How to elegantly implement a series of functions in different type versions using pure C?

Question

I want to write several functions that are only different in the types of arguments. I know C++ has template to handle this problem well (not very well yet thou

Answer 1

I would also propose Solution 4: write a code generation tool.

Pros:

• result is a clean debuggable code;
• unlimited configurability to your needs (if you have time of course);
• long-term investment to a dev's toolset.

Cons:

• takes some time, esp. at start, not always sutable for write-once code;
• complicates build process a bit.
