   return 0;
}

Output:

num is 200
num is 100
string is another string
string is a string
