/* A generic list of pointers to objects.
   No storage management or copying is done on the objects pointed to.
   Objectives: avoid using MFC libraries in ndm kernel mode and
   provide a really useful list type.

   The class is thread safe in that separate threads may add and
   delete items in the list concurrently although the application
   must ensure that constructor and destructor access is suitably
   synchronised. An application can cause deadlock with operations
   which use two lists by simultaneously calling
   list1->Operation(list2) and list2->Operation(list1).  So don't!

   The names must not conflict with MFC classes as an application
   may use both.

   /* A POSITION represents (in some fashion that's opaque) a cursor
      on the list that can be set to identify any element.  NULL is
      a valid value and several operations regard NULL as the position
      "one step off the end of the list".  (In an n element list there
      are n+1 places to insert and NULL is that "n+1-th" value).
      The POSITION of an element in the list is only invalidated if
      that element is deleted.  Move operations may mean that what
      was a valid POSITION in one list is now a valid POSITION in
      a different list.

      Some operations which at first sight are illegal are allowed as
      harmless no-ops.  For instance RemoveHead is legal on an empty
      list and it returns NULL.  This allows an atomic way to test if
      there is an element there, and if so, get it.  The two operations
      AddTail and RemoveHead thus implement a MONITOR (See Hoare's paper).

      Single element operations return POSITIONs, non-NULL means it worked.
      whole list operations return a BOOL.  TRUE means it all worked.

      This definition is the same as the POSITION type for MFCs, so we must
      avoid defining it twice.

       Next(NULL) is same as GetHeadPosition()
       Prev(NULL) is same as GetTailPosition()
       An n element list therefore behaves like a n+1 element
       cycle with NULL at the start/end.

       !!WARNING!! - This handling of NULL is DIFFERENT from GetNext.

       Some reasons are:
       1. For a list of n items there are n+1 positions to insert
          These are conveniently encoded as the n POSITIONs and NULL.
       2. If you are keeping a list sorted (fairly common) and you
          search forward for an element to insert before and don't
          find it you finish up with NULL as the element before which
          to insert.  You then want that NULL to be a valid POSITION
          so that you can insert before it and you want that insertion
          point to mean the (n+1)-th one that doesn't have a POSITION.
          (symmetrically if you are working backwards through the list).
       3. It simplifies the algebra which the methods generate.
          e.g. AddBefore(p,x) is identical to AddAfter(Prev(p),x)
          in ALL cases.  All the other arguments probably are reflections
          of the algebraic point.

    /* The following operations do not copy any elements.
       They move existing blocks of elements around by switching pointers.
       They are fairly efficient for long lists as for short lists.
       (Alas, the Count slows things down).

       They split the list into two parts.
       One part remains as the original list, the other part
       is appended to the second list.  There are eight possible
       variations:
       Split the list {after/before} a given element
       keep the {head/tail} portion in the original list
       append the rest to the {head/tail} of the new list.

       Since After is strictly equivalent to Before Next
       we are not in serious need of the Before/After variants.
       That leaves only four.

       If you are processing a list left to right and dumping
       the bits that you have processed into another list as
       you go, the Tail/Tail variant gives the most natural result.
       If you are processing in reverse order, Head/Head is best.

       By using NULL positions and empty lists judiciously either
       of the other two can be built up in two operations.

       The definition of NULL (see Next/Prev etc) means that
       degenerate cases include
          "move all elements to new list"
          "Split a list into two lists"
          "Concatenate two lists"
          (and quite a few no-ops)

       !!WARNING!! The type checking won't buy you much if you get list
       positions muddled up - e.g. use a POSITION that's in a different
       list and see what a mess you get!
