# STC [cvec](../include/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
#define i_type // full typename of the container
#define i_val // value: REQUIRED
#define i_cmp // three-way compare two i_valraw* : REQUIRED IF i_valraw is a non-integral type
#define i_valdrop // destroy value func - defaults to empty destruct
#define i_valclone // REQUIRED IF i_valdrop defined
#define i_valraw // convertion "raw" type - defaults to i_val
#define i_valfrom // convertion func i_valraw => i_val
#define i_valto // convertion func i_val* => i_valraw
#define i_tag // alternative typename: cvec_{i_tag}. i_tag defaults to i_val
#include <stc/cvec.h>
```
`X` should be replaced by the value of `i_tag` in all of the following documentation.

## Types
| Type name | Type definition | Used to represent... |
|:-------------------|:----------------------------------|:-----------------------|
| `cvec_X` | `struct { cvec_X_value* data; }` | The cvec type |
| `cvec_X_value` | `i_val` | The cvec value type |
| `cvec_X_raw` | `i_valraw` | The raw value type |
| `cvec_X_iter` | `struct { cvec_X_value* ref; }` | The iterator type |
## Examples
```c
#define i_val int
#include <stc/cvec.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
// Create a vector containing integers
cvec_int vec = {0};
// Add two integers to vector
cvec_int_push(&vec, 25);
cvec_int_push(&vec, 13);
// Append a set of numbers
c_forlist (i, int, {7, 5, 16, 8})
cvec_int_push(&vec, *i.ref);
printf("initial:");
c_foreach (k, cvec_int, vec) {
printf(" %d", *k.ref);
}
// Sort the vector
cvec_int_sort(&vec);
printf("\nsorted:");
c_foreach (k, cvec_int, vec) {
printf(" %d", *k.ref);
}
cvec_int_drop(&vec);
}
```
Output:
```
initial: 25 13 7 5 16 8
sorted: 5 7 8 13 16 25
```
### Example 2
```c
#define i_implement
#include <stc/cstr.h>
#define i_val_str
#include <stc/cvec.h>
int main() {
cvec_str names = cvec_str_init();
cvec_str_emplace(&names, "Mary");
cvec_str_emplace(&names, "Joe");
cstr_assign(&names.data[1], "Jake"); // replace "Joe".
cstr tmp = cstr_from_fmt("%d elements so far", cvec_str_size(names));
// cvec_str_emplace() only accept const char*, so use push():
cvec_str_push(&names, tmp); // tmp is "moved" to names (must not be dropped).
printf("%s\n", cstr_str(&names.data[1])); // Access second element
c_foreach (i, cvec_str, names)
printf("item: %s\n", cstr_str(i.ref));
cvec_str_drop(&names);
}
```
Output:
```
Jake
item: Mary
item: Jake
item: 2 elements so far
```
### Example 3
Container with elements of structs:
```c
#define i_implement
#include <stc/cstr.h>
typedef struct {
cstr name; // dynamic string
int id;
} User;
int User_cmp(const User* a, const User* b) {
int c = strcmp(cstr_str(&a->name), cstr_str(&b->name));
return c ? c : a->id - b->id;
}
void User_drop(User* self) {
cstr_drop(&self->name);
}
User User_clone(User user) {
user.name = cstr_clone(user.name);
return user;
}
// Declare a managed, clonable vector of users.
#define i_type UVec
#define i_valclass User // User is a "class" as it has _cmp, _clone and _drop functions.
#include <stc/cvec.h>
int main(void) {
UVec vec = {0};
UVec_push(&vec, (User){cstr_lit("mary"), 0});
UVec_push(&vec, (User){cstr_lit("joe"), 1});
UVec_push(&vec, (User){cstr_lit("admin"), 2});
UVec vec2 = UVec_clone(vec);
c_foreach (i, UVec, vec2)
printf("%s: %d\n", cstr_str(&i.ref->name), i.ref->id);
c_drop(UVec, &vec, &vec2); // cleanup
}
```
