Module rustc_ap_rustc_data_structures::graph::implementation[][src]

Expand description

A graph module for use in dataflow, region resolution, and elsewhere.

Interface details

You customize the graph by specifying a “node data” type N and an “edge data” type E. You can then later gain access (mutable or immutable) to these “user-data” bits. Currently, you can only add nodes or edges to the graph. You cannot remove or modify them once added. This could be changed if we have a need.

Implementation details

The main tricky thing about this code is the way that edges are stored. The edges are stored in a central array, but they are also threaded onto two linked lists for each node, one for incoming edges and one for outgoing edges. Note that every edge is a member of some incoming list and some outgoing list. Basically you can load the first index of the linked list from the node data structures (the field first_edge) and then, for each edge, load the next index from the field next_edge). Each of those fields is an array that should be indexed by the direction (see the type Direction).
