NAME¶
chain - mbk lisp-like service structure
DESCRIPTION¶
The
chain is used for any purpose, when a list of pointer is required.
The use of this structure is strongly recommanded, when such a need occurs.
The declarations needed to work on
chain are available in the header file
"/labo/include/mut315.h", where '
315' is the actual
mbk version.
The following C structure supports the description of the chain :
typedef struct chain {
struct chain ∗NEXT;
void ∗DATA;
} chain_list;
- NEXT
- Pointer to the next chain of the list.
- DATA
- Generic pointer used to point to any kind of object. Do not
forget to cast the pointer back to its previous type when using this
field.
- Remark :
- a specialized memory allocator has been built in order to
create and free chain_lists, so absolutly avoid to create or free
them an other way than through the access functions.
