Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #7005: "Rootless" (doubly linked) lists https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7005 <p> Please add support for doubly linked lists that do not have a root node. Rather such a container (a thin wrapper around the associated *list_algorithms&lt;&gt; class) would simply hold a pointer to the beginning of the list (or a null for an empty list). This would eliminate the need to actually have an instance of a container...rather *list_algorithms&lt;&gt;::static functions could be used directly on any member of the list w/o "worrying" whether it is a pointer to the root node or an actual contained object... </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7005 Trac 1.4.3 Ion Gaztañaga Wed, 29 May 2013 08:10:57 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7005#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7005#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">duplicate</span> </li> </ul> <p> Duplicate of bug <a class="closed ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7004" title="#7004: Feature Requests: Linear (doubly linked) list support.
