Yes there is, there are still special cases where linked lists can be a better alternative. Especially a version with intrusive members (with next/prev pointers as members in your object)

The intrusive linked list doesn't need any extra allocation apart from the object itself which means less fragmentation and small container allocations.

The double linked list has O(1) insert and delete, arrays has not.

The single linked list offer completely lockless variants, which is also completely unbounded.

The intrusive linked list has better performance with everything, except random access.

You can move/splice entire lists without copying.

The linked list performs equally well regardless of number of objects or object size. The performance of arrays depend on this.



As CPUs has progressed the array has become more favorable than the linked list type that is being offered by most standard libraries (the one that must allocate container objects, not intrusive). For most programming practices the array is usually the best. However, there are occasions where the linked list can be worth to be considered.

Why did my replies here to someone else get deleted?

Are you sure it was this thread? What were in those posts? Perhaps they were posted on another thread?

I follow these newsgroups with ThunderBird, which naturally keeps local copies of the posts. I've just gone through all posts in this thread and I see no difference between ThunderBird's cache and the forum interface's cache.

Note that ThunderBird does not delete any post even if a moderator removes a posting from the newsgroup. For example, when a spam gets posted, my ThunderBird will show the post even after it's been deleted from the newsgroup server.

Yeah I am sure it was on this thread. One of the posts was at https://forum.dlang.org/post/kzvnajixjdnlcupslwjb@forum.dlang.org, it now shows 'Not Found'. I just replied to this person who was asking whether or not I was talking about C's `union` type (I was not), and his post and my reply seems to have magically disappeared.

Then I don't know. (?)

However, I realize my ThunderBird "evidence" is useless because if the disapparance happened before my ThunderBird connected since its last time, it wouldn't have a copy of the posts.

(My ThunderBird does not connect automatically especially when the laptop lid is closed. :) )

No worries, hopefully a mod will explain why. I don't like when posts get removed for no reason :|

AI surround us in forum. People want to video chat now. In the time we live in, you can't be sure what to trust!

I received a report of a possible troll in the forums. Looking at the posts collectively, I agreed, so deleted all of them. Whenever we delete a post, we delete subsequent posts that quote them as well.

Please take any further discussion on moderation policies to a new thread in the General forum and let's take this thread back on topic. Thanks!
