3 * ilist.h
4 * integrated/inline doubly- and singly-linked lists
6 * These list types are useful when there are only a predetermined set of
7 * lists that an object could be in. List links are embedded directly into
8 * the objects, and thus no extra memory management overhead is required.
9 * (Of course, if only a small proportion of existing objects are in a list,
10 * the link fields in the remainder would be wasted space. But usually,
11 * it saves space to not have separately-allocated list nodes.)
13 * None of the functions here allocate any memory; they just manipulate
14 * externally managed memory. The APIs for singly and doubly linked lists
15 * are identical as far as capabilities of both allow.
17 * Each list has a list header, which exists even when the list is empty.
18 * An empty singly-linked list has a NULL pointer in its header.
19 * There are two kinds of empty doubly linked lists: those that have been
20 * initialized to NULL, and those that have been initialized to circularity.
21 * (If a dlist is modified and then all its elements are deleted, it will be
22 * in the circular state.) We prefer circular dlists because there are some
23 * operations that can be done without branches (and thus faster) on lists
24 * that use circular representation. However, it is often convenient to
25 * initialize list headers to zeroes rather than setting them up with an
26 * explicit initialization function, so we also allow the other case.
28 * EXAMPLES
30 * Here's a simple example demonstrating how this can be used. Let's assume
31 * we want to store information about the tables contained in a database.
33 * #include "lib/ilist.h"
35 * // Define struct for the databases including a list header that will be
36 * // used to access the nodes in the table list later on.
37 * typedef struct my_database
38 * {
39 * char *datname;
40 * dlist_head tables;
41 * // ...
42 * } my_database;
44 * // Define struct for the tables. Note the list_node element which stores
45 * // prev/next list links. The list_node element need not be first.
46 * typedef struct my_table
47 * {
48 * char *tablename;
49 * dlist_node list_node;
50 * perm_t permissions;
51 * // ...
52 * } my_table;
54 * // create a database
55 * my_database *db = create_database();
57 * // and add a few tables to its table list
58 * dlist_push_head(&db->tables, &create_table(db, "a")->list_node);
59 * ...
60 * dlist_push_head(&db->tables, &create_table(db, "b")->list_node);
63 * To iterate over the table list, we allocate an iterator variable and use
64 * a specialized looping construct. Inside a dlist_foreach, the iterator's
65 * 'cur' field can be used to access the current element. iter.cur points to
66 * a 'dlist_node', but most of the time what we want is the actual table
67 * information; dlist_container() gives us that, like so:
69 * dlist_iter iter;
70 * dlist_foreach(iter, &db->tables)
71 * {
72 * my_table *tbl = dlist_container(my_table, list_node, iter.cur);
73 * printf("we have a table: %s in database %s\n",
74 * tbl->tablename, db->datname);
75 * }
78 * While a simple iteration is useful, we sometimes also want to manipulate
79 * the list while iterating. There is a different iterator element and looping
80 * construct for that. Suppose we want to delete tables that meet a certain
81 * criterion:
83 * dlist_mutable_iter miter;
84 * dlist_foreach_modify(miter, &db->tables)
85 * {
86 * my_table *tbl = dlist_container(my_table, list_node, miter.cur);
88 * if (!tbl->to_be_deleted)
89 * continue; // don't touch this one
91 * // unlink the current table from the linked list
92 * dlist_delete(miter.cur);
93 * // as these lists never manage memory, we can still access the table
94 * // after it's been unlinked
95 * drop_table(db, tbl);
96 * }
