/*
 * tdq.c: implement a 'to-do queue', a simple de-duplicating to-do
 * list mechanism.
 */

#include <assert.h>

#include "puzzles.h"

/*
 * Implementation: a tdq consists of a circular buffer of size n
 * storing the integers currently in the queue, plus an array of n
 * booleans indicating whether each integer is already there.
 *
 * Using a circular buffer of size n to store between 0 and n items
 * inclusive has an obvious failure mode: if the input and output
 * pointers are the same, how do you know whether that means the
 * buffer is full or empty?
 *
 * In this application we have a simple way to tell: in the former
 * case, the flags array is all 1s, and in the latter case it's all
 * 0s. So we could spot that case and check, say, flags[0].
 *
 * However, it's even easier to simply determine whether the queue is
 * non-empty by testing flags[buffer[op]] - that way we don't even
 * _have_ to compare ip against op.
