34 -- This package provides facilities for manipulating lists of nodes (see
35 -- package Atree for format and implementation of tree nodes). Separate list
36 -- elements are allocated to represent elements of these lists, so it is
37 -- possible for a given node to be on more than one element list at a time.
38 -- See also package Nlists, which provides another form that is threaded
39 -- through the nodes themselves (using the Link field), which is more time
40 -- and space efficient, but a node can be only one such list.

43 with System;
45 package Elists is
47 -- An element list is represented by a header that is allocated in the
48 -- Elist header table. This header contains pointers to the first and
49 -- last elements in the list, or to No_Elmt if the list is empty.
51 -- The elements in the list each contain a pointer to the next element
52 -- and a pointer to the referenced node. Putting a node into an element
53 -- list causes no change at all to the node itself, so a node may be
54 -- included in multiple element lists, and the nodes thus included may
55 -- or may not be elements of node lists (see package Nlists).
