Besides tbl_comparison_func, there are two kinds of functions used in libavl to manipulate item data:
typedef void tbl_item_func (void *tbl_item, void *tbl_param); typedef void *tbl_copy_func (void *tbl_item, void *tbl_param); |
Both of these function types receive a table item as their first argument tbl_item and the tbl_param associated with the table as their second argument. This tbl_param is the same one passed as the third argument to tbl_comparison_func. libavl will never pass a null pointer as tbl_item to either kind of function.
A tbl_item_func performs some kind of action on tbl_item. The particular action that it should perform depends on the context in which it is used and the needs of the calling program.
A tbl_copy_func creates and returns a new copy of tbl_item. If copying fails, then it returns a null pointer.
