/* A type-safe doubly-linked list class. */

/*
 * The classes LinkedList<T> and LinkedListElement<T> together form a
 * convenient, type-safe doubly-linked list implementation.
 *
 * The class T which will be inserted into the linked list must inherit from
 * LinkedListElement<T>.  A given object may be in only one linked list at a
 * time.
 *
 * For example, you might use LinkedList in a simple observer list class as
 * follows.
 *
 *   class Observer : public LinkedListElement<Observer>
 *   {
 *     void observe(char* topic) { ... }
 *   };
 *
 *   class ObserverContainer
 *   {
 *   private:
 *     LinkedList<ElemType> list;
 *
 *   public:
 *
 *     void addObserver(Observer* observer)
 *     {
 *       // Will assert if |observer| is part of another list.
 *       list.insertBack(observer);
 *     }
 *
 *     void removeObserver(Observer* observer)
 *     {
 *       // Will assert if |observer| is not part of some list.
 *       observer.remove();
 *     }
 *
 *     void notifyObservers(char* topic)
 *     {
 *       for (Observer* o = list.getFirst();
 *            o != NULL;
 *            o = o->getNext()) {
 *         o->Observe(topic);
 *       }
 *     }
 *   };
