I have some C structures related to a 'list' data structure. They look like this.

struct nmlist_element_s {
    void *data;
    struct nmlist_element_s *next;
};
typedef struct nmlist_element_s nmlist_element;

struct nmlist_s {
    void (*destructor)(void *data);
    int (*cmp)(const void *e1, const void *e2);
    unsigned int size;
    nmlist_element *head;
    nmlist_element *tail;
};
typedef struct nmlist_s nmlist;

This way I can have different data types being hold in "nmlist_element->data" . The "constructor" (in terms of OOP) has the following signature:

nmlist *nmlist_alloc(void (*destructor)(void *data));

Where "destructor" is specific function that de-allocated "data" (being hold by the nmlist_element).

If I want to have a list containing integers as data, my "destructor" would like this:

void int_destructor(void *data)
{
    free((int*)data);
}

Still i find it rather "unfriendly" for me to write a destructor functions for every simple primitive data type. So is there a trick to write something like this ? (for primitives):

void "x"_destructor(void *data, "x")
{
    free(("x" *)data);
}

PS: I am not a macro fan myself, and in my short experience regarding C, i don't use them, unless necessary.
