/* 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.
