# STC [cvec](../stc/cvec.h): Vector

A **cvec** is a sequence container that encapsulates dynamic size arrays.
The storage of the vector is handled automatically, being expanded and contracted as needed. Vectors usually occupy more space than static arrays, because more memory is allocated to handle future growth. This way a vector does not need to reallocate each time an element is inserted, but only when the additional memory is exhausted. The total amount of allocated memory can be queried using *cvec_X_capacity()* function. Extra memory can be returned to the system via a call to *cvec_X_shrink_to_fit()*.
Reallocations are usually costly operations in terms of performance. The *cvec_X_reserve()* function can be used to eliminate reallocations if the number of elements is known beforehand.
See the c++ class [std::vector](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector) for a functional description.
## Header file and declaration
```c
#include <stc/cvec.h>
using_cvec(X, Value);
using_cvec(X, Value, valueCompare);
using_cvec(X, Value, valueCompare, valueDel, valueClone = c_no_clone);
using_cvec(X, Value, valueCompareRaw, valueDel, valueFromRaw, valueToRaw, RawValue);
using_cvec_str(); // using_cvec(str, cstr, ...)
```
The macro `using_cvec()` must be instantiated in the global scope. `X` is a type tag name and
will affect the names of all cvec types and methods. E.g. declaring `using_cvec(i, int);`, `X` should
be replaced by `i` in all of the following documentation.
`using_cvec_str()` is a shorthand for:
```
using_cvec(str, cstr, cstr_compare_raw, cstr_del, cstr_from, cstr_c_str, const char*)
```
## Methods
```c
cvec_X cvec_X_init(void);
cvec_X cvec_X_with_size(size_t size, Value fill);
cvec_X cvec_X_with_capacity(size_t size);
cvec_X cvec_X_clone(cvec_X vec);
void cvec_X_clear(cvec_X* self);
void cvec_X_shrink_to_fit(cvec_X* self);
void cvec_X_reserve(cvec_X* self, size_t cap);
void cvec_X_resize(cvec_X* self, size_t size, Value fill);
void cvec_X_swap(cvec_X* a, cvec_X* b);
void cvec_X_del(cvec_X* self); // destructor
bool cvec_X_empty(cvec_X vec);
size_t cvec_X_size(cvec_X vec);
size_t cvec_X_capacity(cvec_X vec);
cvec_X_value_t* cvec_X_at(const cvec_X* self, size_t idx);
cvec_X_value_t* cvec_X_front(const cvec_X* self);
cvec_X_value_t* cvec_X_back(const cvec_X* self);
void cvec_X_push_back(cvec_X* self, Value value);
void cvec_X_emplace_back(cvec_X* self, RawValue raw);
void cvec_X_pop_back(cvec_X* self);
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_insert(cvec_X* self, cvec_X_iter_t it, Value value); // expects new/cloned value
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_insert_range(cvec_X* self, cvec_X_iter_t it,
cvec_X_iter_t i1, cvec_X_iter_t i2); // clones input values
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_insert_at(cvec_X* self, size_t idx, const Value[] arr, size_t n); // clones input values
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_emplace(cvec_X* self, cvec_X_iter_t it, RawValue raw);
void cvec_X_emplace_n(cvec_X *self, const RawValue arr[], size_t n); // emplace_back only
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_erase_it(cvec_X* self, cvec_X_iter_t it);
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_erase_range(cvec_X* self, cvec_X_iter_t i1, cvec_X_iter_t i2);
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_erase_n(cvec_X* self, size_t idx, size_t n);
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_find(const cvec_X* self, RawValue raw);
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_find_in(cvec_X_iter_t i1, cvec_X_iter_t i2, RawValue raw);
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_bsearch(const cvec_X* self, RawValue raw);
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_bsearch_in(cvec_X_iter_t i1, cvec_X_iter_t i2, RawValue raw);
void cvec_X_sort(cvec_X* self);
void cvec_X_sort_range(cvec_X_iter_t i1, cvec_X_iter_t i2,
int(*cmp)(const cvec_X_value_t*, const cvec_X_value_t*));
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_begin(const cvec_X* self);
cvec_X_iter_t cvec_X_end(const cvec_X* self);
void cvec_X_next(cvec_X_iter_t* iter);
size_t cvec_X_index(const cvec_X vec, cvec_X_iter_t it);
cvec_X_value_t cvec_X_value_clone(cvec_X_value_t val);
```
## Types
| Type name | Type definition | Used to represent... |
|:---------------------|:------------------------------------|:-----------------------|
| `cvec_X` | `struct { cvec_X_value_t* data; }` | The cvec type |
| `cvec_X_value_t` | `Value` | The cvec value type |
| `cvec_X_rawvalue_t` | `RawValue` | The raw value type |
| `cvec_X_iter_t` | `struct { cvec_X_value_t* ref; }` | The iterator type |
## Examples
```c
#include <stc/cvec.h>
#include <stdio.h>
using_cvec(i, int);
int main()
{
// Create a vector containing integers
cvec_i vec = cvec_i_init();
c_emplace_items(&vec, cvec_i, {7, 5, 16, 8});
// Add two more integers to vector
cvec_i_push_back(&vec, 25);
cvec_i_push_back(&vec, 13);
printf("initial: ");
c_foreach (n, cvec_i, vec) {
printf(" %d", *n.ref);
}
// Sort the vector
cvec_i_sort(&vec);
printf("\nsorted: ");
c_foreach (n, cvec_i, vec) {
printf(" %d", *n.ref);
}
cvec_i_del(&vec);
}
```
Output:
```
initial: 7 5 16 8 25 13
sorted: 5 7 8 13 16 25
```
### Example 2
```c
#include <stc/cvec.h>
#include <stc/cstr.h>
using_cvec_str();
int main() {
cvec_str names = cvec_str_init();
cvec_str_emplace_back(&names, "Mary");
cvec_str_emplace_back(&names, "Joe");
cstr_assign(&names.data[1], "Jake"); // replace "Joe".
cstr tmp = cstr_from_fmt("%d elements so far", cvec_str_size(names));
// emplace_back() will not compile if adding a new cstr type. Use push_back():
cvec_str_push_back(&names, tmp); // tmp is moved to names, do not del() it.
printf("%s\n", names.data[1].str); // Access the second element
c_foreach (i, cvec_str, names)
printf("item: %s\n", i.ref->str);
cvec_str_del(&names);
}
```
Output:
```
Jake
item: Mary
item: Jake
item: 2 elements so far
```
### Example 3
Container with elements of structs:
```c
#include <stc/cstr.h>
#include <stc/cvec.h>
typedef struct {
cstr name; // dynamic string
int id;
} User;
int User_compare(const User* a, const User* b) {
int c = strcmp(a->name.str, b->name.str);
return c != 0 ? c : a->id - b->id;
}
void User_del(User* self) {
cstr_del(&self->name);
}
User User_clone(User user) {
user.name = cstr_clone(user.name);
return user;
}
// declare a memory managed, clonable vector of users:
using_cvec(u, User, User_compare, User_del, User_clone);
int main(void) {
cvec_u vec = cvec_u_init();
cvec_u_push_back(&vec, (User) {cstr_from("admin"), 0});
cvec_u_push_back(&vec, (User) {cstr_from("joe"), 1});
cvec_u vec2 = cvec_u_clone(vec);
c_foreach (i, cvec_u, vec2)
printf("%s: %d\n", i.ref->name.str, i.ref->id);
c_del(cvec_u, &vec, &vec2); // cleanup
}
```
