8 * define_commit_slab(slabname, elemtype) creates boilerplate code to define
9 * a new struct (struct slabname) that is used to associate a piece of data
10 * of elemtype to commits, and a few functions to use that struct.
12 * After including this header file, using:
14 * define_commit_slab(indegree, int);
16 * will let you call the following functions:
18 * - int *indegree_at(struct indegree *, struct commit *);
20 * This function locates the data associated with the given commit in
21 * the indegree slab, and returns the pointer to it. The location to
22 * store the data is allocated as necessary.
24 * - int *indegree_peek(struct indegree *, struct commit *);
26 * This function is similar to indegree_at(), but it will return NULL
27 * if the location to store the data associated with the given commit
28 * has not been allocated yet.
29 * Note that the location to store the data might have already been
30 * allocated even if no indegree_at() call has been made for that commit
31 * yet; in this case this function returns a pointer to a
32 * zero-initialized location.
34 * - void init_indegree(struct indegree *);
35 * void init_indegree_with_stride(struct indegree *, int);
37 * Initializes the indegree slab that associates an array of integers
38 * to each commit. 'stride' specifies how big each array is. The slab
39 * that is initialized by the variant without "_with_stride" associates
40 * each commit with an array of one integer.
42 * - void clear_indegree(struct indegree *);
44 * Empties the slab. The slab can be reused with the same stride
45 * without calling init_indegree() again or can be reconfigured to a
46 * different stride by calling init_indegree_with_stride().
48 * Call this function before the slab falls out of scope to avoid
49 * leaking memory.
51 * - void deep_clear_indegree(struct indegree *, void (*free_fn)(int*))
53 * Empties the slab, similar to clear_indegree(), but in addition it
54 * calls the given 'free_fn' for each slab entry to release any
55 * additional memory that might be owned by the entry (but not the
56 * entry itself!).
57 * Note that 'free_fn' might be called even for entries for which no
58 * indegree_at() call has been made; in this case 'free_fn' is invoked
59 * with a pointer to a zero-initialized location.
