It also provides some useful tools like * opening shared libraries, errors management, type conversion, * time accounting and memory pool. * * This library is cross-platform and can be compiled and used on * Linux, BSD, Opensolaris and Windows (XP and CE). * * The data types that are available are (see @ref Eina_Data_Types_Group): * @li @ref Eina_Inline_Array_Group standard array of inlined members. * @li @ref Eina_Array_Group standard array of @c void* data. * @li @ref Eina_Hash_Group standard hash of @c void* data. * @li @ref Eina_Inline_List_Group list with nodes inlined into user type. * @li @ref Eina_CList_Group Compact List. * @li @ref Eina_List_Group standard list of @c void* data. * @li @ref Eina_Iterator_Group Iterator functions. * @li @ref Eina_Matrixsparse_Group sparse matrix of @c void* data. * @li @ref Eina_Rbtree_Group red-black tree with nodes inlined into user type. * @li @ref Eina_String_Buffer_Group mutable string to prepend, insert or append strings to a buffer. * @li @ref Eina_Stringshare_Group saves memory by sharing read-only string references. * @li @ref Eina_Tiler_Group split, merge and navigates into 2D tiled regions. * @li @ref Eina_Trash_Group container of unused but allocated data. * @li @ref Eina_Value_Group container for generic value storage and access. * @li @ref Eina_Model_Group container for data with user defined hierarchy/structure. * * The tools that are available are (see @ref Eina_Tools_Group): * @li @ref Eina_Benchmark_Group helper to write benchmarks. * @li @ref Eina_Convert_Group faster conversion from strings to integers, double, etc. * @li @ref Eina_Counter_Group measures number of calls and their time. * @li @ref Eina_Error_Group error identifiers. * @li @ref Eina_File_Group simple file list and path split. * @li @ref Eina_Lalloc_Group simple lazy allocator. * @li @ref Eina_Log_Group full-featured logging system. * @li @ref Eina_Magic_Group provides runtime type checking. * @li @ref Eina_Memory_Pool_Group abstraction for various memory allocators. * @li @ref Eina_Module_Group lists, loads and share modules using Eina_Module standard. * @li @ref Eina_Rectangle_Group rectangle structure and standard manipulation methods. * @li @ref Eina_Safety_Checks_Group extra checks that will report unexpected conditions and can be disabled at compile time. * @li @ref Eina_String_Group a set of functions that manages C strings. * * Please see the @ref authors page for contact details. * * @defgroup Eina_Data_Types_Group Data Types * * Eina provide easy to use and optimized data types and structures. * * * @defgroup Eina_Containers_Group Containers * * @section Intro Introduction * Containers are data types that hold data and allow iteration over * their elements with an @ref Eina_Iterator_Group, or eventually an * @ref Eina_Accessor_Group. * * The containers in eina are designed with performance in mind, one consequence * of this is that they @b don't check the validity of data structures given to * them(@ref Eina_Magic_Group). * * @section Choice Choosing container type * * The choice of which container to use in each situation is very important in * achieving good performance and readable code. The most common container types * to be used are: * @li List * @li Inline list * @li Array * @li Inline array * @li Hash * * All types have virtues and vices. The following considerations are good * starting point in deciding which container to use: * @li Hashes are appropriate for datasets which will be searched often; * @li arrays are good when accessing members by position; * @li lists provide good versatility for adding elements in any position with * minimal overhead; * @li inline arrays use very little memory and don't cause fragmentation and * therefore are a good option in memory constrained systems; * @li inline lists are the appropriate type to use when the flexibility of a * list is required but the overhead of pointer indirection is not acceptable. * @warning These are general considerations, every situation is different, * don't follow these recommendations blindly. * * @section Creation Creating custom container types * * @note Before creating a custom container check if one of the existing ones * doesn't suit your needs. For example, while there is no stack type @ref * Eina_Array_Group is a very good substitute, similarly there is no queue type * however an @ref Eina_List_Group works very well as a queue. * * If creating a custom container type consider allowing access to the data in * your container through @ref Eina_Iterator_Group "Iterators" and @ref * Eina_Accessor_Group "Accessors". To do so your container should have an * iterator creation function and an accessor creation function, these functions * should return properly populated @ref _Eina_Iterator and @ref _Eina_Accessor. * * @defgroup Eina_Tools_Group Tools * * Eina tools aims to help application development, providing ways to * make it safer, log errors, manage memory more efficiently and more. * */ /** * * @page authors Authors * * @author Albin "Lutin" Tonnerre * @author Alexandre "diaxen" Becoulet * @author Andre Dieb * @author Arnaud de Turckheim "quarium" * @author Carsten Haitzler * @author Cedric Bail * @author Corey "atmos" Donohoe * @author Vincent "caro" Torri * @author Fabiano FidĂȘncio * @author Gustavo Chaves * @author Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri * @author Jorge Luis "turran" Zapata * @author Tilman Sauerbeck * @author Peter "pfritz" Wehrfritz * @author Raphael Kubo da Costa * @author Tom Hacohen * @author Brett Nash * @author Sebastian Dransfeld * @author Myungjae Lee * @author Youness Alaoui * @author Boris "billiob" Faure * @author Sung W.
