CX_COLLECTION_BASE

#define CX_COLLECTION_BASE   struct cx_collection_s collection

Use this macro to declare common members for a collection structure.

Example Use

struct MyCustomSet {
    CX_COLLECTION_BASE;
    MySetElements *data;
}

cx_invoke_advanced_destructor

#define cx_invoke_advanced_destructor	(		c,
			e )

Value:

    (c)->collection.advanced_destructor((c)->collection.destructor_data, \
    (c)->collection.store_pointer ? (*((void **) (e))) : (e))

Invokes the advanced destructor function for a specific element.

Usually only used by collection implementations. There should be no need to invoke this macro manually.

When the collection stores pointers, those pointers are directly passed to the destructor. Otherwise, a pointer to the element is passed.

Parameters

c	a pointer to a struct that contains CX_COLLECTION_BASE
e	the element (the type is void* or void** depending on context)

cx_invoke_destructor

#define cx_invoke_destructor	(		c,
			e )

Value:

    if ((c)->collection.simple_destructor) cx_invoke_simple_destructor(c,e); \
    if ((c)->collection.advanced_destructor) cx_invoke_advanced_destructor(c,e)

Invokes all available destructor functions for a specific element.

Usually only used by collection implementations. There should be no need to invoke this macro manually.

When the collection stores pointers, those pointers are directly passed to the destructor. Otherwise, a pointer to the element is passed.

Parameters

c	a pointer to a struct that contains CX_COLLECTION_BASE
e	the element (the type is void* or void** depending on context)

cx_invoke_simple_destructor

#define cx_invoke_simple_destructor	(		c,
			e )    (c)->collection.simple_destructor((c)->collection.store_pointer ? (*((void **) (e))) : (e))

Invokes the simple destructor function for a specific element.

Usually only used by collection implementations. There should be no need to invoke this macro manually.

When the collection stores pointers, those pointers are directly passed to the destructor. Otherwise, a pointer to the element is passed.

Parameters

c	a pointer to a struct that contains CX_COLLECTION_BASE
e	the element (the type is void* or void** depending on context)

cxCollectionElementSize

#define cxCollectionElementSize

(

c

)

((c)->collection.elem_size)

Returns the size of one element.

If cxCollectionStoresPointers() returns true, this is the size of a pointer.

Parameters

c	a pointer to a struct that contains CX_COLLECTION_BASE

Returns

(size_t) the size of one element in bytes

cxCollectionSize

#define cxCollectionSize

(

c

)

((c)->collection.size)

Returns the number of elements currently stored.

Parameters

c	a pointer to a struct that contains CX_COLLECTION_BASE

Returns

(size_t) the number of currently stored elements

cxCollectionSorted

#define cxCollectionSorted

(

c

)

((c)->collection.sorted)

Indicates whether the collection can guarantee that the stored elements are currently sorted.

This may return false even when the elements are sorted. It is totally up to the implementation of the collection whether it keeps track of the order of its elements.

Parameters

c	a pointer to a struct that contains CX_COLLECTION_BASE

Return values

true	if the elements are currently sorted wrt. the collection's compare function
false	if the order of elements is unknown

cxCollectionStoresPointers

#define cxCollectionStoresPointers

(

c

)

((c)->collection.store_pointer)

Indicates whether this collection only stores pointers instead of the actual data.

Parameters

c	a pointer to a struct that contains CX_COLLECTION_BASE

Return values

true	if this collection stores only pointers to data
false	if this collection stores the actual element's data

cxDefineAdvancedDestructor

#define cxDefineAdvancedDestructor	(		c,
			destr,
			data )

Value:

    (c)->collection.advanced_destructor = (cx_destructor_func2) destr; \
    (c)->collection.destructor_data = data

Sets a simple destructor function for this collection.

Parameters

c	a pointer to a struct that contains CX_COLLECTION_BASE
destr	the destructor function

cxDefineDestructor

#define cxDefineDestructor	(		c,
			destr )    (c)->collection.simple_destructor = (cx_destructor_func) destr

Sets a simple destructor function for this collection.

Parameters

c	a pointer to a struct that contains CX_COLLECTION_BASE
destr	the destructor function
