.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
These macros define data structures for different types of trees:
|
||
|
splay trees and red-black trees.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
In the macro definitions,
|
||
|
.Fa TYPE
|
||
|
is the name tag of a user defined structure that must contain a field of type
|
||
|
.Li SPLAY_ENTRY ,
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.Li RB_ENTRY ,
|
||
|
named
|
||
|
.Fa ENTRYNAME .
|
||
|
The argument
|
||
|
.Fa HEADNAME
|
||
|
is the name tag of a user defined structure that must be declared
|
||
|
using the macros
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_HEAD
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.Fn RB_HEAD .
|
||
|
The argument
|
||
|
.Fa NAME
|
||
|
has to be a unique name prefix for every tree that is defined.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The function prototypes are declared with either
|
||
|
.Li SPLAY_PROTOTYPE
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.Li RB_PROTOTYPE .
|
||
|
The function bodies are generated with either
|
||
|
.Li SPLAY_GENERATE
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.Li RB_GENERATE .
|
||
|
See the examples below for further explanation of how these macros are used.
|
||
|
.Sh SPLAY TREES
|
||
|
A splay tree is a self-organizing data structure.
|
||
|
Every operation on the tree causes a splay to happen.
|
||
|
The splay moves the requested node to the root of the tree and partly
|
||
|
rebalances it.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
This has the benefit that request locality causes faster lookups as
|
||
|
the requested nodes move to the top of the tree.
|
||
|
On the other hand, every lookup causes memory writes.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The Balance Theorem bounds the total access time for m operations
|
||
|
and n inserts on an initially empty tree as O((m + n)lg n).
|
||
|
The amortized cost for a sequence of m accesses to a splay tree is O(lg n).
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
A splay tree is headed by a structure defined by the
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_HEAD
|
||
|
macro.
|
||
|
A
|
||
|
.Fa SPLAY_HEAD
|
||
|
structure is declared as follows:
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
SPLAY_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
where
|
||
|
.Fa HEADNAME
|
||
|
is the name of the structure to be defined, and struct
|
||
|
.Fa TYPE
|
||
|
is the type of the elements to be inserted into the tree.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_ENTRY
|
||
|
macro declares a structure that allows elements to be connected in the tree.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
In order to use the functions that manipulate the tree structure,
|
||
|
their prototypes need to be declared with the
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_PROTOTYPE
|
||
|
macro,
|
||
|
where
|
||
|
.Fa NAME
|
||
|
is a unique identifier for this particular tree.
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fa TYPE
|
||
|
argument is the type of the structure that is being managed
|
||
|
by the tree.
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fa FIELD
|
||
|
argument is the name of the element defined by
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_ENTRY .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The function bodies are generated with the
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_GENERATE
|
||
|
macro.
|
||
|
It takes the same arguments as the
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_PROTOTYPE
|
||
|
macro, but should be used only once.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Finally,
|
||
|
the
|
||
|
.Fa CMP
|
||
|
argument is the name of a function used to compare trees noded
|
||
|
with each other.
|
||
|
The function takes two arguments of type
|
||
|
.Fa "struct TYPE *" .
|
||
|
If the first argument is smaller than the second, the function returns a
|
||
|
value smaller than zero.
|
||
|
If they are equal, the function returns zero.
|
||
|
Otherwise, it should return a value greater than zero.
|
||
|
The compare function defines the order of the tree elements.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_INIT
|
||
|
macro initializes the tree referenced by
|
||
|
.Fa head .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The splay tree can also be initialized statically by using the
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_INITIALIZER
|
||
|
macro like this:
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
SPLAY_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head = SPLAY_INITIALIZER(&head);
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_INSERT
|
||
|
macro inserts the new element
|
||
|
.Fa elm
|
||
|
into the tree.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_REMOVE
|
||
|
macro removes the element
|
||
|
.Fa elm
|
||
|
from the tree pointed by
|
||
|
.Fa head .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_FIND
|
||
|
macro can be used to find a particular element in the tree.
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
struct TYPE find, *res;
|
||
|
find.key = 30;
|
||
|
res = SPLAY_FIND(NAME, &head, &find);
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_ROOT ,
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_MIN ,
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_MAX ,
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_NEXT
|
||
|
macros can be used to traverse the tree:
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
for (np = SPLAY_MIN(NAME, &head); np != NULL; np = SPLAY_NEXT(NAME, &head, np))
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Or, for simplicity, one can use the
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_FOREACH
|
||
|
macro:
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
SPLAY_FOREACH(np, NAME, &head)
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_EMPTY
|
||
|
macro should be used to check whether a splay tree is empty.
|
||
|
.Sh RED-BLACK TREES
|
||
|
A red-black tree is a binary search tree with the node color as an
|
||
|
extra attribute.
|
||
|
It fulfills a set of conditions:
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
.Bl -enum -compact -offset indent
|
||
|
.It
|
||
|
every search path from the root to a leaf consists of the same number of
|
||
|
black nodes,
|
||
|
.It
|
||
|
each red node (except for the root) has a black parent,
|
||
|
.It
|
||
|
each leaf node is black.
|
||
|
.El
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Every operation on a red-black tree is bounded as O(lg n).
|
||
|
The maximum height of a red-black tree is 2lg (n+1).
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
A red-black tree is headed by a structure defined by the
|
||
|
.Fn RB_HEAD
|
||
|
macro.
|
||
|
A
|
||
|
.Fa RB_HEAD
|
||
|
structure is declared as follows:
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
RB_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
where
|
||
|
.Fa HEADNAME
|
||
|
is the name of the structure to be defined, and struct
|
||
|
.Fa TYPE
|
||
|
is the type of the elements to be inserted into the tree.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn RB_ENTRY
|
||
|
macro declares a structure that allows elements to be connected in the tree.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
In order to use the functions that manipulate the tree structure,
|
||
|
their prototypes need to be declared with the
|
||
|
.Fn RB_PROTOTYPE
|
||
|
macro,
|
||
|
where
|
||
|
.Fa NAME
|
||
|
is a unique identifier for this particular tree.
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fa TYPE
|
||
|
argument is the type of the structure that is being managed
|
||
|
by the tree.
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fa FIELD
|
||
|
argument is the name of the element defined by
|
||
|
.Fn RB_ENTRY .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The function bodies are generated with the
|
||
|
.Fn RB_GENERATE
|
||
|
macro.
|
||
|
It takes the same arguments as the
|
||
|
.Fn RB_PROTOTYPE
|
||
|
macro, but should be used only once.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Finally,
|
||
|
the
|
||
|
.Fa CMP
|
||
|
argument is the name of a function used to compare trees noded
|
||
|
with each other.
|
||
|
The function takes two arguments of type
|
||
|
.Fa "struct TYPE *" .
|
||
|
If the first argument is smaller than the second, the function returns a
|
||
|
value smaller than zero.
|
||
|
If they are equal, the function returns zero.
|
||
|
Otherwise, it should return a value greater than zero.
|
||
|
The compare function defines the order of the tree elements.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn RB_INIT
|
||
|
macro initializes the tree referenced by
|
||
|
.Fa head .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The red-black tree can also be initialized statically by using the
|
||
|
.Fn RB_INITIALIZER
|
||
|
macro like this:
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
RB_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head = RB_INITIALIZER(&head);
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn RB_INSERT
|
||
|
macro inserts the new element
|
||
|
.Fa elm
|
||
|
into the tree.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn RB_REMOVE
|
||
|
macro removes the element
|
||
|
.Fa elm
|
||
|
from the tree pointed by
|
||
|
.Fa head .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn RB_FIND
|
||
|
macro can be used to find a particular element in the tree.
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
struct TYPE find, *res;
|
||
|
find.key = 30;
|
||
|
res = RB_FIND(NAME, &head, &find);
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn RB_ROOT ,
|
||
|
.Fn RB_MIN ,
|
||
|
.Fn RB_MAX ,
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Fn RB_NEXT
|
||
|
macros can be used to traverse the tree:
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
for (np = RB_MIN(NAME, &head); np != NULL; np = RB_NEXT(NAME, &head, np))
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Or, for simplicity, one can use the
|
||
|
.Fn RB_FOREACH
|
||
|
macro:
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
RB_FOREACH(np, NAME, &head)
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn RB_EMPTY
|
||
|
macro should be used to check whether a red-black tree is empty.
|
||
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
||
|
The following example demonstrates how to declare a red-black tree
|
||
|
holding integers.
|
||
|
Values are inserted into it and the contents of the tree are printed
|
||
|
in order.
|
||
|
Lastly, the internal structure of the tree is printed.

|
||
|
Trying to free a tree in the following way is a common error:
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
SPLAY_FOREACH(var, NAME, &head) {
|
||
|
SPLAY_REMOVE(NAME, &head, var);
|
||
|
free(var);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
free(head);
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Since
|
||
|
.Va var
|
||
|
is free'd, the
|
||
|
.Fn FOREACH
|
||
|
macro refers to a pointer that may have been reallocated already.
|
||
|
Proper code needs a second variable.
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
for (var = SPLAY_MIN(NAME, &head); var != NULL; var = nxt) {
|
||
|
nxt = SPLAY_NEXT(NAME, &head, var);
|
||
|
SPLAY_REMOVE(NAME, &head, var);
|
||
|
free(var);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Both
|
||
|
.Fn RB_INSERT
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_INSERT
|
||
|
return
|
||
|
.Va NULL
|
||
|
if the element was inserted in the tree successfully, otherwise they
|
||
|
return a pointer to the element with the colliding key.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Accordingly,
|
||
|
.Fn RB_REMOVE
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Fn SPLAY_REMOVE
|
||
|
return the pointer to the removed element, otherwise they return
|
||
|
.Va NULL
|
||
|
to indicate an error.
