Agreed on all counts.
I've been starting to think oidtree/cbtree would be better
done as BSD-style macro-defined functions (similar to how
khash.h is, or sys/{queue,tree}.h on *BSD systems).
I prefer Linux(kernel)-style container_of generics since I find
them easier-to-follow and have extra type-checking, but with a
flex-array it's not pedantically correct.
So I guess using CPP like khash does might be a better way to
go, here.
Thoughts?
Side note: I've also been considering Perl as a more powerful
CPP replacement so I could use the same code for a persistent
on-disk store (it would be easier to swap in pread/mmap use).
An on-disk format could make it good for refs and pre-packed
object storage (perhaps replacing loose objects).
