Version 2.3 29 May 2010 Nathan Phillip Brink ohnobinki@ohnopublishing.net API now uses typedefs instead of macros for its types. There is also a small testsuite which tests very basic functionality of liblist. Also, #defines were introduced which break binary compatibility but prevent random symbol collisions ( http://bugs.mysql.com/52725 ). Version 2.2 26 December 2009 Nathan Phillip Brink ohnobinki@ohnopublishing.net http://ohnopub.net/liblist See NEWS. A publicly-accessible Mercurial repository is available at http://ohnopub.net/hg/liblist-unbased . Hopefully, I will someday be able to extract the revisions from nerdboy's SVN repo. If that happens, the new repository URL will be http://ohnopub.net/hg/liblist. 19 April 2009 Stephen L. Arnold nerdboy@gentoo.org Imported into local repo for mirroring Gentoo package; this is a required dependency of Ferret (see http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/home). Updated makefiles to remove old paths and accommodate CFLAGS. 28 July 1992 Bradley C. Spatz bcs@ufl.edu This package provides generic linked-list manipulation routines. In addition, queue and stack abstractions are provided by single header files. To use the package as a list, queue, or stack, simply include the respective header file and compile with the list library. Thus, a single set of linked list primitives can be used to implement stacks, queues, or any other list-based data structure (such as caches, etc.). The paper directory contains LaTeX source and DVI and Postscript output from a paper entitled "The list(3) Package: Software Design and Reusability", that describes the design and evolution of the package. This paper appears in the proceedings of the ACM 30th Annual Southeast Conference, Raleigh, North Carolina, April 8-10, 1992. The man page and install targets in the Makefile assume the library, man pages, and header files will be installed as a piece of system software. Specifically, the man pages refer to the header file with <>'s instead of quotes, and the library is referred to with the -l compiler switch. A set of example programs are provided to illustrate the package. They can be compiled without installing (see above) the library. By default, some of the routines are implemented as macros. You can override this by commenting out the -DUSE_MACROS from the Makefile and recompiling. Note that this #define also updates the man pages. --edit by ohnobinki: USE_MACROS has been weeded out of this package I have tested this package on Sun3, Sun4, DecStation 5000, PC/RT, HP 9000-400, and Sony(68030, News 3.3) architectures, and it performs well.
