Iter Who? IterList!

It's a doubly linked list with a cursor based api.
also an iterator!

O(1) pretty much everything (at and around the cursor).
Originally made it for Shard, but thought it could be useful to someone else.

Sign here to join the linked-list uprising against the Vec tyranny!

Now Featuring: the atomic module!
Are you bored of performant data structures?
Do you want to do some lock-free shenanigans?
slaps hood
Well this baby's now Send + Sync

Using Result<Option<Result<Result ...
Hollow

Example

use iterlist::IterList;

let mut list = IterList::new();

list.push_prev(-1);
list.push_next(1);
list.push_next(2);
list.push_next(3);

assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", list), "[-1, 1, 2, 3]");

list.move_to(2);
assert_eq!(list.get_cursor(), Some(&2));

list.move_by(-2);
assert_eq!(list.index(), 0);

let mut cursor = list.as_cursor();
assert_eq!(cursor.next(), Some(&-1));
assert_eq!(cursor.next(), Some(&1));

assert_eq!(list.get(1), Some(&1));

list.move_by(2);
let (elem, _) = list.consume_forward().unwrap();
assert_eq!(elem, 2);

assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", list), "[-1, 1, 3]");

let num = list.fold(0, |acc, elem| acc + elem);

assert_eq!(num, 3);

Why would I want to use IterList?

  • You're iterating over a list, and are removing/inserting elements as you go. (In my tests it was marginally better than std::collections::VecDeque)
  • You want to have multiple independent cursors on the same list.
  • You need an iterator that you can move around in and modify.
  • It's also noticably faster than std::collections::LinkedList in most cases!
  • You wanna look cool (⌐■-■) ... or not, I'm not your boss. (psst the api is preeetty nice :p)

Todos

  • append - append another list to the end of this one.
  • prepend - prepend another list to the start of this one.
  • drain - remove a range of elements (around the cursor) from the list.
  • splice - replace a range of elements (around the cursor) with another list.
  • DoubleEndedIterator for Cursor.
  • feature(atomic) - atomic IterList and Cursor.
  • feature(pool) - semi-pool allocated list for grouping elements into contiguous memory.
  • feature(no_std) - no std support.
  • feature(serde) - serde support.

Feel free to add any of these if ya wanna!
