GLib.SList.append (original) (raw)

Function

GLibSListappend

Declaration [src]

GSList*
g_slist_append (
  GSList* list,
  gpointer data
)

Description [src]

Adds a new element on to the end of the list.

Note that the return value is the new start of the list if list was empty; make sure you store the new value.

Note that g_slist_append() has to traverse the entire list to find the end, which is inefficient when adding multiple elements. A common idiom to avoid the inefficiency is to prepend the elements and reverse the list when all elements have been added.

// Notice that these are initialized to the empty list. GSList *list = NULL, *number_list = NULL;

// This is a list of strings. list = g_slist_append (list, "first"); list = g_slist_append (list, "second");

// This is a list of integers. number_list = g_slist_append (number_list, GINT_TO_POINTER (27)); number_list = g_slist_append (number_list, GINT_TO_POINTER (14));

This function is not directly available to language bindings.
