 *
 * Log: ubi_BinTree.c,v
 * Revision 4.12  2004/06/06 04:51:56  crh
 * Fixed a small typo in ubi_BinTree.c (leftover testing cruft).
 * Did a small amount of formatting touchup to ubi_BinTree.h.
 *
 * Revision 4.11  2004/06/06 03:14:09  crh
 * Rewrote the ubi_btLeafNode() function.  It now takes several paths in an
 * effort to find a deeper leaf node.  There is a small amount of extra
 * overhead, but it is limited.
 *
 * Revision 4.10  2000/06/06 20:38:40  crh
 * In the ReplaceNode() function, the old node header was being copied
 * to the new node header using a byte-by-byte copy.  This was causing
 * the 'insure' software testing program to report a memory leak.  The
 * fix was to do a simple assignement: *newnode = *oldnode;
 * This quieted the (errant) memory leak reports and is probably a bit
 * faster than the bytewise copy.
 *
 * Revision 4.9  2000/01/08 23:24:30  crh
 * Clarified a variety of if( pointer ) lines, replacing them with
 * if( NULL != pointer ).  This is more correct, and I have heard
 * of at least one (obscure?) system out there that uses a non-zero
 * value for NULL.
 * Also, speed improvement in Neighbor().  It was comparing pointers
 * when it could have compared two gender values.  The pointer
 * comparison was somewhat indirect (does pointer equal the pointer
 * of the parent of the node pointed to by pointer).  Urq.
 *
 * Revision 4.8  1999/09/22 03:40:30  crh
 * Modified ubi_btTraverse() and ubi_btKillTree().  They now return an
 * unsigned long indicating the number of nodes processed.  The change
 * is subtle.  An empty tree formerly returned False, and now returns
 * zero.
 *
 * Revision 4.7  1998/10/21 06:14:42  crh
 * Fixed bugs in FirstOf() and LastOf() reported by Massimo Campostrini.
 * See function comments.
 *
 * Revision 4.6  1998/07/25 17:02:10  crh
 * Added the ubi_trNewTree() macro.
 *
 * Revision 4.5  1998/06/04 21:29:27  crh
 * Upper-cased defined constants (eg UBI_BINTREE_H) in some header files.
 * This is more "standard", and is what people expect.  Weird, eh?
 *
 * Revision 4.4  1998/06/03 17:42:46  crh
 * Further fiddling with sys_include.h.  It's now in ubi_BinTree.h which is
 * included by all of the binary tree files.
 *
 * Reminder: Some of the ubi_tr* macros in ubi_BinTree.h are redefined in
 *           ubi_AVLtree.h and ubi_SplayTree.h.  This allows easy swapping
 *           of tree types by simply changing a header.  Unfortunately, the
 *           macro redefinitions in ubi_AVLtree.h and ubi_SplayTree.h will
 *           conflict if used together.  You must either choose a single tree
 *           type, or use the underlying function calls directly.  Compare
 *           the two header files for more information.
 *
 * Revision 4.3  1998/06/02 01:28:43  crh
 * Changed ubi_null.h to sys_include.h to make it more generic.
 *
 * Revision 4.2  1998/05/20 04:32:36  crh
 * The C file now includes ubi_null.h.  See ubi_null.h for more info.
 * Also, the balance and gender fields of the node were declared as
 * signed char.  As I understand it, at least one SunOS or Solaris
 * compiler doesn't like "signed char".  The declarations were
 * wrong anyway, so I changed them to simple "char".
 *
 * Revision 4.1  1998/03/31 06:11:57  crh
 * Thomas Aglassinger sent E'mail pointing out errors in the
 * dereferencing of function pointers, and a missing typecast.
 * Thanks, Thomas!
 *
 * Revision 4.0  1998/03/10 03:19:22  crh
 * Added the AVL field 'balance' to the ubi_btNode structure.  This means
 * that all BinTree modules now use the same basic node structure, which
 * greatly simplifies the AVL module.
 * Decided that this was a big enough change to justify a new major revision
 * number.  3.0 was an error, so we're at 4.0.
 *
 * Revision 2.6  1998/01/24 06:27:46  crh
 * Added ubi_trCount() macro.
 *
 * Revision 2.5  1997/12/23 03:56:29  crh
 * In this version, all constants & macros defined in the header file have
 * the ubi_tr prefix.  Also cleaned up anything that gcc complained about
 * when run with '-pedantic -fsyntax-only -Wall'.
 *
 * Revision 2.4  1997/07/26 04:11:10  crh
 * + Just to be annoying I changed ubi_TRUE and ubi_FALSE to ubi_trTRUE
 *   and ubi_trFALSE.
 * + There is now a type ubi_trBool to go with ubi_trTRUE and ubi_trFALSE.
 * + There used to be something called "ubi_TypeDefs.h".  I got rid of it.
 * + Added function ubi_btLeafNode().
 *
 * Revision 2.3  1997/06/03 05:16:17  crh
 * Changed TRUE and FALSE to ubi_TRUE and ubi_FALSE to avoid conflicts.
 * Also changed the interface to function InitTree().  See the comments
 * for this function for more information.
 *
 * Revision 2.2  1995/10/03 22:00:07  CRH
 * Ubisized!
 * 
 * Revision 2.1  95/03/09  23:37:10  CRH
 * Added the ModuleID static string and function.  These modules are now
 * self-identifying.
 * 
 * Revision 2.0  95/02/27  22:00:17  CRH
 * Revision 2.0 of this program includes the following changes:
 *
 *     1)  A fix to a major typo in the RepaceNode() function.
 *     2)  The addition of the static function Border().
 *     3)  The addition of the public functions FirstOf() and LastOf(), which
 *         use Border(). These functions are used with trees that allow
 *         duplicate keys.
 *     4)  A complete rewrite of the Locate() function.  Locate() now accepts
 *         a "comparison" operator.
 *     5)  Overall enhancements to both code and comments.
 *
 * I decided to give this a new major rev number because the interface has
 * changed.  In particular, there are two new functions, and changes to the
 * Locate() function.
 *
 * Revision 1.0  93/10/15  22:44:59  CRH
 * With this revision, I have added a set of #define's that provide a single,
 * standard API to all existing tree modules.  Until now, each of the three
 * existing modules had a different function and typedef prefix, as follows:
 *
 *       Module        Prefix
 *     ubi_BinTree     ubi_bt
 *     ubi_AVLtree     ubi_avl
 *     ubi_SplayTree   ubi_spt
 *
 * To further complicate matters, only those portions of the base module
 * (ubi_BinTree) that were superceeded in the new module had the new names.
 * For example, if you were using ubi_SplayTree, the locate function was
 * called "ubi_sptLocate", but the next and previous functions remained
 * "ubi_btNext" and "ubi_btPrev".
 *
 * This was not too terrible if you were familiar with the modules and knew
 * exactly which tree model you wanted to use.  If you wanted to be able to
 * change modules (for speed comparisons, etc), things could get messy very
 * quickly.
 *
 * So, I have added a set of defined names that get redefined in any of the
 * descendant modules.  To use this standardized interface in your code,
 * simply replace all occurances of "ubi_bt", "ubi_avl", and "ubi_spt" with
 * "ubi_tr".  The "ubi_tr" names will resolve to the correct function or
 * datatype names for the module that you are using.  Just remember to
 * include the header for that module in your program file.  Because these
 * names are handled by the preprocessor, there is no added run-time
 * overhead.
 *
 * Note that the original names do still exist, and can be used if you wish
 * to write code directly to a specific module.  This should probably only be
 * done if you are planning to implement a new descendant type, such as
 * red/black trees.  CRH

   *                          still in the tree.
   *                       2) if overwritting *is* allowed, then this
   *                          function will swap **OldNode for *NewNode.
   *                          In this case, *OldNode will point to the node
   *                          that was removed (thus allowing you to free
   *                          the node).

   *                 Note: You may pass NULL in this parameter, the
   *                       function knows how to cope.  If you do this,

   *                       a problem if you are using overwrite mode).
   *
   *  Output:  a boolean value indicating success or failure.  The function
   *           will return FALSE if the node could not be added to the tree.
   *           Such failure will only occur if duplicates are not allowed,

   *                   ubi_trLE - the first key matching FindMe, or
   *                              the last key that is less than
   *                              FindMe.
   *                   ubi_trEQ - the first key matching FindMe.
   *                   ubi_trGE - the first key matching FindMe, or the

   *                   ubi_trGT - the first key greater than FindMe.
   *  Output:
   *     A pointer to the node matching the criteria listed above under
   *     CompOp, or NULL if no node matched the criteria.
   *
   *  Notes:
   *     In the case of trees with duplicate keys, Locate() will behave as
   *     follows:
   *
   *     Find:  3                       Find: 3
   *     Keys:  1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 4 4   Keys: 1 1 2 2 2 4 4 5 5 5 6

   *                 LT EQ        GT                 LE GE
   *
   *     That is, when returning a pointer to a node with a key that is LESS
   *     THAN the target key (FindMe), Locate() will return a pointer to the
   *     LAST matching node.
   *     When returning a pointer to a node with a key that is GREATER
   *     THAN the target key (FindMe), Locate() will return a pointer to the

   *
   *  Output: A pointer to a leaf node, selected in a somewhat arbitrary
   *          manner but with an effort to dig deep.
   *
   *  Notes:  I wrote this function because I was using splay trees as a
   *          database cache.  The cache had a maximum size on it, and I
   *          needed a way of choosing a node to sacrifice if the cache
   *          became full.  In a splay tree, less recently accessed nodes
   *          tend toward the bottom of the tree, meaning that leaf nodes
   *          are good candidates for removal.  (I really can't think of
   *          any other reason to use this function.)
   *        + In a simple binary tree, or in an AVL tree, the most recently
   *          added nodes tend to be nearer the bottom, making this a *bad*
   *          way to choose which node to remove from the cache.
   *        + Randomizing the traversal order is probably a good idea.  You
   *          can improve the randomization of leaf node selection by passing
   *          in pointers to nodes other than the root node each time.  A
   *          pointer to any node in the tree will do.  Of course, if you
   *          pass a pointer to a leaf node you'll get the same thing back.
   *        + In an unbalanced splay tree, if you simply traverse downward
   *          until you hit a leaf node it is possible to accidentally
   *          stumble onto a short path.  The result will be a leaf node
   *          that is actually very high in the tree--possibly a very
   *          recently accessed node.  Not good.  This function can follow
   *          multiple paths in an effort to find a leaf node deeper
   *          in the tree.  Following a single path, of course, is the
   *          fastest way to find a leaf node.  A complete traversal would
   *          be sure to find the deepest leaf but would be very costly in
   *          terms of time.  This function uses a compromise that has
   *          worked well in testing.
