NAME

       addchain - create a chain and add it to a list

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs	to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

SYNOPSYS

       #include "mut.h"
       chain_list *addchain(pthead, ptdata)
       chain_list *pthead;
       void *ptdata;

PARAMETERS

       pthead		   Pointer to a chain_list

       ptdata		   Generic pointer to any kind of information

DESCRIPTION

       addchain creates a new chain element and adds it to the front of the list pointed to by pthead, and becomes itself the list head.
       The chain_lists are mosty used to create temporary lists of homogeneous elements, for binary trees, and so on.
       The ptdata points to any kind of list or may itself be a value, if proper cast is performed at compilation time, and fills the  DATA  field
       of the chain structure.	For details on the structure, see chain(3).

RETURN VALUE

       addchain returns a pointer to the new head of list.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mut.h"
       #include "mlo.h"
       chain_list *get_external_connectors(ptfig)
       lofig_list *ptfig;
       {
       locon_list *pt = ptfig->LOCON;
       chain_list *c = NULL; /* initialized for regularity */
	  while (pt) {
	     if (pt->TYPE == EXTERNAL)
		c = addchain(c, (void *)pt)
	     pt = pt->NEXT;
	  }
	  return c;
       }

       addptype - create a ptype and add it to a ptype_list

SYNOPSYS

       #include "mut.h"
       ptype_list *addptype(pthead,type,ptdata)
       ptype_list *pthead;
       void *ptdata;
       long type;

PARAMETERS

       pthead		   Pointer to a ptype list

       type		   Flag indicating the pointer owner

       ptdata		   Generic pointer to any kind of information

DESCRIPTION

       addptype creates a new ptype element and adds it to the front of the list pointed to by pthead, and becomes itself the list head.
       The ptype_lists are mosty used to create lists of homogeneous elements in mbk, but also for trees, graphs, and so on.
       The type argument indicates the pointer type, at the C type meaning, for its owner.
       The types allow to access the pointers with adequat cast, and for example to share informations in the USER fields of mbk structures.
       The ptdata points to any kind of list or may itself be a value, if proper cast is performed at compilation time, and fills the  DATA  field
       of the ptype structure.	For details on the structure, see ptype(3).

RETURN VALUE

       addptype returns a pointer to the new head of list.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mut.h"
       #include "mph.h"
       void corner(ptfig, name)
       phfig_list *ptfig;
       char *name;
       {
       phins_list *i = getphins(ptfig, name);
       num_list *ptnum;
       phfig_list *model;
	  model = getphfig(i->FIGNAME);
	  ptnum = addnum((num_list *)NULL, model->X2 - model->X1);
	  ptnum = addnum(ptnum, model->Y2 - model->Y1);
	  i->USER = addptype(i->USER, (long)PLACEABOX, (void *)ptnum);
       }
