4 The oid-array API provides storage and manipulation of sets of object
5 identifiers. The emphasis is on storage and processing efficiency,
6 making them suitable for large lists. Note that the ordering of items is
7 not preserved over some operations.
14 A single array of object IDs. This should be initialized by
15 assignment from `OID_ARRAY_INIT`. The `oid` member contains
16 the actual data. The `nr` member contains the number of items in
17 the set. The `alloc` and `sorted` members are used internally,
18 and should not be needed by API callers.
24 Add an item to the set. The object ID will be placed at the end of
25 the array (but note that some operations below may lose this
29 Perform a binary search of the array for a specific object ID.
30 If found, returns the offset (in number of elements) of the
31 object ID. If not found, returns a negative integer. If the array
32 is not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting it.
35 Free all memory associated with the array and return it to the
38 `oid_array_for_each`::
39 Iterate over each element of the list, executing the callback
40 function for each one. Does not sort the list, so any custom
41 hash order is retained. If the callback returns a non-zero
42 value, the iteration ends immediately and the callback's
43 return is propagated; otherwise, 0 is returned.
45 `oid_array_for_each_unique`::
46 Iterate over each unique element of the list in sorted order,
47 but otherwise behave like `oid_array_for_each`. If the array
48 is not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting
52 Apply the callback function `want` to each entry in the array,
53 retaining only the entries for which the function returns true.
54 Preserve the order of the entries that are retained.

85 * Instead, this will sort once and then skip duplicates
