Testing Cursors

Time to find out how many horribly embarassing mistakes I made in the previous section!

Oh god we made our API unlike both std and the old impl. Alright well I'm just gonna hastily cobble together something from both of them. Yeah let's "borrow" these tests from std:

    #[test]
    fn test_cursor_move_peek() {
        let mut m: LinkedList<u32> = LinkedList::new();
        m.extend([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
        let mut cursor = m.cursor_mut();
        cursor.move_next();
        assert_eq!(cursor.current(), Some(&mut 1));
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_next(), Some(&mut 2));
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_prev(), None);
        assert_eq!(cursor.index(), Some(0));
        cursor.move_prev();
        assert_eq!(cursor.current(), None);
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_next(), Some(&mut 1));
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_prev(), Some(&mut 6));
        assert_eq!(cursor.index(), None);
        cursor.move_next();
        cursor.move_next();
        assert_eq!(cursor.current(), Some(&mut 2));
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_next(), Some(&mut 3));
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_prev(), Some(&mut 1));
        assert_eq!(cursor.index(), Some(1));

        let mut cursor = m.cursor_mut();
        cursor.move_prev();
        assert_eq!(cursor.current(), Some(&mut 6));
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_next(), None);
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_prev(), Some(&mut 5));
        assert_eq!(cursor.index(), Some(5));
        cursor.move_next();
        assert_eq!(cursor.current(), None);
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_next(), Some(&mut 1));
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_prev(), Some(&mut 6));
        assert_eq!(cursor.index(), None);
        cursor.move_prev();
        cursor.move_prev();
        assert_eq!(cursor.current(), Some(&mut 5));
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_next(), Some(&mut 6));
        assert_eq!(cursor.peek_prev(), Some(&mut 4));
        assert_eq!(cursor.index(), Some(4));
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_cursor_mut_insert() {
        let mut m: LinkedList<u32> = LinkedList::new();
        m.extend([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);

    }

Moment of truth!

I'll admit, I had some hubris here and was hoping I nailed it. This is why we write tests (but maybe I just did a bad job of porting the tests..?).

What's the first failure?

let mut m: LinkedList<u32> = LinkedList::new();
m.extend([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
let mut cursor = m.cursor_mut();

cursor.move_next();
assert_eq!(cursor.current(), Some(&mut 1));
assert_eq!(cursor.peek_next(), Some(&mut 2));
assert_eq!(cursor.peek_prev(), None);
assert_eq!(cursor.index(), Some(0));

cursor.move_prev();
assert_eq!(cursor.current(), None);
assert_eq!(cursor.peek_next(), Some(&mut 1)); // DIES HERE

Geez I really messed up some basic functionality. Wait,

Head empty, Option methods and (omitted) compiler errors do all thinking now.

Well I am nothing if not honest.

pub fn peek_next(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T> {
    unsafe {
        self.cur
            .and_then(|node| (*node.as_ptr()).back)
            .map(|node| &mut (*node.as_ptr()).elem)
    }
}

...Yeah this is just wrong. If self.cur is None, we aren't just supposed to give up, we need to check self.list.front too, because we're on the ghost! So we just need to add an or_else to the chain:

pub fn peek_next(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T> {
    unsafe {
        self.cur
            .and_then(|node| (*node.as_ptr()).back)
            .or_else(|| self.list.front)
            .map(|node| &mut (*node.as_ptr()).elem)
    }
}

pub fn peek_prev(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T> {
    unsafe {
        self.cur
            .and_then(|node| (*node.as_ptr()).front)
            .or_else(|| self.list.back)
            .map(|node| &mut (*node.as_ptr()).elem)
    }
}

Did that fix it?

thread 'test::test_cursor_move_peek' panicked at 'assertion failed: `(left == right)`
  left: `Some(6)`,
 right: `None`', src\lib.rs:1078:9

Wait now it's wrong further back. Ok I need to stop head-emptying peek because apparently it's a lot harder than I was willing to give it credit for. Just trying to blindly chain these cases is a disaster, let's have a proper if for the cases of ghost vs not:

pub fn peek_next(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T> {
    unsafe {
        let next = if let Some(cur) = self.cur {
            // Normal case, try to follow the cur node's back pointer
            (*cur.as_ptr()).back
        } else {
            // Ghost case, try to use the list's front pointer
            self.list.front
        };

        // Yield the element if the next node exists
        next.map(|node| &mut (*node.as_ptr()).elem)
    }
}

pub fn peek_prev(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T> {
    unsafe {
        let prev = if let Some(cur) = self.cur {
            // Normal case, try to follow the cur node's front pointer
            (*cur.as_ptr()).front
        } else {
            // Ghost case, try to use the list's back pointer
            self.list.back
        };

        // Yield the element if the prev node exists
        prev.map(|node| &mut (*node.as_ptr()).elem)
    }
}

Feelin' confident about this one!

Yesss. Ok one more failure to go... oh.

Did you notice the part where I commented out some code for testing remove_current? Yeah I wasn't paying attention to the fact that this test is stateful. Let's just create a new list with the state the remove_current part would have left us in:

Heyyyy look at thaaat... ok now I'm getting paranoid. Let's properly fill in check_links and test it under miri:

fn check_links<T: Eq + std::fmt::Debug>(list: &LinkedList<T>) {
    let from_front: Vec<_> = list.iter().collect();
    let from_back: Vec<_> = list.iter().rev().collect();
    let re_reved: Vec<_> = from_back.into_iter().rev().collect();

    assert_eq!(from_front, re_reved);
}

Is this the best way to do this? No. Is it fine? Yes.

DONE.

Done.

We did it. We made a god damn production-quality LinkedList, with basically all the same functionality as the one in std. Are we missing little convenience methods here and there? Absolutely. Will I add them into the final published version of the crate? Probably!

But, I am, So Very Tired.

So. We win.

Wait fuck. We're being production quality. Ok one last final boss: clippy.

Alright clippy, let's do this.

Complaint 1 (and 3): we use while let Some(_) = instead of while .is_some(). The loop is empty so this truly doesn't matter but ok fine, clippy, I'll do things your way.

Complaint 2: We have an actual inherent into_iter method. Wait, what checks std ok, point to clippy. IntoIterator is in the prelude (and basically a lang item) so, we don't need an inherent version too.

Complaint 4: we copied a weird cargocult from std. shrug fine I'll remove it.

Nice. Just one last thing to do before calling it production quality: fmt.

...yeah it added some newlines and removed some trailing whitespace. Nothing interesting.

WE ARE NOW TRULY FINALLY DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
