Detailed Description

The linked list library provides a set of functions for manipulating linked lists.

A linked list is made up of elements where the first element must be a pointer. This pointer is used by the linked list library to form lists of the elements.

Lists are declared with the LIST() macro. The declaration specifies the name of the list that later is used with all list functions.

Lists can be manipulated by inserting or removing elements from either sides of the list (list_push(), list_add(), list_pop(), list_chop()). A specified element can also be removed from inside a list with list_remove(). The head and tail of a list can be extracted using list_head() and list_tail(), respectively.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define LIST ( name )

Value:

static void *LIST_CONCAT(name,_list) = NULL; \

static list_t name = (list_t)&LIST_CONCAT(name,_list)

list_t

void ** list_t

Definition: list.h:135

Declare a linked list.

This macro declares a linked list with the specified type. The type must be a structure (struct) with its first element being a pointer. This pointer is used by the linked list library to form the linked lists.

The list variable is declared as static to make it easy to use in a single C module without unnecessarily exporting the name to other modules.

Parameters

name	The name of the list.

Definition at line 88 of file list.h.

#define LIST_STRUCT ( name )

Value:

void *LIST_CONCAT(name,_list); \

list_t name

Declare a linked list inside a structure declaraction.

This macro declares a linked list with the specified type. The type must be a structure (struct) with its first element being a pointer. This pointer is used by the linked list library to form the linked lists.

Internally, the list is defined as two items: the list itself and a pointer to the list. The pointer has the name of the parameter to the macro and the name of the list is a concatenation of the name and the suffix "_list". The pointer must point to the list for the list to work. Thus the list must be initialized before using.

The list is initialized with the LIST_STRUCT_INIT() macro.

Parameters

name	The name of the list.

Definition at line 110 of file list.h.

#define LIST_STRUCT_INIT	(	struct_ptr,
		name
	)

Value:

do {                                                                \
       (struct_ptr)->name = &((struct_ptr)->LIST_CONCAT(name,_list));   \
       (struct_ptr)->LIST_CONCAT(name,_list) = NULL;                    \
       list_init((struct_ptr)->name);                                   \
    } while(0)

Initialize a linked list that is part of a structure.

This macro sets up the internal pointers in a list that has been defined as part of a struct. This macro must be called before using the list.

Parameters

struct_ptr	A pointer to the struct
name	The name of the list.

Definition at line 124 of file list.h.

Typedef Documentation

typedef void** list_t

The linked list type.

Function Documentation

void list_init ( list_t list )

Initialize a list.

This function initalizes a list. The list will be empty after this function has been called.

Parameters

list	The list to be initialized.

Definition at line 65 of file list.c.

Referenced by ctimer_init(), and mmem_init().

void * list_head ( list_t list )

Get a pointer to the first element of a list.

This function returns a pointer to the first element of the list. The element will not be removed from the list.

Parameters

list The list.

Returns: A pointer to the first element on the list.

See also: list_tail()

Definition at line 82 of file list.c.

Referenced by ctimer_expired().

void list_copy	(	list_t	dest,
		list_t	src
	)

Duplicate a list.

This function duplicates a list by copying the list reference, but not the elements.

Note: This function does not copy the elements of the list, but merely duplicates the pointer to the first element of the list.

Parameters

dest	The destination list.
src	The source list.

Definition at line 100 of file list.c.

void * list_tail ( list_t list )

Get the tail of a list.

This function returns a pointer to the elements following the first element of a list. No elements are removed by this function.

Parameters

list The list

Returns: A pointer to the element after the first element on the list.

See also: list_head()

Definition at line 117 of file list.c.

Referenced by list_add().

void list_add	(	list_t	list,
		void *	item
	)

Add an item at the end of a list.

This function adds an item to the end of the list.

Parameters

list	The list.
item	A pointer to the item to be added.

See also: list_push()

Definition at line 142 of file list.c.

References list_remove(), and list_tail().

Referenced by ctimer_reset(), ctimer_restart(), ctimer_set(), and mmem_alloc().

void list_push	(	list_t	list,
		void *	item
	)

Add an item to the start of the list.

Definition at line 164 of file list.c.

References list_remove().

Referenced by list_insert().

void * list_chop ( list_t list )

Remove the last object on the list.

This function removes the last object on the list and returns it.

Parameters

list The list

Returns: The removed object

Definition at line 185 of file list.c.

void * list_pop ( list_t list )

Remove the first object on a list.

This function removes the first object on the list and returns a pointer to it.

Parameters

list The list.

Returns: Pointer to the removed element of list.

Definition at line 217 of file list.c.

void list_remove	(	list_t	list,
		void *	item
	)

Remove a specific element from a list.

This function removes a specified element from the list.

Parameters

list	The list.
item	The item that is to be removed from the list.

Definition at line 239 of file list.c.

Referenced by ctimer_reset(), ctimer_restart(), ctimer_set(), ctimer_stop(), list_add(), list_push(), and mmem_free().

int list_length ( list_t list )

Get the length of a list.

This function counts the number of elements on a specified list.

Parameters

list The list.

Returns: The length of the list.

Definition at line 274 of file list.c.

void list_insert	(	list_t	list,
		void *	previtem,
		void *	newitem
	)

Insert an item after a specified item on the list.

Parameters

list	The list
previtem	The item after which the new item should be inserted
newitem	The new item that is to be inserted

Author

Adam Dunkels

        This function inserts an item right after a specified
        item on the list. This function is useful when using
        the list module to ordered lists.

        If previtem is NULL, the new item is placed at the
        start of the list.

Definition at line 302 of file list.c.

References list_push().

void * list_item_next ( void * item )

Get the next item following this item.

Parameters

item	A list item

Returns

A next item on the list

        This function takes a list item and returns the next
        item on the list, or NULL if there are no more items on
        the list. This function is used when iterating through
        lists.
