API Reference — PolyNode — stdlib compatibility

New to the concepts? See Building Blocks — PolyNode first.

PolyNode embeds std.DoublyLinkedList.Node.

  • No custom list type.
  • No adapter.
  • Every PolyNode-based item participates in standard std.DoublyLinkedList operations.

Batch operations use plain std.DoublyLinkedList:

  • mailbox.close()
  • mailbox.receive_batch()
  • pool.put_all()

Walk results with popFirst() — standard Zig, nothing Matryoshka-specific.

Warning:

  • std.DoublyLinkedList.popFirst() does NOT clear the node's prev/next links.
  • Call polynode.reset(poly) after popping, before re-sending the item or checking polynode.is_linked.
  • Skipping reset causes false positives from is_linked and assert failures in pool/mailbox assert guards.
