I beg of you to not break backwards compatibility.

[Twilight Suzuka]

I'll...try? I'm going to trey NOT to break COMPILE backwards compatibility, but I will HAVE to break RUNTIME compatibility.

[Zenith77]

Why must you do such an evil thing? Your module is the only thing keeping my previous projects alive :p.

All you have to do is recompile to make your old plugin work again!

[Zenith77]

Oh. I thought you meant like you would change the natives and stuff.

[Twilight Suzuka]

Maybe I will, but it shouldn't compile time break.

[Seta00]

Anyone can confirm if this works?

[DreamC]

Wondering the same. As i would like to use Vector.
Or ill try it myself in a few days.

I started testing this module myself because I find it useful. I'll continue updating this post as I gather new information.

Any

The Any objects seem to hold one value. Looks like a good thing to use when in need of storing a mixed value in a single variable (object, the actual variable is the pointer). You can use any_type to find out what value type is stored in the object.

Plugin:

#include < amxmodx >
#include < memx >

public plugin_init( )
{
    
    new Any: anyTest = any_create( )
    any_set_string( anyTest, "hello world!" )
    
    new szStr[ 20 ]
    any_get_string( anyTest, szStr, charsmax( szStr ) )
    
    log_amx( "string: %s", szStr )
    
    any_set_int( anyTest, 1 )
    
    log_amx( "int: %d", any_get_int( anyTest ) )
    
    any_set_float( anyTest, 2145.153 )
    
    log_amx( "float: %.3f", any_get_float( anyTest ) )
    
    log_amx( "type: %d", any_type( anyTest ) )
    
    any_destroy( anyTest )
    
}

Queue
Allows to push items to an array and read (remove) the items which were stored first.
Don't use, doesn't work properly - access violations everywhere (even though it sounds really useful).


Deque
Same as above, except it allows pushing items from both ends.
Same as above, don't use.


Pair
A pair couples two values of any type together. More complex ways can involve pairing the pairs themselves, but I haven't tried that yet.

Plugin:

#include < amxmodx >
#include < memx >

public plugin_init( )
{
    
    new Pair: pair = pair_create( )
    {
        pair_set_first_int( pair, 1 )
        pair_set_second_string( pair, "hello world!" )
        
        new szOutput[ 12 ]
        pair_get_second_string( pair, szOutput, charsmax( szOutput ) )
        
        log_amx( "pair: %d - %s", pair_get_first_int( pair ), szOutput )
    }
    
    new Pair: pair2 = pair_create( )
    {
        pair_set_first_float( pair2, 127.132 )
        pair_set_second_vector( pair2, Float: { 14.1, 15.233, 16.12 } )
        
        new Float: fvec[ 3 ]
        pair_get_second_vector( pair2, fvec )
        
        log_amx( "pair2: %.3f - {%.3f,%.3f,%.3f}", pair_get_first_float( pair2 ), fvec[ 0 ], fvec[ 1 ], fvec[ 2 ] )
    }
    pair_destroy( pair )
    pair_destroy( pair2 )
}

L 07/01/2013 - 15:02:02: [testplugin.amxx] pair: 1 - hello world

Stack
Stacks are similar to queues, but the last item pushed to the stack is the first one to get removed.

Plugin:

Spoiler

#include < amxmodx >
#include < memx >

public plugin_init( )
{
    
    new Stack: stack = stack_create( )
    
    stack_push_float( stack, 1.23 )
    stack_push_int( stack, 2 )
    stack_push_float( stack, 3.11 )
    
    log_amx( "top: %.3f", stack_top_float( stack ) )
    
    stack_pop( stack )
    
    log_amx( "top: %d", stack_top_int( stack ) )
    
    stack_destroy( stack )
}

Crashes server when using strings. Only tried float, int and strings.


CONCLUSION
THIS MODULE IS BROKEN. DON'T USE IT
