Description

The class template slist is an intrusive container, that encapsulates a singly-linked list. You can use such a list to squeeze the last bit of performance from your application. Unfortunately, the little gains come with some huge drawbacks. A lot of member functions can't be implemented as efficiently as for standard containers. To overcome this limitation some other member functions with rather unusual semantics have to be introduced.

The template parameter T is the type to be managed by the container. The user can specify additional options and if no options are provided default options are used.

The container supports the following options: base_hook<>/member_hook<>/value_traits<>, constant_time_size<>, size_type<>, linear<> and cache_last<>.

The iterators of slist are forward iterators. slist provides a static function called "previous" to compute the previous iterator of a given iterator. This function has linear complexity. To improve the usability esp. with the '*_after' functions, ++end() == begin() and previous(begin()) == end() are defined. An new special function "before_begin()" is defined, which returns an iterator that points one less the beginning of the list: ++before_begin() == begin()

slist public construct/copy/destruct

  1. explicit slist(const value_traits & v_traits = value_traits());

    Effects: constructs an empty list.

    Complexity: Constant

    Throws: If value_traits::node_traits::node constructor throws (this does not happen with predefined Boost.Intrusive hooks).

  2. template<typename Iterator> 
      slist(Iterator b, Iterator e, 
            const value_traits & v_traits = value_traits());

    Requires: Dereferencing iterator must yield an lvalue of type value_type.

    Effects: Constructs a list equal to [b ,e).

    Complexity: Linear in std::distance(b, e). No copy constructors are called.

    Throws: If value_traits::node_traits::node constructor throws (this does not happen with predefined Boost.Intrusive hooks).

  3. slist(BOOST_RV_REF(slist) x);

    Effects: to-do

  4. slist& operator=(BOOST_RV_REF(slist) x);

    Effects: to-do

  5. ~slist();

    Effects: If it's a safe-mode or auto-unlink value, the destructor does nothing (ie. no code is generated). Otherwise it detaches all elements from this. In this case the objects in the list are not deleted (i.e. no destructors are called), but the hooks according to the value_traits template parameter are set to their default value.

    Complexity: Linear to the number of elements in the list, if it's a safe-mode or auto-unlink value. Otherwise constant.
