DESCRIPTION
rbtree provides red-black trees. A red-black tree is a binary search tree with the node color as an extra attribute. It fulfills a set of conditions:
-
Every search path from the root to a leaf consists of the same number of black nodes.
-
Each red node (except for the root) has a black parent.
-
Each leaf node is black.
Every operation on a red-black tree is bounded as O(lg n). The maximum height of a red-black tree is 2lg (n+1).
TYPES
-
rb_tree_t
-
A red-black tree.
-
typedef signed int (*const rbto_compare_nodes_fn)(void *, const void *, const void *);
-
The node-comparison operator. Defines an ordering on nodes. Returns a negative value if the first node precedes the second node. Returns a positive value if the first node follows the second node. Returns 0 if the first node and the second are identical according to the ordering.
-
typedef signed int (*const rbto_compare_key_fn)(void *, const void *, const void *);
-
The node-key comparison operator. Defines the order of nodes and keys. Returns a negative value if the node precedes the key. Returns a positive value if the node follows the key. Returns 0 if the node is identical to the key according to the ordering.
-
rb_tree_ops_t
-
Defines the operator for comparing two nodes in the same tree, the operator for comparing a node in the tree with a key, the offset of member rb_node_t within a node, and the opaque context passed to the operators. Members of rb_tree_ops_t are
rbto_compare_nodes_fn rbto_compare_nodes;
rbto_compare_key_fn rbto_compare_key;
size_t rbto_node_offset;
void *rbto_context;
-
rb_node_t
-
A node in a red-black tree has this structure as a member.
FUNCTIONS
-
rb_tree_init(rbt, ops)
-
Initialize the red-black tree rbt. Let the comparison operators given by ops define the order of nodes in the tree for the purposes of insertion, search, and iteration. rb_tree_init() always succeeds.
-
rb_tree_insert_node(rbt, rb)
-
Insert the node rb into the tree rbt. Return inserted node on success, already existing node on failure.
-
rb_tree_remove_node(rbt, rb)
-
Remove the node rb from the tree rbt.
-
rb_tree_find_node(rbt, key)
-
Search the tree rbt for a node exactly matching key. If no such node is in the tree, return NULL. Otherwise, return the matching node.
-
rb_tree_find_node_geq(rbt, key)
-
Search the tree rbt for a node that exactly matches key and return it. If no such node is present, return the first node following key or, if no such node is in the tree, return NULL.
-
rb_tree_find_node_leq(rbt, key)
-
Search the tree rbt for a node that exactly matches key and return it. If no such node is present, return the first node preceding key or, if no such node is in the tree, return NULL.
-
rb_tree_iterate(rbt, rb, direction)
-
If direction is RB_DIR_LEFT, return the node in the tree rbt immediately preceding the node rb or, if rb is NULL, return the last node in rbt or, if the tree is empty, return NULL.
If direction is RB_DIR_RIGHT, return the node in the tree rbt immediately following the node rb or, if rb is NULL, return the first node in rbt or, if the tree is empty, return NULL.
CODE REFERENCES
The rbtree interface is implemented in common/lib/libc/gen/rb.c.
HISTORY
The rbtree interface first appeared in NetBSD 6.0.
