linked_list_c

This is a Rust crate with the goal of making C style linked lists easier to work with.

Some FFIs accept and/or return linked lists, requiring pointer wrangling and unsafe code to handle. This crate tries to take care of those ugly bits for you, and provide a safe and ergonomic interface instead

Features

• Easily create Lists that can be passed to C FFIs
• Safely iterate over a linked list received from a C FFI
• handles cleaning up List on drop
  • can set a custom drop function if Drop, or libc::free() doesn't work for you
• extremely simple trait is all thats neccessary to use with your favorite struct
  • just add #[derive(LlItem)] if yourStruct.next points to the next yourStruct
  • or use the impl_LlItem!([yourStruct, ...]) macro
• Zero copy and minimal extra memory footprint (besides from<Vec> impl)
• currently not quite no_std, but this could easily be made possible
