The emphasis is on storage and processing efficiency, -making them suitable for large lists. Note that the ordering of items is -not preserved over some operations. - -Data Structures ---------------- - -`struct oid_array`:: - - A single array of object IDs. This should be initialized by - assignment from `OID_ARRAY_INIT`. The `oid` member contains - the actual data. The `nr` member contains the number of items in - the set. The `alloc` and `sorted` members are used internally, - and should not be needed by API callers. - -Functions ---------- - -`oid_array_append`:: - Add an item to the set. The object ID will be placed at the end of - the array (but note that some operations below may lose this - ordering). - -`oid_array_lookup`:: - Perform a binary search of the array for a specific object ID. - If found, returns the offset (in number of elements) of the - object ID. If not found, returns a negative integer. If the array - is not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting it. - -`oid_array_clear`:: - Free all memory associated with the array and return it to the - initial, empty state. - -`oid_array_for_each`:: - Iterate over each element of the list, executing the callback - function for each one. Does not sort the list, so any custom - hash order is retained. If the callback returns a non-zero - value, the iteration ends immediately and the callback's - return is propagated; otherwise, 0 is returned. - -`oid_array_for_each_unique`:: - Iterate over each unique element of the list in sorted order, - but otherwise behave like `oid_array_for_each`. If the array - is not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting - it. - -`oid_array_filter`:: - Apply the callback function `want` to each entry in the array, - retaining only the entries for which the function returns true. - Preserve the order of the entries that are retained. - -Examples --------- - ------------------------------------------ -int print_callback(const struct object_id *oid, - void *data) -{ - printf("%s\n", oid_to_hex(oid)); - return 0; /* always continue */ -} - -void some_func(void) -{ - struct sha1_array hashes = OID_ARRAY_INIT; - struct object_id oid; - - /* Read objects into our set */ - while (read_object_from_stdin(oid.hash)) - oid_array_append(&hashes, &oid); - - /* Check if some objects are in our set */ - while (read_object_from_stdin(oid.hash)) { - if (oid_array_lookup(&hashes, &oid) >= 0) - printf("it's in there!\n"); - - /* - * Print the unique set of objects. We could also have - * avoided adding duplicate objects in the first place, - * but we would end up re-sorting the array repeatedly. - * Instead, this will sort once and then skip duplicates - * in linear time. - */ - oid_array_for_each_unique(&hashes, print_callback, NULL); -} ------------------------------------------ |
