## Detailed Description

### template<class T>
class ACE_Intrusive_List< T >

Implement an intrusive double linked list.

Intrusive lists assume that the elements they contain the pointers required to build the list. They are useful as light-weight containers and free-lists.

The template argument T must implement the following methods:

- T* T::next () const;
- void T::next (T *);
- T* T::prev () const;
- void T::prev (T* );

A simple way to satisfy the Intrusive_List requirements would be to implement a helper class:

class My_Object : public ACE_Intrusive_List_Node<My_Object> {
....
};

typedef ACE_Intrusive_List<My_Object> My_Object_List;

However, ACE is supported on platforms that would surely get confused using such templates.

Todo:
  The ACE_Message_Queue is an example of an intrusive list (or queue) but it is not implemented in terms of this class.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T>
ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::ACE_Intrusive_List | ( | void |  | ) |

| Constructor. Use user specified allocation strategy if specified.

template<class T>
ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::~ACE_Intrusive_List | ( | void |  | ) |

| Destructor.

template<class T>
ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::ACE_Intrusive_List | ( | const ACE_Intrusive_List< T > & |  | ) | `[private]`

## Member Function Documentation

template<class T>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::empty | ( | void |  | ) | const

| Returns 1 if the container is empty, otherwise returns 0.

template<class T>
ACE_INLINE T * ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::head | ( | void |  | ) | const

| Get the element at the head of the queue.

template<class T>
ACE_Intrusive_List<T>& ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::operator= | ( | const ACE_Intrusive_List< T > & |  | ) | `[private]`

template<class T>
T * ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::pop_back | ( | void |  | ) |

| Remove the element at the end of the list.

template<class T>
T * ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::pop_front | ( | void |  | ) |

| Remove the element at the beginning of the list.

template<class T>
void ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::push_back | ( | T * | node | ) |

| Insert an element at the end of the list.

template<class T>
void ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::push_front | ( | T * | node | ) |

| Insert an element at the beginning of the list.

template<class T>
void ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::remove | ( | T * | node | ) |

| Remove a element from the list. Verify that the element is still in the list before removing it.

template<class T>
void ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::remove_i | ( | T * | node | ) | `[private]`

| Remove a element from the list. No attempts are performed to check if T* really belongs to the list. The effects of removing an invalid element are unspecified

template<class T>
ACE_INLINE T * ACE_Intrusive_List< T >::tail | ( | void |  | ) | const

| Get the element at the tail of the queue.
