[Need Help] to write a function to remove all matching nodes from a linked list...

I have coded a serie of singly linked lists in ANSI C which I have to
use.
The lists are then stored in a serie of buckets with chained hash
table technique.
In the various lists there are nodes that carry the same type of data
in some of their node fields and some don't. In the various nodes ,
the struct datatype, there is a flag set to 1 for items that I need to
remove. In the removing condition I have to add another match with an
internal data field in the node.

Now, what I need is a working code to pass the function the **head of
the list taken from the bucket, then iterate down the list and remove
all matching items wherever they could be down the list (which
obviously must include the condition of removing the whole list) and
finally ensure that dereferencing to the passed (*head) will have the
pointer in the bucket point to the correct new first item if needed
(since it could be removed). And have the list in a fully working
final state with only the items to be removed as per-search conditions
not there anymore.

I could write functions to add a node at the head, to destroy the
whole list, to update fields in node and find data but I can't code
this function and I need a working code to look at or to use directly
with little changes to matching conditions while iterating down the
list.

Could anyone please help me ?

I refined my attempt a little further, and the following code does seem to work, however it has 2 major problems: 1. Very limited support for XPath features Basic paths are supported for elements, attributes, ".", and "..", plus also the "" predicate format is supported - however, only one predicate per path step is supported, and expr must be a relative path. 2. Poor performance

Hi all, I'm having some trouble with a linked list function and was wondering if anyone could shed any light on it. Basically I have a singly-linked list which stores pid numbers of a process's children - when a child is fork()ed its pid is added to the linked list. I then have a SIGCHLD handler which is supposed to remove the pid from the list when a child exits. The problem I'm having is that very very occasionally and seemingly...

Heres the story, I have to create a doubly linked list for class, and i have no clue on how to do it, i can barely create a single linked list. It has to have both a head and a tail pointer, and each node in the list must contain two pointers, one pointing forward and one pointing backwards. Each node in the list will contain 3 data values: an item ID (string), a quantity (integer) and a price (float). The ID will contain only letters and...

I would be grateful if someone had a minute or two to review my hash table implementation. It's not yet commented but hopefully it's short and idiomatic enough to be readable. Some of the code (i.e. the get_hash function) is borrowed from various snippets I found on the net. Thee free function could probably need some love. I have been thinking about having a second linked list of all entries so that the cost of freeing is in proportion to...

I am working through this book on C++ programming, the author is speaking of using linked lists. He gave and example which I found confusing to say the least.

I am creating a class (or so I hope) which is to be a JobCollection, linked list of 'Job'. Job is another class already created. JobCollection is just the linked list manager. I have to have this separated into a .h and .cpp file. The code I am attempting to put into the class is code that I have used before, but simply put into the same file/class with the rest of the application. My header looks like this: <code>

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
