I am trying to implement this function in C, it requires handling different types of data, in C++ I only use a template, but in C I don’t know how to handle it.

template<class T> int EEPROM_put(int ee, const T& value) {
const byte* p = (const byte*)(const void*)&value;
unsigned int i;

for (i = 0; i < sizeof(value); i++) foo(ee++, *p++);
return i;
 }

template<class T> int EEPROM_get(int ee, T& value) {
byte* p = (byte*)(void*)&value;
unsigned int i;

for (i = 0; i < sizeof(value); i++) *p++ = foo(ee++);
return i;
}

Try the following, but it only accepts one data type, and the EEPROM_get function is not working.

int EEPROM_put(int ee, u16 value){
    const u8* p = (const u8*)(const void*)&value;
    unsigned int i;

    for (i = 0; i < sizeof(value); i++) {
        eeprom_write_1byte(ee++, *p++); Delay_Ms(10);
    }
    return i;
}

int EEPROM_get(int ee,  u16 value) {
  u8* p = (u8*)(void*)&value;
  unsigned int i;

  for (i = 0; i < sizeof(value); i++) {
      *p++ = eeprom_read_1byte(ee++); Delay_Ms(10);
  }
  return i;
}

Is there a way to have an equivalent in C?
