   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 */

  65 * string, and you may use the `util` member for any purpose, if you want.

  79 * . The `alloc` member is used to avoid reallocating at every insertion.
  80 *   You should not tamper with it.
  81 * . Setting the `strdup_strings` member to 1 will strdup() the strings
  82 *   before adding them, see above.
  83 * . The `compare_strings_fn` member is used to specify a custom compare
  84 *   function, otherwise `strcmp()` is used as the default function.
