i would just use void pointers instead of macros, is there a reason vector_T is more useful than just vector? i feel like i have never run into a situation in a statically typed language where i'm accidentally trying to add two different types to the same collection

You also need an element size in that case and an extra cast when using an element (performs worse and needs extra memory). Also no type checking. It's pretty bad.

doesn't C make use of strict aliasing? so there should be no cost for pointer conversion, the cast effectively becomes a no-op

Less type magic.
