.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions create and manipulate a balanced binary (AVL) tree. Each node
|
|
of the tree contains the expected left & right subtree pointers, a short int
|
|
balance indicator, and a pointer to the user data. On a 32 bit system, this
|
|
means an overhead of 4+4+2+4 bytes per node (or, on a RISC or otherwise
|
|
alignment constrained system with implied padding, 4+4+4+4 bytes per node).
|
|
There is no key data type enforced by this package; a caller supplied
|
|
compare routine is used to compare user data blocks.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Balanced binary trees are very fast on searches and replacements, but have a
|
|
moderately high cost for additions and deletions. If your application does a
|
|
lot more searches and replacements than it does additions and deletions, the
|
|
balanced (AVL) binary tree is a good choice for a data structure.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Tree_init
|
|
creates an empty tree and binds it to
|
|
.I tree
|
|
(which for this and all other routines in this package should be declared as
|
|
a pointer to void or int, and passed by reference), which can then be used by
|
|
other routines in this package. Note that more than one
|
|
.I tree
|
|
variable can exist at once; thus multiple trees can be manipulated
|
|
simultaneously.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Tree_srch
|
|
searches a tree for a specific node and returns either
|
|
.I NULL
|
|
if no node was found, or the value of the user data pointer if the node
|
|
was found.
|
|
.I compare
|
|
is the address of a function to compare two user data blocks. This routine
|
|
should work much the way
|
|
.IR strcmp (3)
|
|
does; in fact,
|
|
.I strcmp
|
|
could be used if the user data was a \s-2NUL\s+2 terminated string.
|
|
.I data
|
|
is the address of a user data block to be used by
|
|
.I compare
|
|
as the search criteria. The tree is searched for a node where
|
|
.I compare
|
|
returns 0.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Tree_add
|
|
inserts or replaces a node in the specified tree. The tree specified by
|
|
.I tree
|
|
is searched as in
|
|
.I tree_srch,
|
|
and if a node is found to match
|
|
.I data,
|
|
then the
|
|
.I del_uar
|
|
function, if non\-\s-2NULL\s+2, is called with the address of the user data
|
|
block for the node (this routine should deallocate any dynamic memory which
|
|
is referenced exclusively by the node); the user data pointer for the node
|
|
is then replaced by the value of
|
|
.I data.
|
|
If no node is found to match, a new node is added (which may or may not
|
|
cause a transparent rebalance operation), with a user data pointer equal to
|
|
.I data.
|
|
A rebalance may or may not occur, depending on where the node is added
|
|
and what the rest of the tree looks like.
|
|
.I Tree_add
|
|
will return the
|
|
.I data
|
|
pointer unless catastrophe occurs in which case it will return \s-2NULL\s+2.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Tree_delete
|
|
deletes a node from
|
|
.I tree.
|
|
A rebalance may or may not occur, depending on where the node is removed from
|
|
and what the rest of the tree looks like.
|
|
.I Tree_delete
|
|
returns TRUE if a node was deleted, FALSE otherwise.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Tree_trav
|
|
traverses all of
|
|
.I tree,
|
|
calling
|
|
.I trav_uar
|
|
with the address of each user data block. If
|
|
.I trav_uar
|
|
returns FALSE at any time,
|
|
.I tree_trav
|
|
will immediately return FALSE to its caller. Otherwise all nodes will be
|
|
reached and
|
|
.I tree_trav
|
|
will return TRUE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Tree_mung
|
|
deletes every node in
|
|
.I tree,
|
|
calling
|
|
.I del_uar
|
|
(if it is not \s-2NULL\s+2) with the user data address from each node (see
|
|
.I tree_add
|
|
and
|
|
.I tree_delete
|
|
above). The tree is left in the same state that
|
|
.I tree_init
|
|
leaves it in \- i.e., empty.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Should have a way for the caller to specify application specific
|
|
.I malloc
|
|
and
|
|
.I free
|
|
functions to be used internally when allocating meta data.
