A "sorted" list is one whose + * entries are sorted by string value in `strcmp()` order. + * + * The caller: + * + * . Allocates and clears a `struct string_list` variable. + * + * . Initializes the members. You might want to set the flag `strdup_strings` + * if the strings should be strdup()ed. For example, this is necessary + * when you add something like git_path("..."), since that function returns + * a static buffer that will change with the next call to git_path(). + * + * If you need something advanced, you can manually malloc() the `items` + * member (you need this if you add things later) and you should set the + * `nr` and `alloc` members in that case, too. + * + * . Adds new items to the list, using `string_list_append`, + * `string_list_append_nodup`, `string_list_insert`, + * `string_list_split`, and/or `string_list_split_in_place`. + * + * . Can check if a string is in the list using `string_list_has_string` or + * `unsorted_string_list_has_string` and get it from the list using + * `string_list_lookup` for sorted lists. + * + * . Can sort an unsorted list using `string_list_sort`. + * + * . Can remove duplicate items from a sorted list using + * `string_list_remove_duplicates`. + * + * . Can remove individual items of an unsorted list using + * `unsorted_string_list_delete_item`. + * + * . Can remove items not matching a criterion from a sorted or unsorted + * list using `filter_string_list`, or remove empty strings using + * `string_list_remove_empty_items`. + * + * . Finally it should free the list using `string_list_clear`. + * + * Example: + * + * struct string_list list = STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP; + * int i; + * + * string_list_append(&list, "foo"); + * string_list_append(&list, "bar"); + * for (i = 0; i < list.nr; i++) + * printf("%s\n", list.items[i].string) + * + * NOTE: It is more efficient to build an unsorted list and sort it + * afterwards, instead of building a sorted list (`O(n log n)` instead of + * `O(n^2)`). + * + * However, if you use the list to check if a certain string was added + * already, you should not do that (using unsorted_string_list_has_string()), + * because the complexity would be quadratic again (but with a worse factor). + */ + +/** + * Represents an item of the list.
