Opaque Structures

struct lfds711_list_asu_state;

Enums

enum lfds711_list_asu_query
{
  LFDS711_LIST_ASU_QUERY_GET_POTENTIALLY_INACCURATE_COUNT,
  LFDS711_LIST_ASU_QUERY_SINGLETHREADED_VALIDATE
};

Prototype

void lfds711_list_asu_query( struct lfds711_list_asu_state *lasus, enum lfds711_list_asu_query query_type, void *query_input, void *query_output );

Parameters

struct lfds711_list_asu_state *lasus

A pointer to an initialized struct lfds711_list_asu_state.

enum lfds711_list_asu_query query_type

Indicates which query to perform.

void *query_input

A pointer to input data for the query, where the data varies by query;

LFDS711_LIST_ASU_QUERY_GET_POTENTIALLY_INACCURATE_COUNT

query_input is NULL.

LFDS711_LIST_ASU_QUERY_SINGLETHREADED_VALIDATE

This argument can be NULL, or can be a pointer to a struct lfds711_liblfds_validation_info, which specifies an expected min/max count, in which case validation also counts the number of elements and check they fall within the specified range. The walk is thread-safe, the count is not. See Notes.

void *query_output

A pointer to output store for the query, where the output varies by query;

LFDS711_LIST_ASU_QUERY_GET_POTENTIALLY_INACCURATE_COUNT

Points to a lfds711_pal_uint_t, which is set to the number of elements in the list.

LFDS711_LIST_ASU_QUERY_SINGLETHREADED_VALIDATE

Points to an enum lfds711_misc_validity, which is set to indicate the result of the validation operation.

Notes

All SINGLETHREADED queries can only be safely performed if no insert operations occur while the operation runs. If insert operations do occur during the execution of a SINGLETHREADED query, it is theoretically possible for the query to enter an infinite loop or to access random memory. Do not do this.

The LFDS711_LIST_ASU_QUERY_GET_POTENTIALLY_INACCURATE_COUNT query is non-atomic and iterates over the list, counting elements; if new element are added during the iteration, they may not be seen. As such, the count is potentially inaccurate.
