/** \class wl_list
*
* \brief doubly-linked list
* \brief Doubly-linked list
*
* The list head is of "struct wl_list" type, and must be initialized
* using wl_list_init(). All entries in the list must be of the same
* type. The item type must have a "struct wl_list" member. This
* member will be initialized by wl_list_insert(). There is no need to
* call wl_list_init() on the individual item. To query if the list is
* empty in O(1), use wl_list_empty().
* On its own, an instance of `struct wl_list` represents the sentinel head of
* a doubly-linked list, and must be initialized using wl_list_init().
* When empty, the list head's `next` and `prev` members point to the list head
* itself, otherwise `next` references the first element in the list, and `prev`
* refers to the last element in the list.
*
* Let's call the list reference "struct wl_list foo_list", the item type as
* "item_t", and the item member as "struct wl_list link".
* Use the `struct wl_list` type to represent both the list head and the links
* between elements within the list. Use wl_list_empty() to determine if the
* list is empty in O(1).
*
* All elements in the list must be of the same type. The element type must have
* a `struct wl_list` member, often named `link` by convention. Prior to
* insertion, there is no need to initialize an element's `link` - invoking
* wl_list_init() on an individual list element's `struct wl_list` member is
* unnecessary if the very next operation is wl_list_insert(). However, a
* common idiom is to initialize an element's `link` prior to removal - ensure
* safety by invoking wl_list_init() before wl_list_remove().
*
* Consider a list reference `struct wl_list foo_list`, an element type as
* `struct element`, and an element's link member as `struct wl_list link`.
*
* The following code initializes a list and adds three elements to it.
*
* The following code will initialize a list:
* \code
* struct wl_list foo_list;
*
* struct item_t {
* int foo;
* struct wl_list link;
* struct element {
* int foo;
* struct wl_list link;
* };
* struct item_t item1, item2, item3;
* struct element e1, e2, e3;
*
* wl_list_init(&foo_list);
* wl_list_insert(&foo_list, &item1.link); // Pushes item1 at the head
* wl_list_insert(&foo_list, &item2.link); // Pushes item2 at the head
* wl_list_insert(&item2.link, &item3.link); // Pushes item3 after item2
* wl_list_insert(&foo_list, &e1.link); // e1 is the first element
* wl_list_insert(&foo_list, &e2.link); // e2 is now the first element
* wl_list_insert(&e2.link, &e3.link); // insert e3 after e2
* \endcode
*
* The list now looks like [item2, item3, item1]
* The list now looks like <em>[e2, e3, e1]</em>.
*
* The `wl_list` API provides some iterator macros. For example, to iterate
* a list in ascending order:
*
* Iterate the list in ascending order:
* \code
* item_t *item;
* wl_list_for_each(item, foo_list, link) {
* Do_something_with_item(item);
* struct element *e;
* wl_list_for_each(e, foo_list, link) {
* do_something_with_element(e);
* }
* \endcode
*
* See the documentation of each iterator for details.
