;;; Commentary:

;;; A node is implemented as an array with three elements, using
;;; (elt node 0) as the left pointer
;;; (elt node 1) as the right pointer
;;; (elt node 2) as the data
;;;
;;; Some types of trees, e.g. AVL trees, need bigger nodes, but 
;;; as long as the first three parts are the left pointer, the 
;;; right pointer and the data field, these macros can be used.
;;;

;;; Code:

(provide 'elib-node)


(defmacro elib-node-create (left right data)

  ;; Create a tree node from LEFT, RIGHT and DATA.
  `(vector ,left ,right ,data))


(defmacro elib-node-left (node)

  ;; Return the left pointer of NODE.
  `(aref ,node 0))


(defmacro elib-node-right (node)

  ;; Return the right pointer of NODE.
  `(aref ,node 1))


(defmacro elib-node-data (node)

  ;; Return the data of NODE.
  `(aref ,node 2))


(defmacro elib-node-set-left (node newleft)

  ;; Set the left pointer of NODE to NEWLEFT.
  `(aset ,node 0 ,newleft))


(defmacro elib-node-set-right (node newright)

  ;; Set the right pointer of NODE to NEWRIGHT.
  `(aset ,node 1 ,newright))


(defmacro elib-node-set-data (node newdata)
  ;; Set the data of NODE to NEWDATA.
  `(aset ,node 2 ,newdata))



(defmacro elib-node-branch (node branch)

  ;; Get value of a branch of a node.
  ;; 
  ;; NODE is the node, and BRANCH is the branch.
  ;; 0 for left pointer, 1 for right pointer and 2 for the data."
  `(aref ,node ,branch))


(defmacro elib-node-set-branch (node branch newval)

  ;; Set value of a branch of a node.
  ;;
  ;; NODE is the node, and BRANCH is the branch.
  ;; 0 for left pointer, 1 for the right pointer and 2 for the data.
  ;; NEWVAL is new value of the branch."
  `(aset ,node ,branch ,newval))
