Note: only returns a non-nullptr list if elements were actually removed; this is the only difference between splice() and extract()

◆ splice() [2/3]

DLLEXPORT QoreListNode* QoreListNode::splice	(	qore_offset_t	offset,
		qore_offset_t	length
	)

removes "length" elements at position "offset" (first element is offset 0) and returns any elements removed from the list as a new list

Parameters

offset	the index of the element (first element is offset 0, negative offsets are offsets from the end of the list)
length	the number of elements to remove (negative numbers mean all except that many elements from the end)

Returns: the elements removed from the list as a new list; if no elements are removed, nullptr is returned

Note: only returns a non-nullptr list if elements were actually removed; this is the only difference between splice() and extract()

◆ splice() [3/3]

DLLEXPORT QoreListNode* QoreListNode::splice	(	qore_offset_t	offset,
		qore_offset_t	length,
		const QoreValue	l,
		ExceptionSink *	xsink
	)

adds a single value or a list of values ("l") to list possition "offset", while removing "length" elements and returns any elements removed from the list as a new list

the "l" AbstractQoreNode (or each element if it is a QoreListNode) will be referenced for the assignment in the QoreListNode

Parameters

offset	the index of the element (first element is offset 0, negative offsets are offsets from the end of the list)
length	the number of elements to remove (negative numbers mean all except that many elements from the end)
l	the value or list of values to insert
xsink	if an error occurs (ex: the type of value to be inserted in the list is not compatible with the list's declared type), the Qore-language exception information will be added here

Returns: the elements removed from the list as a new list; if no elements are removed, nullptr is returned

Note: only returns a non-nullptr list if elements were actually removed; this is the only difference between splice() and extract()
