LinkedListLib

Build Status Discord

A linked list library provided by Modular-Network for using linked list data structures in your project.

This utility library was forked from https://github.com/o0ragman0o/LibCLL into the Modular-Network ethereum-libraries repo at https://github.com/Modular-Network/ethereum-libraries

It has been updated to add additional functionality and be more compatible with solidity 0.4.18 coding patterns.

Library Address

Main Ethereum Network: 0x95FC85B52cC88AC6926bC55d64B88b2AcF18C59B

Installation and Usage

How to install

npm install ethereum-libraries-linked-list

How to link

This process will allow you to both link your contract to the current on-chain library as well as deploy it in your local environment for development.

Amend the deployment .js file in your truffle migrations/ directory as follows:

var LinkedListLib = artifacts.require("ethereum-libraries-linked-list/build/contracts/LinkedListLib.json");
var YourOtherContract = artifacts.require("./YourOtherContract.sol");
...
 
module.exports = function(deployer) {
  deployer.deploy(LinkedListLib, {overwrite: false});
  deployer.link(LinkedListLib, YourOtherContract);
  deployer.deploy(YourOtherContract);
};

Note: If you have not created a second deployment .js file in the migrations/ directory, this needs to be done first. You cannot use the 1_initial_migration.js file for your migrations.

Note: The .link() function should be called before you .deploy(YourOtherContract). Also, be sure to include the {overwrite: false} when writing the deployer i.e. .deploy(Array256Lib, {overwrite: false}). This prevents deploying the library onto the main network or Rinkeby test network at your cost and uses the library already on the blockchain. The function should still be called however because it allows you to use it in your development environment. See below

Testing

Test: npm run test

Test Coverage: npm run test:coverage

solc Installation

version 0.4.21

For direction and instructions on how the Solidity command line compiler works see the documentation.

With standard JSON input

The Standard JSON Input provides an easy interface to include libraries. Include the following as part of your JSON input file:

{
  "language": "Solidity",
  "sources":
  {
    "YourContract.sol": {
      ...
      ...
    },
    "LinkedListLib.sol": {
      "content": "[Contents of LinkedListLib.sol]"
    }
  },
  "settings":
  {
    ...
    "libraries": {
      "YourContract.sol": {
        "LinkedListLib": "0x95FC85B52cC88AC6926bC55d64B88b2AcF18C59B"
      }
    }
  }
}

solc without standard JSON input

When creating unlinked binary, the compiler currently leaves special substrings in the compiled bytecode in the form of 'LibraryName____' which leaves a 20 byte space for the library's address. In order to include the deployed library in your bytecode add the following flag to your command:

--libraries "LinkedListLib:0x95FC85B52cC88AC6926bC55d64B88b2AcF18C59B"

Additionally, if you have multiple libraries, you can create a file with one library string per line and include this library as follows:

"LinkedListLib:0x95FC85B52cC88AC6926bC55d64B88b2AcF18C59B"

then add the following flag to your command:

--libraries filename

Finally, if you have an unlinked binary already stored with the 'LibraryName____' placeholder, you can run the compiler with the --link flag and also include the following flag:

--libraries "LinkedListLib:0x95FC85B52cC88AC6926bC55d64B88b2AcF18C59B"

solc documentation

See the solc documentation for further information.

solc-js Installation

version 0.4.21

Solc-js provides javascript bindings for the Solidity compiler and can be found here. Please refer to their documentation for detailed use.

This version of Solc-js also uses the standard JSON input to compile a contract. The entry function is compileStandardWrapper() and you can create a standard JSON object explained under the solc section and incorporate it as follows:

var solc = require('solc');
var fs = require('fs');
 
var file = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/YourContract.sol','utf8');
var LinkedListLib = fs.readFileSync('./path/to/LinkedListLib.sol','utf8');
 
var input = {
  "language": "Solidity",
  "sources":
  {
    "YourContract.sol": {
      "content": file
    },
    "StringUtilsLib.sol": {
      "content": LinkedListLib
    }
  },
  "settings":
  {
    ...
    "libraries": {
      "YourContract.sol": {
        "LinkedListLib": "0xD620Ce17fC516671F0fA84Ac88e39dCBb0a1615A"
      }
    }
    ...
  }
}
 
var output = JSON.parse(solc.compileStandardWrapper(JSON.stringify(input)));
 
//Where the output variable is a standard JSON output object.

Solc-js Installation via Linking

Solc-js also provides a linking method if you have compiled binary code already with the placeholder. To link this library the call would be:

bytecode = solc.linkBytecode(bytecode, { 'Array256Lib': '0xD620Ce17fC516671F0fA84Ac88e39dCBb0a1615A' });

Solc-js documentation

See the Solc-js documentation for further information.

Overview

Basic Usage

The Linked List library provides functionality needed to create and manipulate a Circular Linked List Data structure by allowing a multitude of different functions to be used to interact with the struct. Functions like push() and pop() can be used to create a FILO stack or FIFO ring buffer. getAdjacent() can also be used to iterate over the list. Brief description of functionality:

  • Can check if the list exists and find the size.
  • Can check if a certain node exists.
  • Gets adjacent nodes to a specified node.
  • Finds a spot in a sorted list for a new node to be placed.
  • Insert nodes and create links between nodes.
  • Remove, push, and pop nodes from the list.

LinkedList is a nested mapping with the first key being the node index (uint256) and the second being the bidirectional link (bool) to a neighboring node. Key 0 implies the head so writes to LinkedList.list[0] or manually linking to Linkedlist.list0 are to be avoided by the calling contract.

    struct LinkedList{
        mapping (uint256 => mapping (bool => uint256)) cll;
    }

Mutations to State

The bidirectional links consist of two State slots (2x uint256) which are written to by the function createLink(). insert() calls createLink() twice for a total of 4 state mutations. remove calls createLink() once and deletes two slots.

DISCLAIMER: As always, please ensure you review this code thoroughly for your team's use. We strive to make our code as solid, clean, and well documented as possible but will not accept liability for unforeseen circumstances in which value is lost or stolen. This includes but not limited to any inability to meet signature requirements to move funds, loss of private keys, transactions you deem unauthorized from an owner's account, etc. The library code has been thoroughly tested by our team and believe it to be suitable enough to be posted in our open source repository, however, you are still responsible for its implementation and security in your smart contract. Please use your best judgment. Please [let us know immediately](https://modular.network "Modular-Network website") if you have discovered any issues or vulnerabilities with this library.
