Description

Hello! I love LinkedList on my Arduino Zero. I am using it for some sort of "messaging queue" and even if the LinkedList might not be the smartest way to implement such a queue, it currently works really well.

However: in order to be able to create a "desktop application", that can simulate my Arduino-based device, I decoupled all my hardware adapters and I am working on doing so for the Serial port access, too. I also figured, that the LinkedList is meant for use on Arduino.

Hence my question is: **would this library compile if I were to e.g. build a desktop application with it?**

Sure, it might have some disadvantages over C++'s own implementation, but at least it works on the Arduino device. Would I have to "replace" it in a desktop application (say for MacOS or Windows or Linux)? Or could my application just keep using the LinkedList you provided?

Research direction

Start by inspecting the LinkedList library for Arduino-specific dependencies and attempting to build it in a regular desktop C++ application. Done means documenting whether it compiles on desktop platforms and, if not, identifying the platform-specific limitation.
