apr_skiplist_compare is the function type that must be implemented per object type that is used in a skip list for comparisons to maintain order

◆ apr_skiplist_freefunc

typedef void(* apr_skiplist_freefunc) (void *)

apr_skiplist_freefunc is the function type that must be implemented to handle elements as they are removed from a skip list.

◆ apr_skiplistnode

Opaque structure

Function Documentation

◆ apr_skiplist_add()

apr_skiplistnode* apr_skiplist_add ( apr_skiplist sl,
void *  data 
)

Add an element into the skip list using the existing comparison function allowing for duplicates.

Parameters
slThe skip list

Remarks
If no comparison function has been set for the skip list, the element will not be inserted and NULL will be returned.

◆ apr_skiplist_add_compare()

apr_skiplistnode* apr_skiplist_add_compare ( apr_skiplist sl,
void *  data,
apr_skiplist_compare  comp 
)

Add an element into the skip list using the specified comparison function allowing for duplicates.

Parameters
slThe skip list
dataThe element to add
compThe comparison function to use for placement into the skip list

◆ apr_skiplist_add_index()

void apr_skiplist_add_index ( apr_skiplist sl,
apr_skiplist_compare  XXX1,
apr_skiplist_compare  XXX2 
)

Set the indexing functions to the specified comparison functions and rebuild the index.

Parameters
slThe skip list

size_t  size 
)

Allocate memory using the same mechanism as the skip list.

Parameters
slThe skip list
sizeThe amount to allocate

void apr_skiplist_destroy ( apr_skiplist sl,
apr_skiplist_freefunc  myfree 
)

Remove each element from the skip list.

Parameters
slThe skip list

void *  mem 
)

Free memory using the same mechanism as the skip list.

Parameters
slThe skip list
memThe object to free
Remarks
If a pool was provided to apr_skiplist_init(), memory will be added to a free list maintained with the skip list and be available to operations on the skip list or to other calls to apr_skiplist_alloc(). Otherwise, memory will be freed using the C standard library heap functions.

slThe skip list
XXX1FIXME
XXX2FIXME
Remarks

◆ apr_skiplist_set_preheight()

void apr_skiplist_set_preheight ( apr_skiplist sl,
int  to 
)

Set a predefined maximum height for the skip list.

Parameters
slThe skip list
toThe preheight to set, or a nul/negative value to disable.
Remarks
When a preheight is used, the height of each inserted element is computed randomly up to this preheight instead of the current skip list's height plus one used by the default implementation. Using a preheight can probably ensure more fairness with long living elements (since with an adaptative height, former elements may have been created with a low height, hence a longest path to reach them while the skip list grows). On the other hand, the default behaviour (preheight <= 0) with a growing and decreasing maximum height is more adaptative/suitable for short living values.
Note
Should be called before any insertion/add.

◆ apr_skiplist_size()

size_t apr_skiplist_size ( const apr_skiplist sl)

Return the size of the list (number of elements), in O(1).

Parameters
slThe skip list
