#ifndef STRING_LIST_H #define STRING_LIST_H /** * The string_list API offers a data structure and functions to handle * sorted and unsorted arrays of strings. A "sorted" list is one whose * entries are sorted by string value in `strcmp()` order. * * The caller: * * . Allocates and clears a `struct string_list` variable. * * . Initializes the members. You might want to set the flag `strdup_strings` * if the strings should be strdup()ed. For example, this is necessary * when you add something like git_path("..."), since that function returns * a static buffer that will change with the next call to git_path(). * * If you need something advanced, you can manually malloc() the `items` * member (you need this if you add things later) and you should set the * `nr` and `alloc` members in that case, too. * * . Adds new items to the list, using `string_list_append`, * `string_list_append_nodup`, `string_list_insert`, * `string_list_split`, and/or `string_list_split_in_place`. * * . Can check if a string is in the list using `string_list_has_string` or * `unsorted_string_list_has_string` and get it from the list using * `string_list_lookup` for sorted lists. * * . Can sort an unsorted list using `string_list_sort`. * * . Can remove duplicate items from a sorted list using * `string_list_remove_duplicates`. * * . Can remove individual items of an unsorted list using * `unsorted_string_list_delete_item`. * * . Can remove items not matching a criterion from a sorted or unsorted * list using `filter_string_list`, or remove empty strings using * `string_list_remove_empty_items`. * * . Finally it should free the list using `string_list_clear`. * * Example: * * struct string_list list = STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP; * int i; * * string_list_append(&list, "foo"); * string_list_append(&list, "bar"); * for (i = 0; i < list.nr; i++) * printf("%s\n", list.items[i].string) * * NOTE: It is more efficient to build an unsorted list and sort it * afterwards, instead of building a sorted list (`O(n log n)` instead of * `O(n^2)`). * * 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). */ /** * Represents an item of the list.
