Detailed Description

The module implements a balanced binary tree type, i.e. a container managing key/value pairs as elements. The container is optimized for lookup operations.

Synopsis:: #include <cxtree.h>

Typedef Documentation

typedef cxbool(* cx_tree_compare_func)(cxcptr, cxcptr)

The tree's key comparison operator function.

This type of function is used by a tree internally to compare the keys of its elements. A key comparison operator returns TRUE if the comparison of its first argument with the second argument succeeds, and FALSE otherwise, as, for instance, the logical operators < or > do.

Examples:

A less than operator for integer values
#include <cxtree.h>

cxbool less_int(cxcptr i1, cxcptr i2)

{

return *i1 < *i2;

}

A less than operator for strings
#include <string.h>

#include <cxtree.h>

cxbool less_string(cxcptr s1, cxcptr s2)

{

return strcmp(s1, s2) < 0;

}

Function Documentation

cxptr cx_tree_assign	(	cx_tree *	tree,
		cx_tree_iterator	position,
		cxcptr	data
	)

Assign data to an iterator position.

Parameters

tree	A tree.
position	Iterator positions where the data will be stored.
data	Data to store.

Returns: Handle to the previously stored data object.

The function assigns a data object reference data to the iterator position position of the tree tree.

Referenced by cx_map_assign(), cx_map_put(), and cx_multimap_assign().

cx_tree_iterator cx_tree_begin ( const cx_tree * tree )

Get an iterator to the first pair in the tree.

Parameters

tree	The tree to query.

Returns: Iterator for the first pair or cx_tree_end() if the tree is empty.

The function returns a handle for the first pair in the tree tree. The returned iterator cannot be used directly to access the value field of the key/value pair, but only through the appropriate methods.

Referenced by cx_map_begin(), and cx_multimap_begin().

void cx_tree_clear ( cx_tree * tree )

Remove all pairs from a tree.

Parameters

tree	Tree to be cleared.

Returns: Nothing.

The tree tree is cleared, i.e. all pairs are removed from the tree. Keys and values are destroyed using the key and value destructors set up during tree creation. After calling this function the tree is empty.

Referenced by cx_map_clear(), and cx_multimap_clear().

cxsize cx_tree_count	(	const cx_tree *	tree,
		cxcptr	key
	)

Get the number of elements matching a key.

Parameters

tree	A tree.
key	Key of the (key, value) pair(s) to locate.

Returns: The number of elements with the specified key.

Counts all elements of the tree tree matching the key key.

Referenced by cx_multimap_count().

void cx_tree_delete ( cx_tree * tree )

Destroy a tree and all its elements.

Parameters

tree	The tree to destroy.

Returns: Nothing.

The tree tree is deallocated. All data values and keys are deallocated using the tree's key and value destructor. If no key and/or value destructor was set when the tree was created the keys and the stored data values are left untouched. In this case the key and value deallocation is the responsibility of the user.

cxbool cx_tree_empty ( const cx_tree * tree )

Check whether a tree is empty.

Parameters

tree A tree.

Returns: The function returns TRUE if the tree is empty, and FALSE otherwise.

The function checks if the tree contains any pairs. Calling this function is equivalent to the statement:

return (cx_tree_size(tree) == 0);

cx_tree_iterator cx_tree_end ( const cx_tree * tree )

Get an iterator for the position after the last pair in the tree.

Parameters

tree	The tree to query.

Returns: Iterator for the end of the tree.

The function returns an iterator for the position one past the last pair in the tree tree. The iteration is done in ascending order according to the keys. The returned iterator cannot be used directly to access the value field of the key/value pair, but only through the appropriate methods.

Referenced by cx_map_count(), cx_map_end(), cx_map_get(), cx_map_put(), and cx_multimap_end().

void cx_tree_equal_range	(	const cx_tree *	tree,

end	Last element with key key.

Returns: Nothing.

The function returns the beginning and the end of a subsequence of tree elements with the key key through through the begin and end arguments. After calling this function begin possibly points to the first element of tree matching the key key and end possibly points to the last element of the sequence. If key is not present in the tree begin points to the next greater element or, if no such element exists, to cx_tree_end().

Parameters

compare	Function used to compare keys.
key_destroy	Destructor for the keys.
value_destroy	Destructor for the value field.

Returns: Handle for the newly allocated tree.

Memory for a new tree is allocated and the tree is initialized to be a valid empty tree.

The tree's key comparison function is set to compare. It must return TRUE or FALSE if the comparison of the first argument passed to it with the second argument is found to be true or false respectively.

The destructors for a tree node's key and value field are set to key_destroy and value_destroy. Whenever a tree node is destroyed these functions are used to deallocate the memory used by the key and the value. Each of the destructors might be NULL, i.e. keys and values are not deallocated during destroy operations.
