IndexList - High-Performance Doubly-Linked List with Generational Indexing

IndexList is a high-performance, doubly-linked list implementation that allows efficient insertion, deletion, and iteration over elements. It uses std::Vec internally and employs a generational index system to prevent dangling references.

Key Features:

  1. Generational Index System: Ensures strong ownership semantics by tracking the generation of each element.
  2. Efficient Insertion and Deletion: Operations like push_back, insert_before, insert_after, pop_front, and remove are efficient.
  3. Safe Access via Generational Indices: Accessing elements through indices ensures they are not dangling or have been removed but not yet deallocated.

Usage

To use IndexList, add it to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
indexlist = "0.1"

Examples

Creating and Using an IndexList

use indexlist::IndexList;

let mut list = IndexList::new();
list.push_back(5);
list.push_back(10);
assert_eq!(list.len(), 2);

if let Some(index) = list.index_of(&5) {
    list.remove(index);
}
assert_eq!(list.len(), 1);

Iterating Over an IndexList

use indexlist::IndexList;

let mut list = IndexList::new();
list.push_back(1);
list.push_back(2);
list.push_back(3);

for item in &list {
    println!("{}", *item);
}
// Output:
// 1
// 2
// 3

Modifying Elements with IndexList

use indexlist::IndexList;

let mut list = IndexList::new();
let index = list.push_back(5);

if let Some(item) = list.get_mut(index) {
    *item += 1;
}

assert_eq!(list.len(), 1);
assert_eq!(*list.get(index).unwrap(), 6);
