DESCRIPTION
These macros define and operate on doubly linked circular queues.In the macro definitions, TYPE is the name of a user-defined structure, that must contain a field of type CIRCLEQ_ENTRY, named NAME. The argument HEADNAME is the name of a user-defined structure that must be declared using the macro CIRCLEQ_HEAD().
A circular queue is headed by a structure defined by the CIRCLEQ_HEAD() macro. This structure contains a pair of pointers, one to the first element in the circular queue and the other to the last element in the circular queue. The elements are doubly linked so that an arbitrary element can be removed without traversing the circular queue. New elements can be added to the circular queue after an existing element, before an existing element, at the head of the circular queue, or at the end of the circular queue. A CIRCLEQ_HEAD structure is declared as follows:
CIRCLEQ_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
where struct HEADNAME is the structure to be defined, and struct TYPE is the type of the elements to be linked into the circular queue. A pointer to the head of the circular queue can later be declared as:
struct HEADNAME *headp;
(The names head and headp are user selectable.)
The macro CIRCLEQ_HEAD_INITIALIZER() evaluates to an initializer for the circular queue head.
The macro CIRCLEQ_EMPTY() evaluates to true if there are no items on the circular queue.
The macro CIRCLEQ_ENTRY() declares a structure that connects the elements in the circular queue.
The macro CIRCLEQ_FIRST() returns the first item on the circular queue.
The macro CIRCLEQ_FOREACH() traverses the circular queue referenced by head in the forward direction, assigning each element in turn to var. var is set to &head if the loop completes normally, or if there were no elements.
The macro CIRCLEQ_FOREACH_REVERSE() traverses the circular queue referenced by head in the reverse direction, assigning each element in turn to var.
The macro CIRCLEQ_INIT() initializes the circular queue referenced by head.
The macro CIRCLEQ_INSERT_HEAD() inserts the new element elm at the head of the circular queue.
The macro CIRCLEQ_INSERT_TAIL() inserts the new element elm at the end of the circular queue.
The macro CIRCLEQ_INSERT_AFTER() inserts the new element elm after the element listelm.
The macro CIRCLEQ_INSERT_BEFORE() inserts the new element elm before the element listelm.
The macro CIRCLEQ_LAST() returns the last item on the circular queue.
The macro CIRCLEQ_NEXT() returns the next item on the circular queue, or &head if this item is the last one.
The macro CIRCLEQ_PREV() returns the previous item on the circular queue, or &head if this item is the first one.
The macro CIRCLEQ_LOOP_NEXT() returns the next item on the circular queue. If elm is the last element on the circular queue, the first element is returned.
The macro CIRCLEQ_LOOP_PREV() returns the previous item on the circular queue. If elm is the first element on the circular queue, the last element is returned.
The macro CIRCLEQ_REMOVE() removes the element elm from the circular queue.
RETURN VALUE
CIRCLEQ_EMPTY() returns nonzero if the queue is empty, and zero if the queue contains at least one entry.CIRCLEQ_FIRST(), CIRCLEQ_LAST(), CIRCLEQ_NEXT(), and CIRCLEQ_PREV() return a pointer to the first, last, next or previous TYPE structure, respectively.
CIRCLEQ_HEAD_INITIALIZER() returns an initializer that can be assigned to the queue head.
CONFORMING TO
Not in POSIX.1, POSIX.1-2001 or POSIX.1-2008. Present on the BSDs (CIRCLEQ macros first appeared in 4.4BSD).BUGS
The macros CIRCLEQ_FOREACH() and CIRCLEQ_FOREACH_REVERSE() don't allow var to be removed or freed within the loop, as it would interfere with the traversal. The macros CIRCLEQ_FOREACH_SAFE() and CIRCLEQ_FOREACH_REVERSE_SAFE(), which are present on the BSDs but are not present in glibc, fix this limitation by allowing var to safely be removed from the list and freed from within the loop without interfering with the traversal.EXAMPLES
