Struct YEventChange 

#[repr(C)]
pub struct YEventChange {
    pub tag: u8,
    pub len: u32,
    pub values: *const YOutput,
}

A data type representing a single change detected over an observed shared collection. A type of change can be detected using a tag field:

1. Y_EVENT_CHANGE_ADD marks a new elements added to a collection. In this case values field contains a pointer to a list of newly inserted values, while len field informs about their count.
2. Y_EVENT_CHANGE_DELETE marks an existing elements removed from the collection. In this case len field informs about number of removed elements.
3. Y_EVENT_CHANGE_RETAIN marks a number of elements that have not been changed, counted from the previous element. len field informs about number of retained elements.

A list of changes returned by yarray_event_delta/yxml_event_delta enables to locate a position of all changes within an observed collection by using a combination of added/deleted change structs separated by retained changes (marking eg. number of elements that can be safely skipped, since they remained unchanged).

Fields

tag: u8

Tag field used to identify particular type of change made:

1. Y_EVENT_CHANGE_ADD marks a new elements added to a collection. In this case values field contains a pointer to a list of newly inserted values, while len field informs about their count.
2. Y_EVENT_CHANGE_DELETE marks an existing elements removed from the collection. In this case len field informs about number of removed elements.
3. Y_EVENT_CHANGE_RETAIN marks a number of elements that have not been changed, counted from the previous element. len field informs about number of retained elements.

len: u32

Number of element affected by current type of a change. It can refer to a number of inserted values, number of deleted element or a number of retained (unchanged) values.

values: *const YOutput

Used in case when current change is of Y_EVENT_CHANGE_ADD type. Contains a list (of length stored in len field) of newly inserted values.
