/* Doubly linked list.
This implementation of a doubly linked list does not require
use of dynamically allocated memory. Instead, each structure
that is a potential list element must embed a struct list_elem
member. All of the list functions operate on these `struct
list_elem's. The list_entry macro allows conversion from a
struct list_elem back to a structure object that contains it.
For example, suppose there is a needed for a list of `struct
foo'. `struct foo' should contain a `struct list_elem'
member, like so:
struct foo
{
struct list_elem elem;
int bar;
...other members...
};
Then a list of `struct foo' can be be declared and initialized
like so:
struct list foo_list;
list_init (&foo_list);
Iteration is a typical situation where it is necessary to
convert from a struct list_elem back to its enclosing
structure. Here's an example using foo_list:
struct list_elem *e;
for (e = list_begin (&foo_list); e != list_end (&foo_list);
e = list_next (e))
{
struct foo *f = list_entry (e, struct foo, elem);
...do something with f...
}
You can find real examples of list usage throughout the
source; for example, malloc.c, palloc.c, and thread.c in the
threads directory all use lists.
The interface for this list is inspired by the list<> template
in the C++ STL. If you're familiar with list<>, you should
find this easy to use. However, it should be emphasized that
these lists do *no* type checking and can't do much other
correctness checking. If you screw up, it will bite you.
Glossary of list terms:
- "front": The first element in a list. Undefined in an
empty list. Returned by list_front().
- "back": The last element in a list. Undefined in an empty
list. Returned by list_back().
- "tail": The element figuratively just after the last
element of a list. Well defined even in an empty list.
Returned by list_end(). Used as the end sentinel for an
iteration from front to back.
- "beginning": In a non-empty list, the front. In an empty
list, the tail. Returned by list_begin(). Used as the
starting point for an iteration from front to back.
- "head": The element figuratively just before the first
element of a list. Well defined even in an empty list.
Returned by list_rend(). Used as the end sentinel for an
iteration from back to front.
- "reverse beginning": In a non-empty list, the back. In an
empty list, the head. Returned by list_rbegin(). Used as
the starting point for an iteration from back to front.
- "interior element": An element that is not the head or
tail, that is, a real list element. An empty list does
not have any interior elements.
