 * @dontinclude eina_inlist_01.c
 *
 * To see the full source for this example, click here: @ref
 * eina_inlist_01_c
 *
 * As explained before, inline lists mean its nodes pointers are part of same
 * memory block/blob. This is done by using the macro @ref EINA_INLIST inside the
 * data structure that will be used:
 *
 * @skip struct
 * @until };
 *
 * The resulting node representing this struct can be exemplified by the
 * following picture:
 *
 * @image html eina_inlist-node_eg1-my-struct.png
 * @image rtf eina_inlist-node_eg1-my-struct.png
 * @image latex eina_inlist-node_eg1-my-struct.eps
 *
 * Let's define a comparison function that will be used later during the
 * sorting of the list:
 *
 * @skip int
 * @until }
 *
 * The @ref Eina_Inlist can be used exactly the same way as @ref Eina_List when
 * appending, prepending and removing items. But since we already have the node
 * pointers inside the structure, they need to be retrieved with the macro @ref
 * EINA_INLIST_GET :
 *
 * @skip malloc
 * @until append
 *
 * Notice that @ref eina_inlist_append always receives the head of the list as
 * first argument, and its return value should be used as the list pointer
 * (head):
 *
 * @skip malloc
 * @until append
 *
 * After appending 3 items, the list now should look similar to this:
 *
 * @image html eina_inlist-node_eg1-inlist.png
 * @image rtf eina_inlist-node_eg1-inlist.png
 * @image latex eina_inlist-node_eg1-inlist.eps width=\textwidth
 *
 * The macro @ref EINA_INLIST_FOREACH can be used to iterate over the list:
 *
 * @skip printf
 * @until cur->a
 *
 * @ref eina_inlist_promote(), @ref eina_inlist_demote(), @ref
 * eina_inlist_append_relative() and similar functions all work in the same way
 * as the @ref Eina_List :
 *
 * @skip eina_inlist_promote
 * @until eina_inlist_demote
 *
 * Now let's use the @c sort_cb function declared above to sort our list:
 *
 * @skipline eina_inlist_sort
 *
 * Removing an element from the inlist is also similar to @ref Eina_List :
 *
 * @skip inlist_remove
 * @until free
 *
 * Another way of walking through the inlist.
 *
 * @skip for
 * @until }
 *
 * Notice that in the previous piece of code, since we only have the pointers to
 * the inlist nodes, we have to use the @ref EINA_INLIST_CONTAINER_GET macro
 * that will return the pointer to the entire structure. Of course, in this case
 * it is the same as the list pointer, since the @ref EINA_INLIST macro was used
 * in the beginning of the structure.
 *
 * Now to finish this example, lets delete this list:
 *
 * @skip while
 * @until }

/**
 * @page eina_inlist_02_example_page Eina_Inlist advanced usage - lists and inlists
 * @dontinclude eina_inlist_02.c
 *
 * This example describes the usage of @ref Eina_Inlist mixed with @ref
 * Eina_List . We create and add elements to an inlist, and the even members
 * are also added to a normal list. Later we remove the elements divisible by 3
 * from this normal list.
 *
 * The struct that is going to be used is the same used in @ref
 * eina_inlist_01_example_page , since we still need the @ref EINA_INLIST macro to
 * declare the inlist node info:
 *
 * @skip struct
 * @until };
 *
 * The resulting node representing this struct can be exemplified by the
 * following picture:
 *
 * @image html eina_inlist-node_eg2-my-struct.png
 * @image rtf eina_inlist-node_eg2-my-struct.png
 * @image latex eina_inlist-node_eg2-my-struct.eps
 *
 * Now we need some pointers and auxiliar variables that will help us iterate on
 * the lists:
 *
 * @skip struct
 * @until l_next;
 *
 * Allocating 100 elements and putting them into an inlist, and the even
 * elements also go to the normal list:
 *
 * @skip for
 * @until }
 *
 * After this point, what we have are two distinct lists that share some
 * elements. The first list (inlist) is defined by the pointers inside the
 * elements data structure, while the second list (normal list) has its own node
 * data structure that is kept outside of the elements.
 *
 * The two lists, sharing some elements, can be represented by the following
 * picture:
 *
 * @htmlonly
 * <img src="eina_inlist-node_eg2-list-inlist.png" style="max-width: 100%;"/>
 * @endhtmlonly
 * @image rtf eina_inlist-node_eg2-list-inlist.png
 * @image latex eina_inlist-node_eg2-list-inlist.eps width=\textwidth
 *
 * Accessing both lists is done normally, as if they didn't have any elements in
 * common:
 *
 * @skip printf
 * @until eina_list_count
 *
 * We can remove elements from the normal list, but we just don't free them
 * because they are still stored in the inlist:
 *
 * @skip EINA_LIST_FOREACH_SAFE
 * @until eina_list_count
 *
 * To finish this example, we want to free both lists, we can't just free all
 * elements on the second list (normal list) because they are still being used
 * in the inlist. So we first discard the normal list without freeing its
 * elements, then we free all elements in the inlist (that contains all elements
 * allocated until now):
 *
 * @skip eina_list_free
 * @until }
 *
 * Here is the full source code for this example: @ref eina_inlist_02_c
 */

/**
 * @page eina_inlist_03_example_page Eina_Inlist advanced usage - multi-inlists
 * @dontinclude eina_inlist_03.c
 *
 * This example describes the usage of multiple inlists storing the same data.
 * It means that some data may appear in more than one inlist at the same time.
 * We will demonstrate this by creating an inlist with 100 numbers, and adding
 * the odd numbers to the second inlist, then remove the numbers divisible by 3
 * from the second list.
 *
 * To accomplish this, it is necessary to have two inlist pointers in the struct
 * that is going to be stored. We are using the default inlist member @ref
 * EINA_INLIST, and adding another member @c even that is of type @ref
 * Eina_Inlist too:
 *
 * @skip struct
 * @until };
 *
 * The representation for this struct is:
 *
 * @image html eina_inlist-node_eg3-my-struct.png
 * @image rtf eina_inlist-node_eg3-my-struct.png
 * @image latex eina_inlist-node_eg3-my-struct.eps
 *
 * And we will define some convenience macros that are equivalent to @ref
 * EINA_INLIST_GET and @ref EINA_INLIST_CONTAINER_GET :
 *
 * @skip define
 * @until offsetof
 *
 * We need two pointers, one for each list, and a pointer that will be used as
 * an iterator:
 *
 * @skipline Eina_Inlist
 *
 * Now we allocate and add to the first list every number from 0 to 99. These
 * nodes data also have the @ref Eina_Inlist node info for the second list (@c
 * even). We will use them to add just the even numbers to the second list, the
 * @c list_even. Also notice that we are using our macro @c EVEN_INLIST_GET to
 * get the pointer to the even list node info:
 *
 * @skip for
 * @until }
 *
 * And the resulting lists will be as follow:
 *
 * @htmlonly
 * <img src="eina_inlist-node_eg3-two-inlists.png" style="max-width: 100%;"/>
 * @endhtmlonly
 * @image rtf eina_inlist-node_eg3-two-inlists.png
 * @image latex eina_inlist-node_eg3-two-inlists.eps width=\textwidth
 *
 * For the first list, we can use the macro @ref EINA_INLIST_FOREACH to iterate
 * over its elements:
 *
 * @skip FOREACH
 * @until printf
 *
 * But for the second list, we have to do it manually. Of course we could create
 * a similar macro to @ref EINA_INLIST_FOREACH, but since this macro is more
 * complex than the other two and we are using it only once, it's better to just
 * do it manually:
 *
 * @skip for
 * @until }
 *
 * Let's just check that the two lists have the expected number of elements:
 *
 * @skip list count
 * @until list_even count
 *
 * And removing the numbers divisible by 3 only from the second list:
 *
 * @skip itr
 * @until list_even count
 *
 * Now that we don't need the two lists anymore, we can just free all the items.
 * Since all of the allocated data was put into the first list, and both lists
 * are made of pointers to inside the data structures, we can free only the
 * first list (that contains all the elements) and the second list will be gone
 * with it:
 *
 * @skip while
 * @until free

/**
 * @addtogroup Eina_Inline_List_Group Inline List
 *
 * @brief These functions provide inline list management.
 *
 * Inline lists mean its nodes pointers are part of same memory as
 * data. This has the benefit of fragmenting memory less and avoiding
 * @c node->data indirection, but has the drawback of higher cost for some
 * common operations like count and sort.
 *
 * It is possible to have inlist nodes to be part of regular lists, created with
 * @ref eina_list_append() or @ref eina_list_prepend(). It's also possible to
 * have a structure with two inlist pointers, thus be part of two different
 * inlists at the same time, but the current convenience macros provided won't
 * work for both of them. Consult @ref inlist_advanced for more info.
 *
 * Inline lists have their purposes, but if you don't know what those purposes are, go with
 * regular lists instead.
 *
 * Tip: When using inlists in more than one place (that is, passing them around
 * functions or keeping a pointer to them in a structure) it's more correct
 * to keep a pointer to the first container, and not a pointer to the first
 * inlist item (mostly they are the same, but that's not always correct).
 * This lets the compiler to do type checking and let the programmer know
 * exactly what type this list is.
 *
 * A simple example demonstrating the basic usage of an inlist can be found
 * here: @ref eina_inlist_01_example_page
 *
 * @section inlist_algo Algorithm
 *
 * The basic structure can be represented by the following picture:
 *
 * @image html eina_inlist-node.png
 * @image rtf eina_inlist-node.png
 * @image latex eina_inlist-node.eps
 *
 * One data structure will also have the node information, with three pointers:
 * @a prev, @a next and @a last. The @a last pointer is just valid for the first
 * element (the list head), otherwise each insertion in the list would have to
 * be done updating every node with the correct pointer. This means that it's
 * always very important to keep a pointer to the first element of the list,
 * since it is the only one that has the correct information to allow a proper
 * O(1) append to the list.
 *
 * @section inlist_perf Performance
 *
 * Due to the nature of the inlist, there's no accounting information, and no
 * easy access to the last element from each list node. This means that @ref
 * eina_inlist_count() is order-N, while @ref eina_list_count() is order-1 (constant
 * time).
 *
 * @section inlist_advanced Advanced Usage
 *
 * The basic usage considers a struct that will have the user data, and also
 * have an inlist node information (prev, next and last pointers) created with
 * @ref EINA_INLIST during the struct declaration. This allows one to use the
 * convenience macros @ref EINA_INLIST_GET(), @ref EINA_INLIST_CONTAINER_GET(),
 * @ref EINA_INLIST_FOREACH() and so. This happens because the @ref EINA_INLIST
 * macro declares a struct member with the name @a __inlist, and all the other
 * macros assume that this struct member has this name.
 *
 * It may be the case that someone needs to have some inlist nodes added to a
 * @ref Eina_List too. If this happens, the inlist nodes can be added to the
 * @ref Eina_List without any problems. This example demonstrates this case:
 * @ref eina_inlist_02_example_page
 *
 * It's also possible to have some data that is part of two different inlists.
 * If this is the case, then it won't be possible to use the convenience macros
 * to both of the lists. It will be necessary to create a new set of macros that
 * will allow access to the second list node info. An example for this usage can
 * be found here:
 * @ref eina_inlist_03_example_page
 *
 * List of examples:
 * @li @ref eina_inlist_01_example_page
 * @li @ref eina_inlist_02_example_page
