[PATCH 4/9] Add treap implementation

From: Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>

Provide macros to generate a type-specific treap implementation and various functions to operate on it. It uses obj_pool.h to store memory nodes in a treap. Previously committed nodes are never removed from the pool; after any *_commit operation, it is assumed (correctly, in the case of svn-fast-export) that someone else must care about them.

Treaps provide a memory-efficient binary search tree structure. Insertion/deletion/search are about as about as fast in the average case as red-black trees and the chances of worst-case behavior are vanishingly small, thanks to (pseudo-)randomness. The bad worst-case behavior is a small price to pay, given that treaps are much simpler to implement.

Tweaked treap_search() to always return the node after a missing
node, like it is documented to.  For vcs-svn this doesn’t matter
but the predictable semantics should make debugging easier.

The rest of the patches are almost identical to the versions Ram sent; see the aforementioned git tree if you are interested in trying them out. Testing would be quite welcome.

+Motivation
+==========
+
+Treaps provide a memory-efficient binary search tree structure.
+Insertion/deletion/search are about as about as fast in the average
+case as red-black trees and the chances of worst-case behavior are
+vanishingly small, thanks to (pseudo-)randomness.  The bad worst-case
+behavior is a small price to pay, given that treaps are much simpler
+to implement.
+
+API
+===
+
+The trp API generates a data structure and functions to handle a
+large growing set of objects stored in a pool.
+
+The caller:
+
+. Specifies parameters for the generated functions with the
+  trp_gen(static, foo_, ...) macro.
+
+. Allocates a `struct trp_root` variable and sets it to {~0}.
+
+. Adds new nodes to the set using `foo_insert`.
+
+. Can find a specific item in the set using `foo_search`.
+
+. Can iterate over items in the set using `foo_first` and `foo_next`.
+
+. Can remove an item from the set using `foo_remove`.
+
+Example:
+
+----
+struct ex_node {
+	const char *s;
+	struct trp_node ex_link;
+};
+static struct trp_root ex_base = {~0};
+obj_pool_gen(ex, struct ex_node, 4096);
+trp_gen(static, ex_, struct ex_node, ex_link, ex, strcmp)
+struct ex_node *item;
+
+item = ex_pointer(ex_alloc(1));
+item->s = "hello";
+ex_insert(&ex_base, item);
+item = ex_pointer(ex_alloc(1));
+item->s = "goodbye";
+ex_insert(&ex_base, item);
+for (item = ex_first(&ex_base); item; item = ex_next(&ex_base, item))
+	printf("%s\n", item->s);
+----
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+trp_gen(attr, foo_, node_type, link_field, pool, cmp)::
+
+	Generate a type-specific treap implementation.
++
+. The storage class for generated functions will be 'attr' (e.g., `static`).
+. Generated function names are prefixed with 'foo_' (e.g., `treap_`).
+. Treap nodes will be of type 'node_type' (e.g., `struct treap_node`).
+  This type must be a struct with at least one `struct trp_node` field
+  to point to its children.
+. The field used to access child nodes will be 'link_field'.
+. All treap nodes must lie in the 'pool' object pool.
+. Treap nodes must be totally ordered by the 'cmp' relation, with the
+  following prototype:
++
+int (*cmp)(node_type \*a, node_type \*b)
++
+and returning a value less than, equal to, or greater than zero
+according to the result of comparison.
+
+void foo_insert(struct trp_root *treap, node_type \*node)::
+
+	Insert node into treap.  If inserted multiple times,
+	a node will appear in the treap multiple times.
+
+void foo_remove(struct trp_root *treap, node_type \*node)::
+
+	Remove node from treap.  Caller must ensure node is
+	present in treap before using this function.
+
+node_type *foo_search(struct trp_root \*treap, node_type \*key)::
+
+	Search for a node that matches key.  If no match is found,
+	return what would be key's successor, were key in treap
+	(NULL if no successor).
+
+node_type *foo_first(struct trp_root \*treap)::
+
+	Find the first item from the treap, in sorted order.
+
+node_type *foo_next(struct trp_root \*treap, node_type \*node)::
+
+	Find the next item.
