Description
A class template for a list of nodes which store the links inside themselves as intrusive nodes.
- Template Parameters
T Type of object that includes the intrusive node. N Type of intrusive node with the next & previous links. MP Name of the intrusive node member in object T. L Type of the links node (one of double_list_links
orstatic_double_list_links
).U Type stored in the list, derived from T.
This class implements an intrusive doubly linked list, where each object stores its own link node as a member. The list maintains a pair of head and tail pointers, allowing efficient insertion, removal, and iteration. The intrusive approach eliminates the need for separate node allocations, as the links are embedded within the objects themselves.
The template parameter MP
specifies the member pointer to the intrusive node within the object, enabling the list to compute the address of the parent object from the node pointer. This design supports both regular and statically allocated lists, depending on the type used for L
.
Iterators provide access to the objects in the list, supporting bidirectional traversal.
- Example
For statically allocated lists, set L=static_double_list_links.

Public Constructors
intrusive_list()
| constexpr |
Construct an intrusive doubly linked list.
The default constructor for intrusive_list
creates an empty intrusive list. No initialisation of internal pointers is performed here; for statically allocated lists, the pointers are expected to be zero-initialised by the runtime, while for dynamically allocated lists, initialisation is handled by the base class or explicit methods.
- The rule of five
The copy constructor, move constructor, copy assignment operator, and move assignment operator are explicitly deleted to prevent accidental copying or moving of intrusive_list objects. This ensures the integrity of the list structure, as duplicating or moving lists could result in invalid or inconsistent links within the list.
Declaration at line 1188 of file lists.h, definition at line 961 of file lists-inlines.h.
intrusive_list()
| delete |
Deleted copy constructor.
Copying of intrusive_list
instances is explicitly disallowed to prevent accidental duplication, which could compromise the integrity of the list structure.
intrusive_list()
| delete |
Deleted move constructor.
Moving of intrusive_list
instances is explicitly disallowed to avoid invalid or inconsistent links within the list that could result from moving lists.
Public Destructor
~intrusive_list()
| constexpr |
Destruct the list.
The destructor for intrusive_list
does not perform any cleanup or pointer manipulation. List management and node unlinking are handled elsewhere, so the destructor is intentionally left empty to avoid unnecessary writes or side effects during object destruction.
Declaration at line 1238 of file lists.h, definition at line 973 of file lists-inlines.h.
Public Member Functions
begin()
| inline |
Iterator begin.
- Returns
An iterator positioned at the first element.
Returns an iterator to the first element in the intrusive list. The iterator points to the node after the internal links node (the head). For statically allocated lists, the initialisation check is handled by the links class. If the list is empty, the iterator will compare equal to end()
.
Declaration at line 1311 of file lists.h, definition at line 1076 of file lists-inlines.h.
clear()
|
Clear the list.
- Parameters
None.
- Returns
Nothing.
The clear()
method initialises the mandatory internal links node so that both its previous_
and next_
pointers refer to itself. This marks the list as empty and ensures it is in a safe, known state, ready for new insertions. This operation is typically used to reset the list, removing all elements and breaking any existing links.
Declaration at line 816 of file lists.h, definition at line 601 of file lists-inlines.h.
empty()
| constexpr |
Check if the list is empty.
- Parameters
None.
- Return Values
true The list has no nodes. false The list has at least one node.
Checks whether the intrusive list contains any nodes. This method delegates to the underlying double list implementation to determine if the list is empty. The list is considered empty if there are no elements linked.
Declaration at line 1261 of file lists.h, definition at line 1004 of file lists-inlines.h.
end()
| inline |
Iterator begin.
- Returns
An iterator positioned after the last element.
Returns an iterator to the position after the last element in the intrusive list (the end iterator). This iterator points to the internal links node, which acts as a sentinel. It is used as the past-the-end marker in iteration and comparison operations. The end iterator does not reference any valid list element.
Declaration at line 1319 of file lists.h, definition at line 1094 of file lists-inlines.h.
head()
| constexpr |
Get the list head.
- Parameters
None.
- Returns
Pointer to the head node.
Returns a pointer to the first node in the list. If the list is empty, this will point to the internal links node itself, which can be used to detect the end of the list during iteration. The returned pointer should be checked against end()
or the sentinel node to determine if the list contains any elements.
Declaration at line 826 of file lists.h, definition at line 619 of file lists-inlines.h.
initialize_once()
|
Initialize the list only at first run.
- Parameters
None.
- Returns
Nothing.
If the statically allocated list is still in the initial uninitialised state (with both pointers null), this method initialises the list to the empty state, with both pointers pointing to itself. For non-statically initialised lists, this method has no effect.
Must be manually called for statically allocated lists before inserting elements or performing any other operations.
Declaration at line 1250 of file lists.h, definition at line 990 of file lists-inlines.h.
link_head()
|
Add a node to the head of the list.
- Parameters
[in] node Reference to a list node.
- Returns
Nothing.
Adds a new node to the beginning (head) of the intrusive list. The offset of the intrusive node member within the containing object is computed, and the node is linked before the current head node. This operation does not check for duplicate nodes or whether the node is already linked elsewhere. For statically allocated lists, the initialisation check is handled by the links class.
Declaration at line 1281 of file lists.h, definition at line 1046 of file lists-inlines.h.
link_tail()
|
Add a node to the tail of the list.
- Parameters
[in] node Reference to a list node.
- Returns
Nothing.
Adds a new node to the end (tail) of the intrusive list. The offset of the intrusive node member within the containing object is computed, and the node is linked after the current tail node. This operation does not check for duplicate nodes or whether the node is already linked elsewhere. For statically allocated lists, the initialisation check is handled by the links class.
Declaration at line 1271 of file lists.h, definition at line 1020 of file lists-inlines.h.

| inlineconstexpr |
operator=()

operator=()
| delete |
tail()
| constexpr |
Get the list tail.
- Parameters
None.
- Returns
Pointer to the tail node.
Returns a pointer to the last node in the list. If the list is empty, this will point to the internal links node itself, which can be used to detect the end of the list during reverse iteration. The returned pointer should be checked against the sentinel node to determine if the list contains any elements.
Declaration at line 836 of file lists.h, definition at line 634 of file lists-inlines.h.
uninitialized()
|
Check if the list is uninitialised (only statically allocated lists can be uninitialised).
- Parameters
None.
- Return Values
true The list was not initialised. false The list was initialised.
An uninitialized node is a node with any of the pointers set to nullptr
. Only statically allocated nodes in the initial state are considered uninitialized. For dynamically allocated lists, this method always returns false
since their nodes are explicitly initialized during construction.
Declaration at line 783 of file lists.h, definition at line 542 of file lists-inlines.h.
unlink_head()
|
Unlink the first element from the list.
- Parameters
None.
- Returns
Pointer to the first element in the list.
Removes and unlinks the first element from the intrusive list. If the list is empty, this operation is a no-op and returns a pointer to the internal links node. The method unlinks the node at the head of the list and returns a pointer to the parent object containing the unlinked node.
Declaration at line 1301 of file lists.h, definition at line 1145 of file lists-inlines.h.
unlink_tail()
|
Unlink the last element from the list.
- Parameters
None.
- Returns
Pointer to the last element in the list.
Removes and unlinks the last element from the intrusive list. If the list is empty, this operation is a no-op and returns a pointer to the internal links node. The method unlinks the node at the tail of the list and returns a pointer to the parent object containing the unlinked node.
Declaration at line 1291 of file lists.h, definition at line 1167 of file lists-inlines.h.
Protected Member Functions
get_pointer()
| inlineprotected |
Get the address of the object from the intrusive node pointer.
- Parameters
node Pointer to the intrusive node.
- Returns
A pointer to the parent object containing the node.
Computes and returns a pointer to the parent object that contains the intrusive node referenced by the given node pointer. This is achieved by calculating the offset of the intrusive node member within the parent object type and subtracting it from the node's address. This allows retrieval of the full object from just the node pointer, enabling intrusive list traversal and manipulation.
Declaration at line 1330 of file lists.h, definition at line 1119 of file lists-inlines.h.
Protected Member Attributes
links_
| protected |
The list top node used to point to head and tail nodes.
This member stores the internal links node for the list. The next pointer of this node points to the head of the list, and the previous pointer points to the tail. For an empty list, both pointers refer to the node itself, simplifying list management and boundary checks.
