Inline Array

Inline array is a container that stores the data itself, not the pointers to the data.

Since (EFL) :
1.2

This means there is no memory fragmentation, also for small data types(such as char, short, int, and so on) it's more memory efficient.

Usage of the inline array is very similar to that of other Containers, like all arrays adding elements to the beginning of the array is a lot more costly than appending, so those operations should be minimized.

Typedefs

typedef struct _Eina_Inarray Eina_Inarray
 Type for the inlined array.

Defines

#define EINA_INARRAY_FOREACH(array, itr)
 Walks through an array linearly from head to tail.
#define EINA_INARRAY_REVERSE_FOREACH(array, itr)
 Walks through an array linearly from tail to head.

Define Documentation

#define EINA_INARRAY_FOREACH (   array,
  itr 
)
Value:
for ((itr) = (array)->members;                  \
       (itr) < (((__typeof__(*itr)*)(array)->members) + (array)->len);  \
       (itr)++)

Walks through an array linearly from head to tail.

Parameters:
[in]arrayThe array object
[in]itrAn iterator pointer
Note:
itr must be a pointer with sizeof(itr*) == array->member_size.
This is fast as it does direct pointer access, but it does not check for NULL pointers or invalid array objects. Use eina_inarray_foreach() to do that.
Do not modify an array as you walk through it. If that is desired, then use eina_inarray_foreach_remove().

)
Value:
for ((itr) = ((((__typeof__(*(itr))*)(array)->members) + (array)->len) - 1); \
       (((itr) >= (__typeof__(*(itr))*)(array)->members)        \
    && ((array)->members != NULL));                 \
       (itr)--)

Walks through an array linearly from tail to head.

Parameters:
[in]arrayThe array object
[in]itrAn iterator pointer

Function Documentation

Returns a new accessor associated to an array.

This function returns a newly allocated accessor associated to array.

Parameters:
[in]arrayThe array object
Returns:
A new accessor
Note:
If the memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned Otherwise, a valid accessor is returned.

void* eina_inarray_alloc_at ( Eina_Inarray array,
unsigned int  position,
unsigned int  member_count 
)

Opens a space at the given position, returning its pointer.

Parameters:
[in]arrayThe array object
[in]positionThe position to insert first member at (open/allocate space)
[in]member_countThe number of times member_size bytes are allocated
Returns:
A pointer to the first member memory allocated, otherwise NULL on errors
Note:
This is similar to eina_inarray_insert_at(), but useful if the members contents are still unknown or unallocated. It makes room for the required number of items and returns the pointer to the first item, similar to malloc(member_count * member_size), with the guarantee that all the memory is within the members array.
The new member memory is undefined, it's not automatically zeroed.
All the members from position to the end of the array are shifted to the end.
If position is equal to the end of the array (equal to eina_inarray_count()), then the member is appended.
If position is bigger than the array length, it fails.

int int Eina_Bool eina_inarray_foreach ( const Eina_Inarray array,
Eina_Each_Cb  function,
const void *  user_data 
)

Calls function for each array member.

This calls function for every given data in array.

Parameters:
[in]arrayThe array object
[in]functionThe callback function
[in]user_dataThe user data given to a callback function
Returns:
EINA_TRUE if it successfully iterates all the items of the array

This is a safe way to iterate over an array. function should return EINA_TRUE as long as you want the function to continue iterating, by returning EINA_FALSE it stops and returns EINA_FALSE as the result.
The data given to function is a pointer to the member memory itself.

int int eina_inarray_insert_sorted ( Eina_Inarray array,
const void *  data,
Eina_Compare_Cb  compare

Copies the data to the array at a position found by the comparison function.

This copies the given pointer contents at the array position defined by the given compare function. The pointer is not referenced, instead its contents are copied to the members array using the previously defined member_size.

Parameters:
[in]arrayThe array object
[in]dataThe data to be copied
[in]compareThe compare function
Returns:
The index of the new member, otherwise -1 on errors

Parameters:
[in]arrayThe array object
Returns:
A new iterator
Note:
If the memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned. Otherwise, a valid iterator is returned.

Note:
Unlike eina_inarray_iterator_new(), this walks through the array backwards.
If the memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned. Otherwise, a valid iterator is returned.
Warning:
If the array structure changes then the iterator becomes invalid. That is, if you add or remove nodes this iterator's behavior is undefined and your program may crash.
