.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions implement heap\-based priority queues. The user defines a
|
|
priority scheme, and provides a function for comparison of the priority
|
|
of heap elements
|
|
.Po see the description of the
|
|
.Ft heap_higher_priority_func
|
|
function pointer, below
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each of the functions depends upon the
|
|
.Ft heap_context
|
|
type, which is a pointer to a
|
|
.Ft struct heap_context
|
|
.Pq see Pa heap.h No for more information .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa heap.h
|
|
header file also defines the following set of function
|
|
function pointers:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
typedef int (*heap_higher_priority_func)(void *, void *);
|
|
typedef void (*heap_index_func)(void *, int);
|
|
typedef void (*heap_for_each_func)(void *, void *);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These are pointers to user-defined functions.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ft heap_higher_priority_func
|
|
type is a pointer to a function which compares two
|
|
different heap (queue) elements and returns an
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
which answers the question, "Does the first queue element
|
|
have a higher priority than the second?" In other words,
|
|
a function pointer of this type
|
|
.Em must
|
|
return a number greater than zero
|
|
if the element indicated by the first argument is of a higher priority than
|
|
that indicated by the second element, and zero otherwise.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The other two function pointers are documented in the descriptions
|
|
of
|
|
.Fn heap_new
|
|
.Pq Va heap_index_func
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn heap_for_each
|
|
.Pq Va heap_for_each_func ,
|
|
below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn heap_new
|
|
initializes a
|
|
.Ft struct heap_context
|
|
and returns a pointer to it. The
|
|
.Fa higher_priority
|
|
function pointer
|
|
.Em must
|
|
be
|
|
.No non\- Ns Dv NULL .
|
|
As explained above, this refers to a
|
|
function supplied by the user which compares the priority of two different
|
|
queue or heap elements; see above for more information.
|
|
The second argument,
|
|
.Fa index ,
|
|
is a pointer to a user-defined function whose arguments are
|
|
a heap element and its index in the heap.
|
|
.Fa Index
|
|
is intended to provide the user a means of knowing the internal index
|
|
of an element in the heap while maintaining the opacity of the implementation;
|
|
since the user has to know the actual indexes of heap elements in order to use,
|
|
e.g.,
|
|
.Fn heap_delete
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn heap_element ,
|
|
the user
|
|
.Fa index
|
|
function could store the index in the heap element, itself. If
|
|
.Fa index
|
|
is
|
|
.No non\- Ns Dv NULL ,
|
|
then it is called
|
|
.Em whenever
|
|
the index of an element changes, allowing the user to stay up\-to\-date
|
|
with index changes.
|
|
The last argument,
|
|
.Fa array_size_increment
|
|
will be used, as its name suggests, by
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr realloc 3
|
|
to increment the array which implements the heap; if zero, a default value
|
|
will be used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn heap_free
|
|
function frees the given
|
|
.Ft heap_context
|
|
argument
|
|
.Pq Fa ctx ,
|
|
which also frees the entire
|
|
.Nm heap ,
|
|
if it is
|
|
.No non\- Ns Dv NULL .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa ctx
|
|
should be
|
|
.No non\- Ns Dv NULL .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn heap_insert
|
|
function is used to insert the new heap element
|
|
.Fa elt
|
|
into the appropriate place (priority\-wise) in the
|
|
.Ft heap
|
|
indicated by
|
|
.Fa ctx
|
|
.Po a pointer to a
|
|
.Ft heap_context
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
If
|
|
.No non\- Ns Dv NULL ,
|
|
the user-defined
|
|
.Ft higher_priority
|
|
function pointer associated with the indicated
|
|
.Nm heap
|
|
is used to determine that
|
|
.Dq appropriate place ;
|
|
the highest\-priority elements are at the front of the queue (top of
|
|
the heap).
|
|
(See the description of
|
|
.Fn heap_new ,
|
|
above, for more information.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn heap_delete
|
|
is used to delete the
|
|
.Fa i\- Ns th
|
|
element of the queue (heap), and fixing up the queue (heap) from that
|
|
element onward via the priority as determined by the user function
|
|
pointed to by
|
|
.Ft higher_priority
|
|
function pointer
|
|
.Pq see description of Fn heap_new, No above .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn heap_increased
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn heap_decreased
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn heap_element
|
|
function returns the
|
|
.Fa i\- Ns th
|
|
element of the queue/heap indicated by
|
|
.Fa ctx ,
|
|
if possible.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn heap_for_each
|
|
function provides a mechanism for the user to increment through the entire
|
|
queue (heap) and perform some
|
|
.Fa action
|
|
upon each of the queue elements. This
|
|
.Fa action
|
|
is pointer to a user\-defined function with two arguments, the first of
|
|
which should be interpreted by the user's function as a heap element. The
|
|
second value passed to the user function is just the
|
|
.Fa uap
|
|
argument to
|
|
.Fn heap_for_each ;
|
|
this allows the user to specify additional arguments, if necessary, to
|
|
the function pointed to by
|
|
.Fa action .
