treap: make treap_insert return inserted node
Suppose I try the following: struct int_node *node = node_pointer(node_alloc(1)); node->n = 5; treap_insert(&root, node); printf("%d\n", node->n); Usually the result will be 5. But since treap_insert draws memory from the node pool, if the caller is unlucky then (1) the node pool will be full and (2) realloc will be forced to move the node pool to find room, so the node address becomes invalid and the result of dereferencing it is undefined. So we ought to use offsets in preference to pointers for references that would remain valid after a call to treap_insert. Tweak the signature to hint at a certain special case: since the inserted node can change address (though not offset), as a convenience teach treap_insert to return its new address. So the motivational example could be fixed by adding "node =". struct int_node *node = node_pointer(node_alloc(1)); node->n = 5; node = treap_insert(&root, node); printf("%d\n", node->n); Based on a true story.
