A generic linked list is just that - any linked list whose implementation has the prerequisite features of a "linked list" (listed in the link).

You can find a great deal on this by Google searching.

A generic linked list, in C, is a linked list with a void* in the node for the data.

By typecasting, you can use the linked list for any type.

And please, for heaven's sake, do not carry this concept into C++. void* are deprecated in C++.

Anyone know why that is? I mean the deprecated null pointer.... I ran into some situations that required it in directx. It had to do with passing lists of points to draw routines. Is there some syntax to replace the functionality? or is one of those things that they just assume is bad design if you need to use it?
