Making this more compact

[Mayukh_1]

I have made this code. It is working good. Can anyone please help me to make it more optimised?
Here is the code.

Probably what I am asking for is that using some runtime user input in the push function. At this moment it seems to a problem because how can we give the second enum as a dataType?...Probably some version of gcc or clang may have gcc/clang specific typeof function but those are not much reliable.. I want a platform independent & version independent solution.
