<h1>string-list API</h1>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="preamble">
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The string_list API offers a data structure and functions to handle
sorted and unsorted string lists.  A "sorted" list is one whose
entries are sorted by string value in <code>strcmp()</code> order.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>string_list</em> struct used to be called <em>path_list</em>, but was renamed
because it is not specific to paths.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The caller:</p></div>
<div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>
Allocates and clears a <code>struct string_list</code> variable.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Initializes the members. You might want to set the flag <code>strdup_strings</code>
  if the strings should be strdup()ed. For example, this is necessary
  when you add something like git_path("&#8230;"), since that function returns
  a static buffer that will change with the next call to git_path().
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If you need something advanced, you can manually malloc() the <code>items</code>
member (you need this if you add things later) and you should set the
<code>nr</code> and <code>alloc</code> members in that case, too.</p></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Adds new items to the list, using <code>string_list_append</code>,
  <code>string_list_append_nodup</code>, <code>string_list_insert</code>,
  <code>string_list_split</code>, and/or <code>string_list_split_in_place</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Can check if a string is in the list using <code>string_list_has_string</code> or
  <code>unsorted_string_list_has_string</code> and get it from the list using
  <code>string_list_lookup</code> for sorted lists.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Can sort an unsorted list using <code>sort_string_list</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Can remove duplicate items from a sorted list using
  <code>string_list_remove_duplicates</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Can remove individual items of an unsorted list using
  <code>unsorted_string_list_delete_item</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Can remove items not matching a criterion from a sorted or unsorted
  list using <code>filter_string_list</code>, or remove empty strings using
  <code>string_list_remove_empty_items</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Finally it should free the list using <code>string_list_clear</code>.
</p>
</li>
</ol></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Example:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>struct string_list list = STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP;
int i;

string_list_append(&amp;list, "foo");
string_list_append(&amp;list, "bar");
for (i = 0; i &lt; list.nr; i++)
        printf("%s\n", list.items[i].string)</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="admonitionblock">
<table><tr>
<td class="icon">
<div class="title">Note</div>
</td>
<td class="content">It is more efficient to build an unsorted list and sort it
afterwards, instead of building a sorted list (<code>O(n log n)</code> instead of
<code>O(n^2)</code>).</td>
</tr></table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>+
However, if you use the list to check if a certain string was added
already, you should not do that (using unsorted_string_list_has_string()),
because the complexity would be quadratic again (but with a worse factor).</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_functions">Functions</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">

</p>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>filter_string_list</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Apply a function to each item in a list, retaining only the
        items for which the function returns true.  If free_util is
        true, call free() on the util members of any items that have
        to be deleted.  Preserve the order of the items that are
        retained.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>string_list_remove_empty_items</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Remove any empty strings from the list.  If free_util is true,
        call free() on the util members of any items that have to be
        deleted.  Preserve the order of the items that are retained.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>print_string_list</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Dump a string_list to stdout, useful mainly for debugging purposes. It
        can take an optional header argument and it writes out the
        string-pointer pairs of the string_list, each one in its own line.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>string_list_clear</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Free a string_list. The <code>string</code> pointer of the items will be freed in
        case the <code>strdup_strings</code> member of the string_list is set. The second
        parameter controls if the <code>util</code> pointer of the items should be freed
        or not.

        Determine if the string_list has a given string or not.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>string_list_insert</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Insert a new element to the string_list. The returned pointer can be
        handy if you want to write something to the <code>util</code> pointer of the
        string_list_item containing the just added string. If the given
        string already exists the insertion will be skipped and the
        pointer to the existing item returned.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Since this function uses xrealloc() (which die()s if it fails) if the
list needs to grow, it is safe not to check the pointer. I.e. you may
write <code>string_list_insert(...)-&gt;util = ...;</code>.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>string_list_lookup</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Look up a given string in the string_list, returning the containing
        string_list_item. If the string is not found, NULL is returned.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>string_list_remove_duplicates</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Remove all but the first of consecutive entries that have the
        same string value.  If free_util is true, call free() on the
        util members of any items that have to be deleted.

Functions for unsorted lists only
</p>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>string_list_append</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Append a new string to the end of the string_list.  If
        <code>strdup_string</code> is set, then the string argument is copied;
        otherwise the new <code>string_list_entry</code> refers to the input
        string.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>string_list_append_nodup</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Append a new string to the end of the string_list.  The new
        <code>string_list_entry</code> always refers to the input string, even if
        <code>strdup_string</code> is set.  This function can be used to hand
        ownership of a malloc()ed string to a <code>string_list</code> that has
        <code>strdup_string</code> set.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>sort_string_list</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Sort the list&#8217;s entries by string value in <code>strcmp()</code> order.

</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>unsorted_string_list_lookup</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        It&#8217;s like <code>string_list_lookup()</code> but for unsorted lists.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The above two functions need to look through all items, as opposed to their
counterpart for sorted lists, which performs a binary search.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>unsorted_string_list_delete_item</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Remove an item from a string_list. The <code>string</code> pointer of the items
        will be freed in case the <code>strdup_strings</code> member of the string_list
        is set. The third parameter controls if the <code>util</code> pointer of the
        items should be freed or not.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>string_list_split</code>
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>string_list_split_in_place</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Split a string into substrings on a delimiter character and
        append the substrings to a <code>string_list</code>.  If <code>maxsplit</code> is
        non-negative, then split at most <code>maxsplit</code> times.  Return the
        number of substrings appended to the list.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p><code>string_list_split</code> requires a <code>string_list</code> that has <code>strdup_strings</code>
set to true; it leaves the input string untouched and makes copies of
the substrings in newly-allocated memory.
<code>string_list_split_in_place</code> requires a <code>string_list</code> that has
<code>strdup_strings</code> set to false; it splits the input string in place,
overwriting the delimiter characters with NULs and creating new
string_list_items that point into the original string (the original
string must therefore not be modified or freed while the <code>string_list</code>
is in use).</p></div>
