341 <h2 class='title'><a name='OVERVIEW'>Overview</a></h2>
342
343 <p>The CUPS array API provides a high-performance generic array container.
344 The contents of the array container can be sorted and the container itself is
345 designed for optimal speed and memory usage under a wide variety of conditions.
346 Sorted arrays use a binary search algorithm from the last found or inserted
347 element to quickly find matching elements in the array. Arrays created with the
348 optional hash function can often find elements with a single lookup. The
349 <a href='#cups_array_t'><code>cups_array_t</code></a> type is used when
350 referring to a CUPS array.</p>
351
352 <p>The CUPS scheduler (<tt>cupsd</tt>) and many of the CUPS API
353 functions use the array API to efficiently manage large lists of
354 data.</p>
355
356 <h3><a name='MANAGING_ARRAYS'>Managing Arrays</a></h3>
357
358 <p>Arrays are created using either the
359 <a href='#cupsArrayNew'><code>cupsArrayNew</code></a> or
360 <a href='#cupsArrayNew2'><code>cupsArrayNew2</code></a> functions. The
361 first function creates a new array with the specified callback function
362 and user data pointer:</p>
363
364 <pre class='example'>
365 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
366
367 static int compare_func(void *first, void *second, void *user_data);
368
369 void *user_data;
370 <a href='#cups_array_t'>cups_array_t</a> *array = <a href='#cupsArrayNew'>cupsArrayNew</a>(compare_func, user_data);
371 </pre>
372
373 <p>The comparison function (type
374 <a href="#cups_arrayfunc_t"><code>cups_arrayfunc_t</code></a>) is called
375 whenever an element is added to the array and can be <code>NULL</code> to
376 create an unsorted array. The function returns -1 if the first element should
377 come before the second, 0 if the first and second elements should have the same
378 ordering, and 1 if the first element should come after the second.</p>
379
380 <p>The "user_data" pointer is passed to your comparison function. Pass
381 <code>NULL</code> if you do not need to associate the elements in your array
382 with additional information.</p>
383
384 <p>The <a href='#cupsArrayNew2'><code>cupsArrayNew2</code></a> function adds
385 two more arguments to support hashed lookups, which can potentially provide
386 instantaneous ("O(1)") lookups in your array:</p>
387
388 <pre class='example'>
389 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
390
391 #define HASH_SIZE 512 /* Size of hash table */
392
393 static int compare_func(void *first, void *second, void *user_data);
394 static int hash_func(void *element, void *user_data);
395
396 void *user_data;
397 <a href='#cups_array_t'>cups_array_t</a> *array = <a href='#cupsArrayNew2'>cupsArrayNew2</a>(compare_func, user_data, hash_func, HASH_SIZE);
398 </pre>
399
400 <p>The hash function (type
401 <a href="#cups_ahash_func_t"><code>cups_ahash_func_t</code></a>) returns a
402 number from 0 to (hash_size-1) that (hopefully) uniquely identifies the
403 element and is called whenever you look up an element in the array with
404 <a href='#cupsArrayFind'><code>cupsArrayFind</code></a>. The hash size is
405 only limited by available memory, but generally should not be larger than
406 16384 to realize any performance improvement.</p>
407
408 <p>Once you have created the array, you add elements using the
409 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'><code>cupsArrayAdd</code></a>
410 <a href='#cupsArrayInsert'><code>cupsArrayInsert</code></a> functions.
411 The first function adds an element to the array, adding the new element
412 after any elements that have the same order, while the second inserts the
413 element before others with the same order. For unsorted arrays,
414 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'><code>cupsArrayAdd</code></a> appends the elemnt to
415 the end of the array while
416 <a href='#cupsArrayInsert'><code>cupsArrayInsert</code></a> inserts the
417 element at the beginning of the array. For example, the following code
418 creates a sorted array of character strings:</p>
419
420 <pre class='example'>
421 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
422
423 /* Use strcmp() to compare strings - it will ignore the user_data pointer */
424 <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);
425
426 /* Add four strings to the array */
427 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "One Fish");
428 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Two Fish");
429 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Red Fish");
430 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Blue Fish");
431 </pre>
432
433 <p>Elements are removed using the
434 <a href='#cupsArrayRemove'><code>cupsArrayRemove</code></a> function, for
435 example:</p>
436
437 <pre class='example'>
438 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
439
440 /* Use strcmp() to compare strings - it will ignore the user_data pointer */
441 <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);
442
443 /* Add four strings to the array */
444 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "One Fish");
445 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Two Fish");
446 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Red Fish");
447 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Blue Fish");
448
449 /* Remove "Red Fish" */
450 <a href='#cupsArrayRemove'>cupsArrayRemove</a>(array, "Red Fish");
451 </pre>
452
453 <p>Finally, you free the memory used by the array using the
454 <a href='#cupsArrayDelete'><code>cupsArrayDelete</code></a> function. All
455 of the memory for the array and hash table (if any) is freed, however <em>CUPS
456 does not free the elements</em> - if necessary, you must allocate and free the
457 elements yourself.</p>
458
459 <h3><a name='FINDING_AND_ENUMERATING'>Finding and Enumerating Elements</a></h3>
460
461 <p>CUPS provides several functions to find and enumerate elements in an
462 array. Each one sets or updates a "current index" into the array, such that
463 future lookups will start where the last one left off:</p>
464
465 <dl>
466 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayFind'><code>cupsArrayFind</code></a></dt>
467 <dd>Returns the first matching element .</dd>
468 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayFirst'><code>cupsArrayFirst</code></a></dt>
469 <dd>Returns the first element in the array.</dd>
470 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayIndex'><code>cupsArrayIndex</code></a></dt>
471 <dd>Returns the Nth element in the array.</dd>
472 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayLast'><code>cupsArrayLast</code></a></dt>
473 <dd>Returns the last element in the array.</dd>
474 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayNext'><code>cupsArrayNext</code></a></dt>
475 <dd>Returns the next element in the array.</dd>
476 <dt><a href='#cupsArrayPrev'><code>cupsArrayPrev</code></a></dt>
477 <dd>Returns the previous element in the array.</dd>
478 </dl>
479
480 <p>Each of these functions returns <code>NULL</code> when there is no
481 corresponding element. For example, a simple <code>for</code> loop using the
482 <a href='#cupsArrayFirst'><code>cupsArrayFirst</code></a> and
483 <a href='#cupsArrayNext'><code>cupsArrayNext</code></a> functions will
484 enumerate all of the strings in our previous example:</p>
485
486 <pre class='example'>
487 #include &lt;cups/array.h&gt;
488
489 /* Use strcmp() to compare strings - it will ignore the user_data pointer */
490 <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);
491
492 /* Add four strings to the array */
493 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "One Fish");
494 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Two Fish");
495 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Red Fish");
496 <a href='#cupsArrayAdd'>cupsArrayAdd</a>(array, "Blue Fish");
497
498 /* Show all of the strings in the array */
499 char *s;
500 for (s = (char *)<a href='#cupsArrayFirst'>cupsArrayFirst</a>(array); s != NULL; s = (char *)<a href='#cupsArrayNext'>cupsArrayNext</a>(array))
501 puts(s);
