use core::fmt::Debug;
use dyn_list::DynList;

let mut list = DynList::<dyn Debug>::new();

list.push_back_unsize("Hello, World");
list.push_back_unsize(0);
list.push_back_unsize([1, 2, 3, 4]);

println!("{list:?}"); // ["Hello, World!", 0, [1, 2, 3, 4]]

This crate currently only works on the nightly channel.

How Does it Work?

Each node has a header, containing pointers to the previous and next nodes as well as metadata for the data. This uses the dynode library, which provides a framework for working with the nodes. For Sized types, this works exactly like a regular linked list.

Features

• alloc - Adds features that require the alloc crate. This includes operations specific to the Global allocator and sets it as the default allocator in generics.
• std (requires alloc, default) - Adds features that require the std crate. Currently, this adds nothing, but disabling it enables the no_std attribute.

TODO

This library is still in development and breaking changes may occur.

• Comment unsafe blocks.
• Add tests.
