Tizen Native API  5.5

Eina_Clist is a compact (inline) list implementation.

Elements of this list are members of the structs stored in the list.

Advantages over Eina_List and Eina_Inlist :

  • Uses less memory (two machine words per item).
  • Allows removing items without knowing which list they're in while using O(1) time.
  • Doesn't need to keep updating the head pointer as the list is changed.

Disadvantages:

  • O(N) time to calculate the list length.
  • Requires one list entry in a struct per list (i.e. it's an inlist).
  • Requires a head/tail pointer.
  • Needs to know the list head when moving to the next or previous pointer.
Note:
There's no NULL at the end of the list, the last item points to the head.
List heads must be initialized with EINA_CLIST_INIT or by calling eina_clist_element_init.

Define a list as follows:

   struct gadget
   {
       struct Eina_Clist  entry;   <-- doesn't have to be the first item in the struct
       int                a, b;
   };

   static Eina_Clist global_gadgets = EINA_CLIST_INIT( global_gadgets );

or

   struct some_global_thing
   {
       Eina_Clist gadgets;
   };

   eina_clist_init( &some_global_thing->gadgets );

Manipulate it like this:

   eina_clist_add_head( &global_gadgets, &new_gadget->entry );
   eina_clist_remove( &new_gadget->entry );
   eina_clist_add_after( &some_random_gadget->entry, &new_gadget->entry );

And to iterate over it:

   struct gadget *gadget;
   EINA_CLIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY( gadget, &global_gadgets, struct gadget, entry )
   {
       ...
   }
