WorkList< T, Compare > Class Template Reference

Description

template<typename T, class Compare = std::less<T>>
class WorkList< T, Compare >

List of things to work on.

A WorkList is an ordered list of items of user-defined type. Items are inserted (and copied) onto either the front or back of the list and are removed from either the front or back, allowing the WorkList to be used as a queue, stack, or combination. The modifier method names (push, pop, unshift, shift) are the same as for lists in Perl, and the worklist operates in a similar manner: push/pop operate on one end of the list while unshift/shift operate on the other end of the list.

Methods that insert items can optionally check that the item to be inserted is not already in the list, and skip the insertion if it is. Their behavior in this regard is controlled by an optional Boolean (actually, boost::tribool) argument that that enables or disables the uniqueness check. If the argument is indeterminate (the default) then the uniqueness check depends on whether uniqueness checking was enabled or disabled when the list was constructed. The optional argument allows a list that was constructed one way to be used a different way, although doing so may be less efficient.

Subclasses WorkListUnique and WorkListNonUnique are convenient ways to create a worklist and provide better documentation as to the default setting for uniqueness checking.

Time and space complexity

Lists that are constructed to perform uniqueness checks store two copies of their elements: the extra copy is an std::map that's used for its ability to do O(log(N)) lookups for the uniqueness checks. Insertion is O(log N) regardless of whether uniqueness is checked at the time of insertion. Removal and existance are also O(log N).

Lists that are constructed to not perform uniqueness checks store only one copy of each element. Insertion and removal are constant time operations, but existance is linear.

Size is always a constant time operation even if the list is implemented with std::list.

Examples

The following code prints "7123456789"

static int tail[3] = {7, 8, 9}, head[3] = {3, 2, 1};
worklist.push(5);
worklist.unshift(4);
worklist.push(5); //no-op for WorkListUnique
worklist.push(6);
worklist.push(tail+0, tail+3);
worklist.unshift(head+0, head+3);
worklist.unshift(6, true); //no-op
worklist.unshift(7, false); //disable uniqueness check
while (!worklist.empty())
std::cout <<worklist.shift();

If we change the worklist to a WorkListNonUnique, then it would print "71234556789" instead (the only difference is that the second push(5) defaulted to non-unique insertion).

template<typename T, class Compare = std::less<T>>
bool WorkList< T, Compare >::exists ( const T &  item) const

Return true if the specified item is already on the work list.

Time complexity is O(log(N)).

template<typename T , class Compare >
bool WorkList< T, Compare >::unshift ( const T &  item,
boost::tribool  check_uniqueness = boost::indeterminate

Add an item to the front of the work list.

If unique is true (the default) then the item is added to the list only if it's not already on the list. Returns true if the item was added to the list. Time complexity is O(log(N)).

template<typename T , class Compare >
template<class Iterator >
size_t WorkList< T, Compare >::unshift ( const Iterator &  begin,
const Iterator &  end,
boost::tribool  check_uniqueness = boost::indeterminate 
)

Adds multiple items to the front of the work list.

If unique is true (the default) then an item is added to the list only if it's not already on the list. Returns the number of items that were added to the list. Time complexity is O(M log(N+M)) where M is the number of items being inserted.
