libmaps

Associative maps built on top of the AVL tree for C programming language.

This super-simple library has no unit tests (I would discourage from using it in serious use) and supports only int-int maps (see example). This could be changed to any type (preferably void pointers), but for now I'm leaving this the way it is.

And it should be blazingly fast.

Example

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "libmaps/libmaps.h"

int main() {
    map numbers = make_map_int_int();
    if (numbers == NULL) {
        return 1;
    }

    int *check;
    check = insert(numbers, 1, 4370483);
    if (check == NULL) {
        return 1;
    }
    check = insert(numbers, 2, 5501881);
    if (check == NULL) {
        return 1;
    }
    check = insert(numbers, 3, 7824519);
    if (check == NULL) {
        return 1;
    }

    int *number = lookup(numbers, 3);
    if (number == NULL) {
        return 1;
    }
    printf("(29) %d: %d\n", 3, *number);

    delete(numbers, 2);

    number = lookup(numbers, 2);
    if (number == NULL) {
        printf("(35) Number of ID 2 not found!\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

Output:

(29) 3: 7824519
(35) Number of ID 2 not found!
