procedure Alloc (List : out Glist)
Allocate a new item in the list. This item isn't associated with any data. You probably don't have to use this subprogram, since Append, Insert, Prepend, etc. already handle the allocation for you and give a new value to the item.
procedure Append (List : in out Glist; Data : Gpointer)
Add a new item at the end of the list, and stores the new list directly back in List. The complexity of this operation is O(n)
function Concat (List1 : Glist; List2 : Glist) return Glist
Concatenate two lists, and return the result. List2 is added at the end of List1. The complexity is O(n1) (depends on the size of List1).
function Convert (P : Gpointer) return System.Address
function Convert (P : Gpointer) return System.Address
function Find (List : Glist; Data : Gpointer) return Glist
Find a value in the list, and return the first item that contains it. Note that this function will not work if the function Convert does not return the same value for two identical values.
function First (List : Glist) return Glist
Return the first item in the list. Note that if List is in fact an item of a larger list, the return value is the first item in the larger list itself.
procedure Free (List : in out Glist)
Free the list (but does not free the data in each of its elements). This only frees the memory associated with the list itself. You should only use this function on the lists that you have created yourself, not on the list that are returned by some functions in GtkAda (like Gtk.Clist.Get_Selection). These functions return directly the list managed by the underlying C widget, and you should never free the result yourself.
Note also that the memory might not be actually freed. For efficiency reasons, GtkAda will keep the memory allocated and try to reuse it as much as possible.
function Get_Data (List : Glist) return Gpointer
Return the value pointed to by List. The System.Address container in the C list is converted to a Gpointer through a call to Convert.
function Get_Data_Address (List : Glist) return System.Address
Return directly the System.Address contained in the C list. This is used mainly internally in GtkAda to implement String lists, and you should not have to use this subprogram yourself.
function Get_Gpointer (List : Glist) return Gpointer
Sometimes, the data is not stored in the "data" field of each cell, but rather at each cell. In such cases, to retrieve the address of the data, we need to return the address of the cell itself, insted of the address pointed to by data.
Ex: the Gtk_Ctree row_list. </doc_ignore>
function Get_Object (Obj : Glist) return System.Address
Returns the C object contained in Obj.
type Glist is private;
This type is both a list and an item in the list. Each item points to its successor.
type Gpointer (<>) is private;
function Index (List : Glist; Data : Gpointer) return Gint
Return the index of the first element in List that contains Data. Note that this function is irrelevant if Convert does not return the same value for two identical data.
procedure Insert
(List : in out Glist;
Data : Gpointer;
Position : Gint)
Insert an item in the middle of a list. If Position is 0, the item is added at the beginning of the list, if it is negative the item is added at the end. The complexity is O(Position).
function Is_Created (List : Glist) return Boolean
Return True if there is a C widget associated with List.
function Last (List : Glist) return Glist
Return the last element in the list.
function Length (List : Glist) return Guint
Return the number of elements in the list. The last item's index is Length - 1.
procedure List_Reverse (List : in out Glist)
Reverse the order of the list (the last item becomes the first, etc.)
function Next (List : Glist) return Glist
Returns the Item following List in the global list that contains both. If there is no such item, return Null_List. This is how you stop iterating over a list.
function Nth (List : Glist; N : Guint) return Glist
Give the nth item following LIST in the global list that contains both. If there is no such item, return Null_List.
function Nth_Data (List : Glist; N : Guint) return Gpointer
Return the Data contained in the N-th item of List. The result is undefined if there is no such item in the list. The actual result in that case is the result of Convert (System.Null_Address); which might not mean anything.
Null_List : constant Glist;
function Position (List : Glist; Link : Glist) return Gint
Return the position of Link in the List. If Link is not contained in the list, -1 is returned.
procedure Prepend (List : in out Glist; Data : Gpointer)
Add an item at the beginning of the list. This operation always succeed.
function Prev (List : Glist) return Glist
Return the item before List in the global list that contains both. Return Null_List if there is no such item.
procedure Remove (List : in out Glist; Data : Gpointer)
Remove the first item in List that contains Data. Note that this operation can succeed only if Convert always return the same address for a given value.
procedure Remove_Link (List : in out Glist; Link : Glist)
Remove Link from the list to which it belongs. If that list is not List, no error is returned, but Link is removed anyway.
procedure Set_Object (Obj : in out Glist; Value : System.Address)
Modifies the C object contained in Obj.
