A List is a sequential collection of elements. The element type is given as an arbitrary
parser. The list is more flexible than a vector: It is not limited to fixed-size elements
- and it might not have direct access to the size of the collection.
+ and it might not have direct access to the size of the collection.
The cost is however, that a List is only a model of an STL forward sequence. The parser
provides a reduced interface to this sequence, the container wrapper provides the complete
interface.

+ /** \brief Define ListParser field
+
+ This macro is a special helper to define a senf::ListParser type field, a list of elements
+ of type \a elt_type (a parser) which size is determined by \a size.
+
+ \code
+ // The size field should be declared private or read-only (size is accessible via the list)
+ SENF_PARSER_PRIVATE_FIELD ( list_size_, senf::UInt16Parser );
+ // Define the list
+ SENF_PARSER_LIST ( list, list_size_, EltParser );
+ \endcode
+ Here \c EltParser can be an arbitrary parser and need not have a fixed size.
+
+ \warning Realize, that the \a size field is controlled by the list parser. This field
+ should therefore be declared either read-only or private and must be changed only via
+ the list parser.
+
+ Further additional tags are supported which modify the type of list created:
+
+ <table class="senf fixedcolumn">
+ <tr><td>\c bytes(\a size)</td><td>\a size gives the size of the list in bytes not the
+ number of contained elements</td></tr>
+
+ <tr><td>\c packetSize()</td><td>Use the size of the packet to get the list size. The
+ list will occupy all space up to the end of the packet.</td></tr>
+
+ <tr><td>\c transform(\a transform, \a size)</td><td>The \a transform is applied to the \a
+ size value, the value is not used directly</td>
+
+ <tr><td>\c transform(\a transform, \c bytes(\a size))</td><td>The \a transform is applied to
+ the \a size value. The value is then interpreted containing the list size in bytes not
+ number of elements</td>
+ </table>
+
+ The optional \a transform is a class with the following layout
+ \code
+ struct MyTransform
+ {
+ typedef ... value_type;
+ static value_type get(other_type v);
+ static other_type set(value_type v);
+ };
+ \endcode
+
+ \c other_type is \a size ::\c value_type, the type of the value returned by the \a size
+ field, whereas the \c value_type typedef is the arbitrary return type of the transform.
+
+ The tags are applied to the \a size parameter:
+ \code
+ SENF_PARSER_LIST ( list, transform(MyTransform, list_size_), EltParser );
+ \endcode
+
+ \warning There are some caveats when working with \c bytes() type lists:
+ \li You may <b>only change the size of a contained element from a container wrapper</b>.
+ \li While you hold a container wrapper, <b>only access the packet through this wrapper</b>
+ or a nested wrapper either for reading or writing.
+
+ \warning If lists are nested, you need to allocate a container wrapper for each level and
+ may only access the packet through the lowest-level active container wrapper.
+
+ \implementation These restrictions are necessary to ensure correct recalculation of the
+ <tt>bytes</tt> field. For more info, see the comments in \ref ListBParser.ih
