Introduction
One of the challenging aspects of implementing a generic linked list is to write a proper allocGenericNode function, which works correctly regardless of the data type.
The other aspect is to figure out how to abstract the concrete handling of data types to keep the linked list functions generic. Our current approach is to pass function pointers as arguments to customize the code behavior for each data type. ...
