There is a huge amount of C code underlying most things, including the Linux kernel, most compilers, the Python interpreter, etc. At the same time, C doesn’t have dynamic arrays as a built in type but they are often critical to the operation of all of those. So, C developers keep implementing them in specialized ways for all of their applications.
Can someone ELI5 the c dynamic arrays - how does this fit into the infrastructure?
