Detailed Description

For use on the stack only: iterates through a the elements of a QoreListNode.

// iterate forward through the list
ListIterator li(l);
while (li.next()) {
    QoreStringValueHelper str(li.getValue());
    printf("%d: '%s'\n", li.index(), str->getBuffer());
}

// iterate backwards through the list
ListIterator li(l);
while (li.prev()) {
    QoreStringValueHelper str(li.getValue());
    printf("%d: '%s'\n", li.index(), str->getBuffer());
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ListIterator() [1/2]

DLLEXPORT ListIterator::ListIterator	(	QoreListNode *	lst,
		size_t	n_pos = -1
	)

initializes the iterator to the position given or, if omitted, just before the first element

Parameters

lst	the list to iterate
n_pos	the starting position (-1 means just before the first element so that the initial call to next() or prev() will put the iterator on the first element)

ListIterator() [2/2]

DLLEXPORT ListIterator::ListIterator	(	QoreListNode &	lst,
		size_t	n_pos = -1
	)

initializes the iterator to the position given or, if omitted, just before the first element

Parameters

lst	the list to iterate
n_pos	the starting position (-1 means just before the first element so that the initial call to next() or prev() will put the iterator on the first element)

Member Function Documentation

getReferencedValue()

DLLEXPORT QoreValue ListIterator::getReferencedValue

(

)

const

returns the referenced value of the list element

Since

Qore 0.9

getValue()

DLLEXPORT QoreValue ListIterator::getValue

(

)

const

returns a pointer to the value of the list element

Deprecated:

do not use; use get() instead

next()

DLLEXPORT bool ListIterator::next

(

)

moves the iterator to the next element, returns true if the iterator is pointing to an element of the list

if the iterator is on the last element, it moves to an invalid position before the first element and returns false note that a subsequent call to next() after it returns false will move the iterator to the first element again (assuming there is at least one element in the list)

Returns

returns true if the iterator has been moved to point to a valid element of the list, false if there are no more elements to iterate

prev()

DLLEXPORT bool ListIterator::prev

(

)

moves the iterator to the previous element, returns true if the iterator is pointing to an element of the list

if the iterator is on the first element, it moves to an invalid position before the first element and returns false note that a subsequent call to prev() after it returns false will move the iterator to the last element again (assuming there is at least one element in the list)

Returns

returns true if the iterator has been moved to point to a valid element of the list, false if there are no more elements to iterate

Note

after this function returns false, do not use the iterator until it points to a valid element, otherwise a crash will result

set()

DLLEXPORT int ListIterator::set

(

size_t

n_pos

)

sets the iterator to a specific position in the list

In the case an invalid position is given (element not present in the list), the iterator will not be pointing to a valid element in the list

Parameters

n_pos

the position in the list to set (first element is position 0)

Returns

0 for OK, -1 for invalid position

Note

if this function returns -1, do not use the iterator until it points to a valid element, otherwise a crash will result
