Detailed Description

template <typename T ,
uint64_t Capacity>
class iox::cxx::forward_list;

C++11 compatible uni-directional forward list implementation.

Adjustments in the API were done to not use exceptions and serve the requirement of a data structure movable over shared memory. attempt to add elements to a full list will be ignored. Capacity must at least be 1, (unintended) negative initialization is rejected with compile assertion limitation: concurrency concerns have to be handled by client side.

overview of cxx::forward_list deviations to std::forward_list(C++11)

• list declaration with mandatory max list size argument
• member functions don't throw exception but will trigger different failure handling
• push_front returns a bool (instead of void) informing on successful insertion (true)
• pop_front returns a bool (instead of void) informing on successful removal (true), otherwise empty (false)
• emplace_front returns a reference to the inserted element (instead of void), this is C++17-conform
• remove / remove_if returns a the number of removed elements (instead of void), this is C++20-conform

(yet) missing implementations

• allocator, difference_type based operations
• assign, resize, swap, merge, splice_after, reverse, unique, sort
• list operator==, operator!=, operator<, operator<=, operator>, operator>= Ttype user data to be managed within list

Capacitynumber of maximum list elements a client can push to the list. minimum value is '1'
