postgres/src/backend/lib/README
Michael Paquier 94e2e150ec Correct list of files in src/backend/lib/README
binaryheap.c and stringinfo.c have been moved to src/common/ by
respectively 5af0263afd and 26aaf97b68, and the README patched here
still mentioned these two files as available in src/backend/lib/.

This directory contains a general purpose data structures, for use anywhere
in the backend:
bipartite_match.c - Hopcroft-Karp maximum cardinality algorithm for bipartite graphs
bloomfilter.c - probabilistic, space-efficient set membership testing
dshash.c - concurrent hash tables backed by dynamic shared memory areas
hyperloglog.c - a streaming cardinality estimator
ilist.c - single and double-linked lists
integerset.c - a data structure for holding large set of integers
knapsack.c - knapsack problem solver
pairingheap.c - a pairing heap
rbtree.c - a red-black tree
Aside from the inherent characteristics of the data structures, there are a
few practical differences between the binary heap and the pairing heap. The
binary heap is fully allocated at creation, and cannot be expanded beyond the
allocated size. The pairing heap on the other hand has no inherent maximum
size, but the caller needs to allocate each element being stored in the heap,
while the binary heap works with plain Datums or pointers.
The linked-lists in ilist.c can be embedded directly into other structs, as
opposed to the List interface in nodes/pg_list.h.
