vector.h is a production-ready, macro-based C library that generates type-safe dynamic arrays for any data type, offering compile-time type checking, fast iteration, and robust memory management with zero dependencies. Unlike alternatives like stb_ds.h, it provides enhanced type safety, optimized performance, and superior debugging experience while maintaining C89 compatibility across all major compilers and architectures.
