# STC Container [clist](../stc/clist.h): Forward List

The **clist** container supports fast insertion and removal of elements from anywhere in the container. It is similar to the c++ [std::forward_list](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/forward_list), but **clist** also supports *push_back()* (**O**(1) time). It is implemented as a circular singly-linked list. Fast random access is not supported.
Adding, removing and moving the elements within the list, or across several lists, does not invalidate the iterators currently referring to other elements in the list. However, an iterator or reference referring to an element is invalidated when the corresponding element is removed (via *erase_after*) from the list.
**clist** also supports various *splice* functions and *merge-sort*. **clist** itself occupies only one pointer in memory, like *std::forward_list*, the length of **clist** is not stored. The method *clist_X_size()* is available, however computed in **O**(*n*) time.
## Declaration
```c
#define using_clist(X, Value, valueCompareRaw=c_default_compare,
valueDestroy=c_default_del,
valueFromRaw=c_default_clone,
valueToRaw=c_default_to_raw,
RawValue=Value)
#define using_clist_str()
```
The macro `using_clist()` can be instantiated with 2, 3, 5, or 7 arguments in the global scope.
Default values are given above for args not specified. `X` is a type tag name and
will affect the names of all clist types and methods. E.g. declaring `using_clist(my, int);`, `X` should
be replaced by `my` in all of the following documentation. `using_clist_str()` is a shorthand for
```c
using_clist(str, cstr_t, cstr_compare_raw, cstr_del, cstr_from, cstr_to_raw, const char*)
```
## Types
| Type name | Type definition | Used to represent... |
|:----------------------|:------------------------------------|:--------------------------|
| `clist_X` | `struct { clist_X_node_t* last; }` | The clist type |
| `clist_X_value_t` | `Value` | The clist element type |
| `clist_X_rawvalue_t` | `RawValue` | clist raw value type |
| `clist_X_iter_t` | `struct { clist_value_t *ref; ... }`| clist iterator |
## Constants and macros
| Name | Purpose |
|:---------------------------|:---------------------|
| `clist_inits` | Initializer constant |
## Header file
All clist definitions and prototypes may be included in your C source file by including a single header file.
```c
#include "stc/clist.h"
```
## Methods
```c
clist_X clist_X_init(void);
clist_X clist_X_clone(clist_X list);
void clist_X_clear(clist_X* self);
void clist_X_del(clist_X* self);
bool clist_X_empty(clist_X list);
size_t clist_X_size(clist_X list); // note: O(n)
clist_X_value_t* clist_X_front(clist_X* self);
clist_X_value_t* clist_X_back(clist_X* self);
void clist_X_emplace_front(clist_X* self, RawValue raw);
void clist_X_push_front(clist_X* self, Value value);
void clist_X_pop_front(clist_X* self);
// non-std: push back, complexity O(1)
void clist_X_push_n(clist_X *self, const clist_X_rawvalue_t arr[], size_t size);
void clist_X_emplace_back(clist_X* self, RawValue ref);
void clist_X_push_back(clist_X* self, Value value);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_emplace_after(clist_X* self, clist_X_iter_t it, RawValue raw);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_insert_after(clist_X* self, clist_X_iter_t it, Value raw);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_erase_after(clist_X* self, clist_X_iter_t it);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_erase_range_after(clist_X* self, clist_X_iter_t it1, clist_X_iter_t it2);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_splice_after(clist_X* self, clist_X_iter_t it, clist_X* other);
// non-std:
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_splice_front(clist_X* self, clist_X* other);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_splice_back(clist_X* self, clist_X* other);
// non-std: note: returns range (it1, it2] - excluding it1, including it2:
clist_X clist_X_splice_out(clist_X* self, clist_X_iter_t it1, clist_X_iter_t it2);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_find(const clist_X* self, RawValue raw);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_find_before(const clist_X* self,
clist_X_iter_t it1, clist_X_iter_t it2, RawValue raw);
// std: removes all elements equal to raw
size_t clist_X_remove(clist_X* self, RawValue raw);
void clist_X_sort(clist_X* self);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_before_begin(const clist_X* self);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_last(const clist_X* self);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_begin(const clist_X* self);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_end(const clist_X* self);
void clist_X_next(clist_X_iter_t* it);
clist_X_value_t* clist_X_itval(clist_X_iter_t it);
clist_X_iter_t clist_X_fwd(clist_X_iter it, size_t n);
clist_X_value_t clist_X_value_clone(clist_X_value_t val);
```
The `clist_X_splice_out(self, it1, it2)` can be combined with `clist_X_splice_after(self, it, other)` to mimic c++ `std::forward_list::splice_after(it, other, it1, it2)`. Note however that *it2* is included in elements to be spliced, unlike with *std::forward_list()*. Example: splice in `[2, 3]` from *L1* after `10` in *L2*:
```c
c_init (clist_i, L1, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5});
c_init (clist_i, L2, {10, 20, 30, 40, 50});
clist_i_iter_t it = clist_i_fwd(clist_i_begin(&L1), 2);
clist_i tmp = clist_i_splice_out(&L1, clist_i_begin(&L1), it);
clist_i_splice_after(&L2, clist_i_begin(&L2), &tmp);
// C++:
// auto it = L1.begin(); std::advance(it, 3);
// L2.splice_after(L2.cbegin(), L1, L1.cbegin(), it);
// L1: 1 4 5
// L2: 10 2 3 20 30 40 50
```
## Example
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include "stc/clist.h"
using_clist(d, double);
int main() {
clist_d list = clist_inits;
c_push_items(&list, clist_d, {
10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0, 60.0, 70.0, 80.0, 90.0
});
// Interleave push_front / push_back:
c_forrange (i, int, 1, 10) {
if (i & 1) clist_d_push_front(&list, (float) i);
else clist_d_push_back(&list, (float) i);
}
printf("initial: ");
c_foreach (i, clist_d, list)
printf(" %g", *i.ref);
clist_d_sort(&list); // mergesort O(n*log n)
printf("\nsorted: ");
c_foreach (i, clist_d, list)
printf(" %g", *i.ref);
clist_d_del(&list);
}
```
Output:
```
initial: 9 7 5 3 1 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 2 4 6 8
sorted: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
```
### Example 2
```c
// erasing from clist
#include <stc/clist.h>
#include <stdio.h>
using_clist(i, int);
int main ()
{
c_init (clist_i, L, {10, 20, 30, 40, 50});
// 10 20 30 40 50
clist_i_iter_t it = clist_i_begin(&L); // ^
it = clist_i_erase_after(&L, it); // 10 30 40 50
// ^
clist_i_iter_t end = clist_i_end(&L); //
it = clist_i_erase_range_after(&L, it, end); // 10 30
// ^
printf("mylist contains:");
c_foreach (x, clist_i, L) printf(" %d", *x.ref);
puts("");
clist_i_del(&L);
}
```
Output:
```
mylist contains: 10 30
```
