Common datastructure library in C

Hello I have started writing common data structure library in C similar to STL. Here is the link . http://code.google.com/p/cstl/

I struggled a lot of whether to 开发者_如何学运维go ahead with having void* as basic element for data structure. and End up with structure which has two elements

typedef struct __c_lib__object {
    void* raw_data;
    size_t size;
} clib_object, *clib_object_ptr;

This approach allow me to store each element, but it requires lot of memory allocation , during saving and returning back the element from the container.

Can anybody please review this , and let me know if there is any other approach.

Thanks Avinash

Names starting with double-underscore are reserved to 'the implementation' and should be avoided in user code.

Personally, I dislike typedefs for pointers; I'd rather use clib_object *x; than clib_object_ptr x;.

Why do you need to record the size of the object?
