Just curious concerning printf("%s => %zu\n", table[i]); , could this be undefined behavior? i guess due to the how the fields of the Item structures field values are laid out in contiguous memory, and printf being variadic , this will print out the fields as specified by the printf format specifiers and all seems good and it is good =) But if this is the case, I am slightly concerned that your cc compilation did not spit out a warning? Great show!
