Binary Heap

Macros for generating a layer of functionality that allows arrays to be used as a priority queue.

Features:

• Any type can be used.

• Any array can be converted into a binary heap.
  Reduced overhead when data already loaded.

• Preprocessor generates native code.
  All code is type checked.
  Fast.

• All generated code is enclosed in functions.
  Any error inside a macro references correct function.
  (Very useful when macros break line numbering.)

• No memory allocated.
  Simplify reasoning about code.
  (But you have to make sure capacity is available!)

• ANSI C

Example usage

#include <stdio.h>
#include "cbh_macro.h"

int compare_test(const int *a, const int *b)
{
	return (*a > *b);
}

bheap_generate_definitions(test, int)

int main(int argv, char *argc[])
{
	struct bheap_test heap;
	int ns[7] = {5, 3, 0, 1, 2, 4};
	int a = 6;
	int b;

	bheap_test_create(&heap, 6, 7, ns);

	bheap_test_add(&heap, &a);
	if (a == *bheap_test_head(&heap))
		printf("largest is first\n");
	else
		printf("fuckup");

	printf("Print sorted order:   ");
	while (!bheap_test_empty(&heap)) {
		printf("%u ", *bheap_test_head(&heap));
		bheap_test_remove(&heap);
	}
	printf("\n");

	return 0;
