/* A type-safe doubly-linked list class. */

/*
 * The classes LinkedList<T> and LinkedListElement<T> together form a
 * convenient, type-safe doubly-linked list implementation.
 *
 * The class T which will be inserted into the linked list must inherit from
 * LinkedListElement<T>.  A given object may be in only one linked list at a
 * time.
 *
 * A LinkedListElement automatically removes itself from the list upon
 * destruction, and a LinkedList will fatally assert in debug builds if it's
 * non-empty when it's destructed.
 *
 * For example, you might use LinkedList in a simple observer list class as
 * follows.
 *
 *   class Observer : public LinkedListElement<Observer>
 *   {
 *   public:
 *     void observe(char* aTopic) { ... }
 *   };
 *
 *   class ObserverContainer
 *   {
 *   private:
 *     LinkedList<Observer> list;
 *
 *   public:
 *     void addObserver(Observer* aObserver)
 *     {
 *       // Will assert if |aObserver| is part of another list.
 *       list.insertBack(aObserver);
 *     }
 *
 *     void removeObserver(Observer* aObserver)
 *     {
 *       // Will assert if |aObserver| is not part of some list.
 *       aObserver.remove();
 *       // Or, will assert if |aObserver| is not part of |list| specifically.
 *       // aObserver.removeFrom(list);
 *     }
 *
 *     void notifyObservers(char* aTopic)
 *     {
 *       for (Observer* o = list.getFirst(); o != nullptr; o = o->getNext()) {
 *         o->observe(aTopic);
 *       }
 *     }
 *   };
 *
 * Additionally, the class AutoCleanLinkedList<T> is a LinkedList<T> that will
 * remove and delete each element still within itself upon destruction. Note
 * that because each element is deleted, elements must have been allocated
 * using |new|.

   * It's convenient that we return nullptr when getNext() or getPrevious()
   * hits the end of the list, but doing so costs an extra word of storage in
   * each linked list node (to keep track of whether |this| is the sentinel
   * node) and a branch on this value in getNext/getPrevious.
   *
   * We could get rid of the extra word of storage by shoving the "is
   * sentinel" bit into one of the pointers, although this would, of course,
   * have performance implications of its own.
   *
   * But the goal here isn't to win an award for the fastest or slimmest
   * linked list; rather, we want a *convenient* linked list.  So we won't
   * waste time guessing which micro-optimization strategy is best.
   *
   *
   * Speaking of unnecessary work, it's worth addressing here why we wrote
   * mozilla::LinkedList in the first place, instead of using stl::list.
   *
   * The key difference between mozilla::LinkedList and stl::list is that
   * mozilla::LinkedList stores the mPrev/mNext pointers in the object itself,
   * while stl::list stores the mPrev/mNext pointers in a list element which
   * itself points to the object being stored.
   *
   * mozilla::LinkedList's approach makes it harder to store an object in more
   * than one list.  But the upside is that you can call next() / prev() /
   * remove() directly on the object.  With stl::list, you'd need to store a
   * pointer to its iterator in the object in order to accomplish this.  Not
   * only would this waste space, but you'd have to remember to update that
   * pointer every time you added or removed the object from a list.
   *
   * In-place, constant-time removal is a killer feature of doubly-linked
   * lists, and supporting this painlessly was a key design criterion.
