Detailed Description

Eina_Clist is a compact (inline) list implementation.

Elements of this list are members of the structs stored in the list.

Advantages over Eina_List and Eina_Inlist :

Uses less memory (two machine words per item).
Allows removing items without knowing which list they're in while using O(1) time.
Doesn't need to keep updating the head pointer as the list is changed.

Disadvantages:

O(N) time to calculate the list length.
Requires one list entry in a struct per list (i.e. it's an inlist).
Requires a head/tail pointer.
Needs to know the list head when moving to the next or previous pointer.

Note: There's no NULL at the end of the list, the last item points to the head.; List heads must be initialized with EINA_CLIST_INIT or by calling eina_clist_element_init.

Define a list as follows:

struct gadget
{
    struct Eina_Clist  entry;   <-- doesn't have to be the first item in the struct
    int                a, b;
};
 
static Eina_Clist global_gadgets = EINA_CLIST_INIT( global_gadgets );

or

struct some_global_thing
{
    Eina_Clist gadgets;
};
 
eina_clist_init( &some_global_thing->gadgets );

Manipulate it like this:

eina_clist_add_head( &global_gadgets, &new_gadget->entry );
eina_clist_remove( &new_gadget->entry );
eina_clist_add_after( &some_random_gadget->entry, &new_gadget->entry );

And to iterate over it:

struct gadget *gadget;
EINA_CLIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY( gadget, &global_gadgets, struct gadget, entry )
{
    ...
}
