Red-Black Tree
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Macros
|
||||
~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
`RBTREE_INIT`::
|
||||
Initialize a `rbtree` structure. +
|
||||
should only be used with the declaration like:
|
||||
+
|
||||
----
|
||||
rbtree tree = RBTREE_INIT(...);
|
||||
----
|
||||
+
|
||||
the arguments are pointers to callback functions, in order: `delete_fn`, `update_fn`, `cmp_fn`
|
||||
|
||||
Data structures
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* `rbtree`
|
||||
+
|
||||
--
|
||||
Structure that holds a tree of nodes
|
||||
|
||||
`root`::
|
||||
Pointer to the node that is the root of the tree.
|
||||
|
||||
`delete_fn`::
|
||||
Pointer to the function that should handle the delete routines for the `key` pointer.
|
||||
|
||||
`update_fn`::
|
||||
Pointer to the function that is called when the implementation performs an update of an `key` pointer. +
|
||||
The function gets the following information passed in order: old pointer, new pointer.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: You may only need this if you store the data in another structure and has to keep it synchronized with the RB-tree.
|
||||
|
||||
`cmp_fn`::
|
||||
Pointer to the function that is used to compare two `key` pointers. +
|
||||
Shall return a value greater than zero if 'ptr1' > 'ptr2', a value less than zero if 'ptr1' < 'ptr2' and zero if 'ptr1' == 'ptr2'.

Functions
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
`rbtree_insert()`::
|
||||
|
||||
Creates and inserts a new node in the tree. +
|
||||
If provided, calls `rbtree->update_fn` and `rbtree->delete_fn` if a node should be updated. +
|
||||
Returns nonzero if a new node was inserted or updated, zero otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: The memory pointed to by the 'key' pointer is *not* copied so you must ensure that it has a infinite lifetime.
|
||||
|
||||
`rbtree_delete()`::
|
||||
|
||||
Deletes a node from the tree. if provided, calls `rbtree->delete_fn` for the node. +
|
||||
Returns nonzero if a node was removed, zero otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
`rbtree_free()`::
|
||||
|
||||
Deletes the whole tree. if provided, calls `rbtree->delete_fn` for every node.
|
||||
|
||||
`rbtree_walk()`::
|
||||
|
||||
Walks the tree in-order and passes a pointer to `key`
|
||||
for the given node to the 'action' callback function.
|
||||
|
||||
`rbtree_search()`::
|
||||
|
||||
Searches the tree for 'key'. +
|
||||
Returns a pointer to the node if found else `NULL`.
|
||||
|
||||
`rbtree_is_empty()`::
|
||||
|
||||
Checks if a tree is empty, retruns zero if the tree is empty, nonzero otherwise.
