 * rbtree.c
 *    implementation for PostgreSQL generic Red-Black binary tree package
 *    Adopted from http://algolist.manual.ru/ds/rbtree.php
 *
 * This code comes from Thomas Niemann's "Sorting and Searching Algorithms:
 * a Cookbook".
 *
 * See http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/software/AlgAnim/niemann/s_man.htm for

 *
 * Red-black trees are a type of balanced binary tree wherein (1) any child of
 * a red node is always black, and (2) every path from root to leaf traverses
 * an equal number of black nodes.  From these properties, it follows that the
 * longest path from root to leaf is only about twice as long as the shortest,
 * so lookups are guaranteed to run in O(lg n) time.

 * rbt_create: create an empty RBTree
 *
 * Arguments are:
 *  node_size: actual size of tree nodes (> sizeof(RBTNode))
 *  The manipulation functions:
 *  comparator: compare two RBTNodes for less/equal/greater
 *  combiner: merge an existing tree entry with a new one
 *  allocfunc: allocate a new RBTNode
 *  freefunc: free an old RBTNode
 *  arg: passthrough pointer that will be passed to the manipulation functions
 *
 * Note that the combiner's righthand argument will be a "proposed" tree node,
 * ie the input to rbt_insert, in which the RBTNode fields themselves aren't
 * valid.  Similarly, either input to the comparator may be a "proposed" node.
 * This shouldn't matter since the functions aren't supposed to look at the
 * RBTNode fields, only the extra fields of the struct the RBTNode is embedded
 * in.
 *
 * The freefunc should just be pfree or equivalent; it should NOT attempt
 * to free any subsidiary data, because the node passed to it may not contain
 * valid data!  freefunc can be NULL if caller doesn't require retail
 * space reclamation.
 *
 * The RBTree node is palloc'd in the caller's memory context.  Note that
 * all contents of the tree are actually allocated by the caller, not here.
 *
 * Since tree contents are managed by the caller, there is currently not
 * an explicit "destroy" operation; typically a tree would be freed by
 * resetting or deleting the memory context it's stored in.  You can pfree
 * the RBTree node if you feel the urge.
