# Container [clist](../stc/clist.h): Singly Linked List

This is similar to c++ *std::forward_list*, but can do both *push_front()* and *push_back()* as well as *pop_front()*.
Implemented as a circular singly linked list. Also supports various *splice* functions and *merge sort*.

## Declaration

```c
#define using_clist(X, Value, valueDestroy=c_default_del,
                              valueCompareRaw=c_default_compare,
                              RawValue=Value,
                              valueToRaw=c_default_to_raw,
                              valueFromRaw=c_default_from_raw)
#define using_clist_str()
```
The macro `using_clist()` can be instantiated with 2, 3, 4, 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_del, cstr_compare_raw, const char*, cstr_to_raw, cstr_from)
```

## 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_input_t`     | `clist_X_value_t`                   | clist input 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 |

## 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
```
