Included are array list (vector) and linked list templates.

Types defined:

• NAME - the list, used as a pointer; public fields:
• NAME_iterator - a list iterator, used as a value

Functions defined:

• NAME *NAME_new(void) - allocate a new list
• void NAME_free(NAME *list) - free the list
• int NAME_size(const NAME *list) - the number of list elements
• int NAME_insert(NAME *list, TYPE value, int pos) - inserts an item to position pos, returns 0 on failure
• TYPE NAME_pop(NAME *list, int pos) - removes the item at position pos from list and returns it
• TYPE NAME_get(const NAME *list, int pos) - retrieves the item at position pos
• void NAME_set(NAME *list, TYPE value, int pos) - sets the item on position pos to value
• NAME_iterator NAME_iterate(const NAME *list) - creates a new list iterator, NAME_next must be called before accessing the value at its position
• int NAME_next(const NAME *list, NAME_iterator *iter) - moves iter to the next position, returns 0 if there are no more elements
• TYPE NAME_get_at(const NAME *list, NAME_iterator iter) - returns the value at the current position of iter
• void NAME_set_at(NAME *list, TYPE value, NAME_iterator iter) - sets the item at the current position of iter to value
• int NAME_insert_at(NAME *list, TYPE value, NAME_iterator iter) - inserts value to list at the position of iter (cannot be used to append to the tail of the list)
• TYPE NAME_pop_at(NAME *list, NAME_iterator iter) - removes the item at the position of the iterator

All int pos parameters have a special value -1, which is equivalent to NAME_size(list) in insert and NAME_size(list)-1 in pop/get/set and insert/pop/get/set on that position are O(1) in both linked and array lists.

To iterate a list, do something like NAME_iterator i; for (i=NAME_iterate(list); NAME_next(list, &i);) { do_something(NAME_get_at(list, i)); }

See list-example.c for list examples and more documentation.

alist.h implements an array list (vector), which is basically an array that is reallocated to 1.5 times its length once more space is required.

Macros:

• ALIST_PROTO(TYPE, NAME) - macro for header entries for alist containing elements of type TYPE, named NAME
• ALIST(TYPE, NAME) - macro for functions for alist

Types defined (fields not exported):

• NAME - a struct representing the arraylist; fields:
  • int len - number of list elements, decrement (but not below 0) to pop elements from the end of the list
  • int cap - the length of the underlying array, do not change its value
  • TYPE *arr - the array of TYPE elements of length cap, of which the first len elements are defined
• NAME_iterator - a typedef of int representing an index in the array; inserting or popping an element prior to or at the position of the iterator invalidates it

Additional functions defined:

• NAME *NAME_new_cap(int cap) - allocates a new alist with initial capacity cap (NAME_new uses 8, cap < 2 is undefined); NAME_insert will multiply the capacity by 1.5 each time it needs more space
• int NAME_resize(NAME *list, int size) - reallocs the list's capacity to size, truncates elements if size < NAME_size(list)

The _at functions are no faster than the versions used with an index; get and set are O(1), insert and pop are O(n) except on the tail, where they are O(1).

To manually iterate an alist, export its struct and do int i; for (i=0; i<list->len; ++i) { do_something(list->arr[i]); }

llist.h implements a singly-linked list.

Macros:

• LLIST_PROTO(TYPE, NAME) - macro for header entries for llist containing TYPE elements, named NAME
• LLIST(TYPE, NAME) - macro for functions for llist

Types defined (fields not exported):

• NAME - a struct representing the linked list; fields:
  • int len - number of elements in the list, has no effect on list functions
  • NAME_pair *first - the first element in the list
  • NAME_pair *last - the last element in the list
• NAME_pair - a list element; fields:
  • TYPE car - the value
  • NAME_pair *cdr - the next element in the list
• NAME_iterator - a struct used to traverse the list; inserting between the previous and current position of the iterator or popping the element iterator points to or the one before it invalidates it (technically, only _insert_at and _pop_at functions should not be used after the insert or pop of the previous element; _get_at, _set_at and _next are still usable); fields:
  • NAME_pair *prev - the previous element in the list, used in _insert_at and _pop_at
  • NAME_pair *curr - the element the iterator points to

Additional functions defined:

• NAME_pair *NAME_pair_new(TYPE value) - allocates a new list element with the value value

List inserts, pops, gets and sets on head and tail are O(1), O(n) elsewhere. _at functions are all O(1).

To manually iterate a llist, export its struct and do NAME_pair *p; for (p=list->first; p; p=p->cdr) { do_something(p->car); }

Included is a hashmap template.

Macros:

• HMAP_PROTO(KEY_TYPE, VALUE_TYPE, NAME) - macro for header entries for a hashmap mapping KEY_TYPE to VALUE_TYPE, named NAME
• HMAP(KEY_TYPE, VALUE_TYPE, NAME, CMP_FUNC, HASH_FUNC) - macro for hmap functions; int CMP_FUNC(KEY_TYPE a, KEY_TYPE b) is used to compare keys (return a value <0 if a<b, 0 when a==b and >0 when a>b) and uint32_t HASH_FUNC(KEY_TYPE key) to generate hashes

Types defined (fields not exported):

• NAME - the hashmap; fields:
  • int len - the number of map entries
  • int cap - the number of buckets
  • NAME_entry *buckets - the hashmap buckets
  • double max_load - the load (len/cap) before growing to double size, default 2.0; negative to disable automatic growth at insert
  • double min_load - the load (len/cap) before resizing to half size, default 0.5; negative to disable automatic shrinking at delete
• NAME_bucket - a bucket with entries for hash collisions; fields:
  • int len - the number of entries in the bucket
  • int cap - the length of the entries array
  • NAME_entry *entries - an array with entries
• NAME_entry - a struct representing a map entry; fields:
  • uint32_t hash - the hash of the key
  • KEY_TYPE key - the key
  • VALUE_TYPE value - the value
• NAME_iterator - a struct used for traversing the map, invalidated with any delete or a set when no such key exists; fields:
  • int bucket - the index of the current bucket
  • int entry - the index of the entry in the current bucket

Functions defined:

• NAME *NAME_new(void) - calls NAME_new_cap(16)
• NAME *NAME_new_cap(int cap) - allocates a new hmap with cap buckets.
• void NAME_free(NAME *map) - frees the map
• int NAME_size(const NAME *map) - the number of entries currently in the map
• int NAME_resize(NAME *map, int cap) - resizes the map to cap; returns 1 on success and 0 on malloc failure
• VALUE_TYPE NAME_get(const NAME *map, KEY_TYPE key) - retrieves the item with key key; return value is the zeroed VALUE_TYPE when no such key exists in the map
• int NAME_contains(const NAME *map, KEY_TYPE key) - returns 1 if key exists in the map, 0 otherwise
• VALUE_TYPE NAME_get_default(const NAME *map, KEY_TYPE key, VALUE_TYPE def) - retrieves the entry with key key; returns the value of that entry if it exists and def if it doesn't
• int NAME_get_contains(const NAME *map, KEY_TYPE key, VALUE_TYPE *value) - sets *value to the value associated with key (if value != NULL) and returns 1 if key exists in the map, otherwise it doesn't touch the value value points to and returns 0
• int NAME_set(NAME *map, KEY_TYPE key, VALUE_TYPE value) - sets the map entry with key key to value overwriting an existing entry with such key if it exists; returns 0 on malloc failure, 1 otherwise
• int NAME_delete(NAME *map, KEY_TYPE key) - removes the value associated with key from the map if it exists, otherwise does nothing; returns 1 if an entry was deleted, 0 otherwise
• NAME_iterator NAME_iterate(NAME *map) - creates a new map iterator, NAME_next must be called before accessing the key or value at its position
• int NAME_next(const NAME *map, NAME_iterator *iter) - moves iter to the next position, returns 0 if there are no more entries
• KEY_TYPE NAME_key_at(const NAME *map, NAME_iterator iter) - returns the key at the current position of the iterator
• VALUE_TYPE NAME_value_at(const NAME *map, NAME_iterator iter) - returns the value at the current position of the iterator

The hashmap is automatically resized to twice its current capacity once its load reaches 2.0 and to half its size when the load falls under 0.5.

See map-example.c for map examples and more documentation.

All code compiles with GCC with the following CFLAGS: -Wall -Werror -ansi -pedantic -pedantic-errors
