/*
 * struct list_item and related macros and functions provide an interface
 * for manipulating and iterating linked lists.  In order to have list
 * associated with its payload, struct list_item has to be embedded into
 * a structure type representing payload, and (optionally) an additional
 * struct list_item should be added somewhere as a starting point for list
 * iteration (creating a list with a designated head). A situation where
 * no designated head exists, and each embedded struct list_head is considered
 * a head (i.e. starting point for list iteration), is also possible.
 *
 * List head has to be initialised with list_init() call. Statically allocated
 * list heads can also be defined with an EMPTY_LIST() macro.
 *
 * In order to get a pointer to list item from a struct list_item, list_elem
 * macro is used.
 *
 * When a designated head is used, list_head() and list_tail() can be used
 * for getting pointer to the first and the last list item, respectively.
 *
 * list_next() and list_prev() macros can be used for obtaining pointers
 * to the next and the previous items in the list, respectively.  Note that
 * they do not perform additional checks for the validity of these pointers,
 * so they have to be guarded with respective list_head/list_tail checks in case
 * of lists with designated heads (where the list's head is not embedded withing
 * a list item.
 *
 * list_{insert,append,remove,remove_tail,remove_head,replace} provide some
 * basic means of list manipulation.
 *
 * list_foreach() and list_foreach_safe() are wrapper macros for simplifying
 * iteration over a list, with the latter having an additional argument
 * for storing temporary pointer, thus allowing list manipulations during
 * its iteration.
 *
 * A simple example:
 *
 *     struct my_struct {
 *             int a;
 *             struct list_item l1;
 *             struct list_item l2;
 *     };
 *
 *     EMPTY_LIST(list_1);              <--- Defining a designated head for list
 *
 *     struct my_struct *item =
 *             calloc(1, sizeof(*item));
 *     list_init(&item->l2);            <--- Initialising structure field that
 *                                           is used for lists without designated
 *                                           head.
 *     list_insert(&list_1, &item->l1); <--- Inserting an item into the list
 *
 *     item = calloc(1, sizeof(*item));
 *     list_init(&item->l2);
 *
 *     list_append(&(list_head(list_1, struct my_struct, l1)->l2), &item->l2);
 *
 *     struct my_struct *cur = item;    <--- Iteration over a headless list
 *     do {
 *             printf("%d\n", cur->a);
 *     } while ((cur = list_next(&cur, l2)) != item);
 *
 *     struct my_struct *i;
 *     list_foreach(i, list_1, l1) {    <--- Iteration over list_1 without list
 *             printf("%d\n", i->a);         modification
 *     }
 *
 *     struct my_struct *tmp;           <--- Iteration with modification
 *     list_foreach_safe(i, list_1, l1, tmp) {
 *             list_remove(&i->l1);
 *             free(i);
 *     }
