28.3.3: Iterating a Chain

Iterating a chain is a common function. The example shows how to iterate the buffer pool chain created in the last section to find buffers starting with a specific string. If the buffer is located it is extracted from the chain and placed on another chain:

void foobar (const char*          match,
             rtems_chain_control* chain,
             rtems_chain_control* out)
{
  rtems_chain_node* node;
  foo*              bar;

  rtems_chain_initialize_empty (out);

  node = chain->first;

  while (!rtems_chain_is_tail (chain, node))
  {
    bar = (foo*) node;
    rtems_chain_node* next_node = node->next;

    if (strcmp (match, bar->data) == 0)
    {
      rtems_chain_extract (node);
      rtems_chain_append (out, node);
    }

    node = next_node;
  }
}
