Stackgo

Stackgo is a slice-based implementation of a simple stack in Go. It uses a pre-alloc pagination strategy which adds little memory overhead to the stack allocation but makes push operations faster than with a classic Stack implementation.

Please NOTE that the current implementation is NOT thread-safe.

Getting started

Import

You can either import this package directly:

import "github.com/alediaferia/stackgo"

or through gopkg.in

import "gopkg.in/alediaferia/stackgo.v1"

Currently only version 1 has been released.

Usage

Using it is pretty straightforward

package main

import (
  "github.com/alediaferia/stackgo"
  "fmt"
)

func main() {
  stack := stackgo.NewStack()

  // Stack supports any type
  // so we just push whatever
  // we want here
  stack.Push(75)
  stack.Push(124)
  stack.Push("Hello World!")

  for stack.Size() > 0 {
    fmt.Printf("Just popped %v\n", stack.Pop())
  }

}

Performance

Contribute

I'd really appreciate contributions, otherwise I wouldn't have made this open :smiley:. Also, if you have suggestions on how to make this perform even faster I'd be really happy to hear about them.
