embed_collections/
slist.rs

1//! An intrusive singly linked list implementation.
2//!
3//! This module provides `SLinkedList`, a singly linked list optimized for FIFO (First-In, First-Out)
4//! queue-like behavior. Elements embed the list nodes themselves, offering memory efficiency
5//! and explicit control over allocation.
6//!
7//! # Features
8//! - O(1) push to back and pop from front.
9//! - Generic over pointer types (`Box`, `Arc`, `NonNull`, raw pointers).
10//!
11//! # Example
12//! ```rust
13//! use embed_collections::{slist::{SLinkedList, SListItem, SListNode}, Pointer};
14//! use core::cell::UnsafeCell;
15//!
16//! struct MyTask {
17//!     priority: u8,
18//!     description: String,
19//!     node: UnsafeCell<SListNode<MyTask, ()>>, // Node embedded directly
20//! }
21//!
22//! impl MyTask {
23//!     fn new(priority: u8, desc: &str) -> Self {
24//!         MyTask {
25//!             priority,
26//!             description: desc.to_string(),
27//!             node: UnsafeCell::new(SListNode::default()),
28//!         }
29//!     }
30//! }
31//!
32//! // Safety: Implementors must ensure `get_node` returns a valid reference
33//! // to the embedded `SListNode`. `UnsafeCell` is used for interior mutability.
34//! unsafe impl SListItem<()> for MyTask {
35//!     fn get_node(&self) -> &mut SListNode<Self, ()> {
36//!         unsafe { &mut *self.node.get() }
37//!     }
38//! }
39//!
40//! let mut task_queue = SLinkedList::<Box<MyTask>, ()>::new();
41//!
42//! task_queue.push_back(Box::new(MyTask::new(1, "Handle user login")));
43//! task_queue.push_back(Box::new(MyTask::new(2, "Process analytics data")));
44//! task_queue.push_back(Box::new(MyTask::new(1, "Send welcome email")));
45//!
46//! assert_eq!(task_queue.len(), 3);
47//!
48//! // Process tasks in FIFO order
49//! assert_eq!(task_queue.pop_front().unwrap().description, "Handle user login");
50//! assert_eq!(task_queue.pop_front().unwrap().description, "Process analytics data");
51//! assert_eq!(task_queue.pop_front().unwrap().description, "Send welcome email");
52//! assert!(task_queue.is_empty());
