You can use put() as normal, if you don't mind the need to explicitly throw in a typecast when you use it. In fact, strintmap_set() does no more than typecasting the int to void* and otherwise calling strmap_put(). I initially called that strintmap_put(), but got confused once or twice and looked up the function definition to make sure there wasn't some deallocation I needed to handle. After that, I decided to just rename to _set() because I thought it'd reduce the chance of myself or others wondering about that in the future. > > > A note on the name: strintmap looks and sounds pretty lame to me, but > > after trying to come up with something better and having no luck, I > > figured I'd just go with it for a while and then at some point some > > better and obvious name would strike me and I could replace it.

But I've seen stranger things. :) I like this idea and the extra safety it provides. Most of strintmap is static inline functions anyway, adding a few more wouldn't hurt.
