#ifndef NIH_LIST_H
#define NIH_LIST_H

/**
 * Provides a generic circular doubly-linked list implementation.  Like
 * all doubly-linked lists, each entry carries both a pointer to the
 * previous entry in the list and a pointer to the next entry in the list.
 * However this is also circular, so instead of the first entry's previous
 * pointer and last entry's next pointers containing NULL, they instead
 * point to the last entry and first entry respectively.
 *
 * A single NihList structure is generally used as the list head, so
 * for an empty list, that structure's previous and next pointers point
 * to itself.
 *
 * This has the advantage over other implementations of a constant time
 * operation to append or prepend an entry to the list, insert before or
 * after a known entry, and remove an entry from the list.
 *
 * List entries may be created in one of two ways.  The most common is to
 * embed the NihList structure as the frist member of your own structure,
 * and initialise it with nih_list_init() after allocating the structure.
 * Alternatively you may create NihListEntry structures with
 * nih_list_entry_new() and point at your own data from them.
 *
 * The list head itself may be created with nih_list_new().
 *
 * Entries are added to the list with nih_list_add(), passing an existing
 * entry which is most commonly the list head.  This adds the entry "before"
 * the given entry, in the list head case this appends the entry to the list.
 * To add "after" the given entry (prepending in the list head case) use
 * nih_list_add_before().
 *
 * To remove an entry from the list use nih_list_remove().  The entry
 * effectively becomes the list head of an empty list.
 *
 * Entries may be moved between lists, or rearranged within a list, by
 * simply calling nih_list_add() - there's no need to call nih_list_remove()
 * first.
 *
 * List iteration may be performed by following the prev or next pointers
 * in a for loop.  Since this is an extremely common operation, the
 * NIH_LIST_FOREACH() macro is provided that expands to this for loop.
 *
 * Since this macro only holds a pointer to the entry being iterated, most
 * operations that change a list are not safe.  To change a list safely
 * while iterating, including being able to free the visited node, use
 * the NIH_LIST_FOREACH_SAFE() macro.  However note that since this macro
 * changes the list as it iterates it itself, it is not safe to traverse
 * or iterate the list and make assumptions about the type of node being
 * seen.

 * various modifications to the list; most importantly, you must not change
 * the member being iterated in any way, including removing it from the list
 * or freeing it.  If you need to do that, use NIH_LIST_FOREACH_SAFE() instead.

 *
 * The iteration is performed safely by placing a cursor node after @iter;
 * this means that any node including @iter can be removed from the list,
 * added to a different list, or entries added before or after it.
 *
 * Note that if you add an entry directly after @iter and wish it to be
 * visited, you would need to use NIH_LIST_FOREACH() instead, as this
 * would be placed before the cursor and thus skipped.
 *
 * Also since the list has an extra node during iteration of a different
 * type, it is expressly not safe to traverse or iterate the list while
 * iterating.  If you need to perform multiple iterations, or reference
 * the next or previous pointers of a node, you must use NIH_LIST_FOREACH().
