anylist-0.5.3 has been yanked.
AnyList
AnyList works as a Vec but without generics in it's type.
without having a generic it's type, you can make a list of lists that have different types.
the only issue this creates is having to use the correct type in every function because all of them need a generic, exept for the remove and pop implementations.
if a wrong type it's used, then the API will panic.
the only purpose of this is to out perform an Vec<Box>, which generates fragmentation and indirection, with an extra pointer.
capacity increments using a fibonacci sequence.
Example:
fn main() {
let mut list = AnyList::new::<u32>();
list.push::<u32>(1);
list.insert::<u32>(1, 2);
list.push::<u32>(3);
assert_eq!(*list.index::<u32>(0), 1);
assert_eq!(*list.index::<u32>(1), 2);
assert_eq!(*list.index::<u32>(2), 3);
list.remove(0);
assert_eq!(*list.index::<u32>(0), 2);
assert_eq!(*list.index::<u32>(1), 3);
list.pop();
assert_eq!(*list.index::<u32>(0), 2);
list.insert::<u32>(0, 1);
for i in 0..list.len() {
println!("{:?}", list.index::<u32>(i))
}
assert_eq!(*list.index::<u32>(0), 1);
assert_eq!(*list.index::<u32>(1), 2);
}
