icentral-parents-map

icentral-parents-map provides a robust data structure for managing parent-child relationships between nodes, widely applicable in domains such as graph theory, dependency tracking, and hierarchical systems.

Features

• Node Parent Management: Add, set, and retrieve parents for nodes.
• Clearance Functions: Remove all or specific node's parents.
• Dynamic Structure Initialization: Flexible methods for initializing and reinitializing structures with different sizes.

Usage

Integrate this crate to efficiently manage node relationships through a rich API surface encapsulated in Rust traits.

Public Traits

• NumParentsForNode: Retrieve the number of parents for a given node.
• ParentsForNode: Obtain the list of parents for a node.
• ClearParents, ClearNodeParents: Functions to clear parent linkage.
• SetParentsForNode, SetSingleParent: Set multiple or single parents for nodes.
• HasParent: Check if a node has a specified parent.
• AddParent: Add a parent to a specific node.

Example

use crate::{ParentsMap, NodeId};

fn main() {
    let mut pm = ParentsMap::new(5, "example");
    let node = NodeId(1);
    let parent = NodeId(2);
    pm.set_single_parent(node, parent);
    assert!(pm.has_parent(node, parent));
}

Important Notes

• Utilize delegate_to_parents macro for efficient trait delegation.
• Suitable for graph-based implementations with nodes indexed using NodeId.

This crate is in the process of being translated from c++ to rust. Currently, it still needs exhaustive testing. It is likely there currently exist many glitches which need to be fixed before proper usage. This crate is based on the original icentral program developed by Fuad Jamor.
