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