Null terminated -arrays are used across whole project because they are simple and don't waste -memory space. Their disadvantage is more complicated implementation of utility -functions and much longer adding time (they are reallocated every time new data -are added). - -This implementation is limited to only contains 255 elements(limited by uint8_t -type). But it should be enough for basic usage. If you need store more than that, -you should use different approach. Also only pointers can be stored. - -To define null terminated array just define pointer to you required pointer and set -it to NULL. Such narray is handled as empty. Example: -```C -int **narray = 0; -``` -After adding some data (in example case data of type `int*`) you can access them -same as if you would working with simple array (`narray[i]`). Last element it such -array is `NULL`. No more valid data are stored after `NULL` (This also means that -`NULL` can't be stored to narray). - -All functions are taking as parameter `void ***array`, which is pointer to null -terminated array. This parameter won't be described in functions. - -## Functions and macros -### narray_add -```C -void narray_add(void ***array, void *data) -``` -Add data to end of the array. This increases size of the array by one (two bytes). -#### Parameters -| data | data to be stored to array | - -### narray_remove -```C -void narray_remove(void ***array, void *data) -``` -Remove specified data from array. This effectively decreases size of the array by -one (two bytes). -#### Parameters -| data | data to be removed from array | - -### narray_size -```C -size_t narray_size(void ***array) -``` -Returns size of array. - -### narray_free -```C -inline void narray_free(void ***array) -``` -Frees whole array if allocated. - -### fornarray -```C -#define fornarray(array, i, data) for (i = 0; (data = array[i]) != 0; i++) -``` -This is macro. It implements simple foreach cycle. -#### Parameters -| array | array it self (void ** not pointer) | -| i | unsigned integer (uint8_t) | -| data | variable which will be used to access data | |
