[Mr.Pockets00000]

"disclaimer"

- This requires vJASS (go figure)
- You require W.E. with vJASS injector code to use this system (like This one)

"FAQ"

Q: is it magic?
A: No.....

Q: Is it real?
A: yes.

Q: how does it worx?
A: its a very fancy linked list

Q: Is it syntactically clean?
A: sorta

Confused?

Make sure you see the subtopic labled "textmacros"

This is a singly linked-list. To show you how this could be simplified and be more similar to other list resources that we have:

//! textmacro genList takes listType, getterName, structName, nullVal
struct $structName$
    $listType$ cur
    readonly thistype next
    
    static method create takes $listType$ r returns thistype
        local thistype new = .allocate()
        
        set new.cur = r
        
        return new
    endmethod
    
    method get$getterName$ takes nothing returns $listType$
        return cur
    endmethod
    
    method operator inList takes nothing returns boolean
        return next != 0
    endmethod
    
    method add takes $listType$ r returns nothing
        set next = thistype.create(r)
    endmethod
    
    method destroy takes nothing returns nothing
        if inList then
            call next.destroy()
        endif
        set cur = $nullVal$
        set next = 0
        call .deallocate()
    endmethod
endstruct

//! endtextmacro

I think this should be graveyarded by the fact that List<T> is approved now, and it has more funcionality, so this is like a weak subset of that + I think this has terrible API, after every insert you have to call getChild, which gets pretty heavy.

Hey there. I don't really see it offers something new next to approved submissions, forexample what edo said.--some tags are broken.
