430 <h2 class='title'><a name='OVERVIEW'>Overview</a></h2>
431
432 <p>The CUPS array API provides a high-performance generic array container.
433 The contents of the array container can be sorted and the container itself is
434 designed for optimal speed and memory usage under a wide variety of conditions.
435 Sorted arrays use a binary search algorithm from the last found or inserted
436 element to quickly find matching elements in the array. Arrays created with the
437 optional hash function can often find elements with a single lookup. The
438 <a href='#cups_array_t'><code>cups_array_t</code></a> type is used when
439 referring to a CUPS array.</p>
440
441 <p>The CUPS scheduler (<tt>cupsd</tt>) and many of the CUPS API
442 functions use the array API to efficiently manage large lists of
443 data.</p>
444
445 <h3><a name='MANAGING_ARRAYS'>Managing Arrays</a></h3>
446
447 <p>Arrays are created using either the
448 <a href='#cupsArrayNew'><code>cupsArrayNew</code></a>,
449 <a href='#cupsArrayNew2'><code>cupsArrayNew2</code></a>, or
450 <a href='#cupsArrayNew2'><code>cupsArrayNew3</code></a> functions. The
451 first function creates a new array with the specified callback function
452 and user data pointer:</p>
453
454 <pre class='example'>
455 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
456
457 static int compare_func(void *first, void *second, void *user_data);
458
459 void *user_data;
460 <a href='#cups_array_t'>cups_array_t</a> *array = <a href='#cupsArrayNew'>cupsArrayNew</a>(compare_func, user_data);
461 </pre>
462
463 <p>The comparison function (type
464 <a href="#cups_arrayfunc_t"><code>cups_arrayfunc_t</code></a>) is called
465 whenever an element is added to the array and can be <code>NULL</code> to
466 create an unsorted array. The function returns -1 if the first element should
467 come before the second, 0 if the first and second elements should have the same
468 ordering, and 1 if the first element should come after the second.</p>
469
470 <p>The "user_data" pointer is passed to your comparison function. Pass
471 <code>NULL</code> if you do not need to associate the elements in your array
472 with additional information.</p>
473
474 <p>The <a href='#cupsArrayNew2'><code>cupsArrayNew2</code></a> function adds
475 two more arguments to support hashed lookups, which can potentially provide
476 instantaneous ("O(1)") lookups in your array:</p>
477
478 <pre class='example'>
479 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
480
481 #define HASH_SIZE 512 /* Size of hash table */
482
483 static int compare_func(void *first, void *second, void *user_data);
484 static int hash_func(void *element, void *user_data);
485
486 void *user_data;
487 <a href='#cups_array_t'>cups_array_t</a> *hash_array = <a href='#cupsArrayNew2'>cupsArrayNew2</a>(compare_func, user_data, hash_func, HASH_SIZE);
488 </pre>
489
490 <p>The hash function (type
491 <a href="#cups_ahash_func_t"><code>cups_ahash_func_t</code></a>) should return a
492 number from 0 to (hash_size-1) that (hopefully) uniquely identifies the
493 element and is called whenever you look up an element in the array with
494 <a href='#cupsArrayFind'><code>cupsArrayFind</code></a>. The hash size is
495 only limited by available memory, but generally should not be larger than
496 16384 to realize any performance improvement.</p>
497
498 <p>The <a href='#cupsArrayNew3'><code>cupsArrayNew3</code></a> function adds
499 copy and free callbacks to support basic memory management of elements:</p>
500
501 <pre class='example'>
502 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
503
504 #define HASH_SIZE 512 /* Size of hash table */
505
506 static int compare_func(void *first, void *second, void *user_data);
507 static void *copy_func(void *element, void *user_data);
508 static void free_func(void *element, void *user_data);
509 static int hash_func(void *element, void *user_data);
510
511 void *user_data;
512 <a href='#cups_array_t'>cups_array_t</a> *array = <a href='#cupsArrayNew3'>cupsArrayNew3</a>(compare_func, user_data, NULL, 0, copy_func, free_func);
513
514 <a href='#cups_array_t'>cups_array_t</a> *hash_array = <a href='#cupsArrayNew3'>cupsArrayNew3</a>(compare_func, user_data, hash_func, HASH_SIZE, copy_func, free_func);
515 </pre>
516
517 <p>Once you have created the array, you add elements using the
518 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'><code>cupsArrayAdd</code></a>
519 <a href='#cupsArrayInsert'><code>cupsArrayInsert</code></a> functions.
520 The first function adds an element to the array, adding the new element
521 after any elements that have the same order, while the second inserts the
522 element before others with the same order. For unsorted arrays,
523 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'><code>cupsArrayAdd</code></a> appends the element to
524 the end of the array while
525 <a href='#cupsArrayInsert'><code>cupsArrayInsert</code></a> inserts the
526 element at the beginning of the array. For example, the following code
527 creates a sorted array of character strings:</p>
528
529 <pre class='example'>
530 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
531
532 /* Use strcmp() to compare strings - it will ignore the user_data pointer */
533 <a href='#cups_array_t'>cups_array_t</a> *array = <a href='#cupsArrayNew'>cupsArrayNew</a>((<a href='#cups_array_func_t'>cups_array_func_t</a>)strcmp, NULL);
534
535 /* Add four strings to the array */
536 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "One Fish");
537 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Two Fish");
538 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Red Fish");
539 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Blue Fish");
540 </pre>
541
542 <p>Elements are removed using the
543 <a href='#cupsArrayRemove'><code>cupsArrayRemove</code></a> function, for
544 example:</p>
545
546 <pre class='example'>
547 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
548
549 /* Use strcmp() to compare strings - it will ignore the user_data pointer */
550 <a href='#cups_array_t'>cups_array_t</a> *array = <a href='#cupsArrayNew'>cupsArrayNew</a>((<a href='#cups_array_func_t'>cups_array_func_t</a>)strcmp, NULL);
551
552 /* Add four strings to the array */
553 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "One Fish");
554 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Two Fish");
555 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Red Fish");
556 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Blue Fish");
557
558 /* Remove "Red Fish" */
559 <a href='#cupsArrayRemove'>cupsArrayRemove</a>(array, "Red Fish");
560 </pre>
561
562 <p>Finally, you free the memory used by the array using the
563 <a href='#cupsArrayDelete'><code>cupsArrayDelete</code></a> function. All
564 of the memory for the array and hash table (if any) is freed, however <em>CUPS
565 does not free the elements unless you provide copy and free functions</em>.</p>
566
567 <h3><a name='FINDING_AND_ENUMERATING'>Finding and Enumerating Elements</a></h3>
568
569 <p>CUPS provides several functions to find and enumerate elements in an
570 array. Each one sets or updates a "current index" into the array, such that
571 future lookups will start where the last one left off:</p>
572
573 <dl>
574 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayFind'><code>cupsArrayFind</code></a></dt>
575 <dd>Returns the first matching element.</dd>
576 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayFirst'><code>cupsArrayFirst</code></a></dt>
577 <dd>Returns the first element in the array.</dd>
578 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayIndex'><code>cupsArrayIndex</code></a></dt>
579 <dd>Returns the Nth element in the array, starting at 0.</dd>
580 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayLast'><code>cupsArrayLast</code></a></dt>
581 <dd>Returns the last element in the array.</dd>
582 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayNext'><code>cupsArrayNext</code></a></dt>
583 <dd>Returns the next element in the array.</dd>
584 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayPrev'><code>cupsArrayPrev</code></a></dt>
585 <dd>Returns the previous element in the array.</dd>
586 </dl>
587
588 <p>Each of these functions returns <code>NULL</code> when there is no
589 corresponding element. For example, a simple <code>for</code> loop using the
590 <a href='#cupsArrayFirst'><code>cupsArrayFirst</code></a> and
591 <a href='#cupsArrayNext'><code>cupsArrayNext</code></a> functions will
592 enumerate all of the strings in our previous example:</p>
593
594 <pre class='example'>
595 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
596
597 /* Use strcmp() to compare strings - it will ignore the user_data pointer */
598 <a href='#cups_array_t'>cups_array_t</a> *array = <a href='#cupsArrayNew'>cupsArrayNew</a>((<a href='#cups_array_func_t'>cups_array_func_t</a>)strcmp, NULL);
599
600 /* Add four strings to the array */
601 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "One Fish");
602 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Two Fish");

608 for (s = (char *)<a href='#cupsArrayFirst'>cupsArrayFirst</a>(array); s != NULL; s = (char *)<a href='#cupsArrayNext'>cupsArrayNext</a>(array))
