Do standard C library implementations, especially glibc (the GNU C Library) provide linked lists, stack et al. data structures, or do we have to roll our own?

Thanks.

The C Standard does not provide data structures like linked list and stack.Some compiler implementations might provide their own versions but their usage will be non portable across different compilers.

So Yes, You have to write your own.
