1#ifndef STRING_LIST_H 2#define STRING_LIST_H 3 4/** 5 * The string_list API offers a data structure and functions to handle 6 * sorted and unsorted arrays of strings. A "sorted" list is one whose 7 * entries are sorted by string value in `strcmp()` order. 8 * 9 * The caller: 10 * 11 * . Allocates and clears a `struct string_list` variable. 12 * 13 * . Initializes the members. You might want to set the flag `strdup_strings` 14 * if the strings should be strdup()ed. For example, this is necessary 15 * when you add something like git_path("..."), since that function returns 16 * a static buffer that will change with the next call to git_path(). 17 * 18 * If you need something advanced, you can manually malloc() the `items` 19 * member (you need this if you add things later) and you should set the 20 * `nr` and `alloc` members in that case, too. 21 * 22 * . Adds new items to the list, using `string_list_append`, 23 * `string_list_append_nodup`, `string_list_insert`, 24 * `string_list_split`, and/or `string_list_split_in_place`. 25 * 26 * . Can check if a string is in the list using `string_list_has_string` or 27 * `unsorted_string_list_has_string` and get it from the list using 28 * `string_list_lookup` for sorted lists. 29 * 30 * . Can sort an unsorted list using `string_list_sort`. 31 * 32 * . Can remove duplicate items from a sorted list using 33 * `string_list_remove_duplicates`. 34 * 35 * . Can remove individual items of an unsorted list using 36 * `unsorted_string_list_delete_item`. 37 * 38 * . Can remove items not matching a criterion from a sorted or unsorted 39 * list using `filter_string_list`, or remove empty strings using 40 * `string_list_remove_empty_items`. 41 * 42 * . Finally it should free the list using `string_list_clear`. 43 * 44 * Example: 45 * 46 * struct string_list list = STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP; 47 * int i; 48 * 49 * string_list_append(&list, "foo"); 50 * string_list_append(&list, "bar"); 51 * for (i = 0; i < list.nr; i++) 52 * printf("%s\n", list.items[i].string) 53 * 54 * NOTE: It is more efficient to build an unsorted list and sort it 55 * afterwards, instead of building a sorted list (`O(n log n)` instead of 56 * `O(n^2)`). 57 * 58 * However, if you use the list to check if a certain string was added 59 * already, you should not do that (using unsorted_string_list_has_string()), 60 * because the complexity would be quadratic again (but with a worse factor). 61 */ 62 63/** 64 * Represents an item of the list.
