Description
Currently list_foreach presents a link_t * as an iterator. This leads to almost any list_foreach loop over a list of foo_t
to look like this:
list_foreach(list, link) { foo_t *foo = list_get_instance(link, foo_t, link_field); ... use foo ... }
therefore it would make sense to simplify the syntax to either:
list_foreach(list, foo_t, foo, link_field) { ... use foo ... }
or
list_foreach(list, link_field, foo_t, foo) { ... use foo ... }
the only downside being, one has to remember the correct order of four arguments.
Please let me know your comments on this proposal.
