Detailed Description

This class an iterator class for objects.

Call ObjectKeyReverseIterator::next() to iterate through the object in reverse order; do not use the iterator if ObjectKeyReverseIterator::next() returns False. A object can be iterated in reverse order by calling ObjectKeyReverseIterator::prev() instead of ObjectKeyReverseIterator::next()

Example: ObjectKeyReverseIterator basic usage

class Class1 {
   public {
      int attr1;
      date attr2;
   }
   constructor() {
      attr1 = 1;
      attr2 = now();
   }
}
Class1 o();
 
ObjectKeyReverseIterator it(o);
while (it.next()) {
    printf("iter: %n\n", it.getValue());
}
 
iter: "attr2"
iter: "attr1"

Note

• In general, the ObjectKeyReverseIterator class is not designed to be accessed from multiple threads; it was created without locking for fast and efficient use when used from a single thread. For methods that would be unsafe to use in another thread, any use of such methods in threads other than the thread where the constructor was called will cause an ITERATOR-THREAD-ERROR to be thrown.
• ObjectKeyReverseIterator is functionally equivalent to ObjectKeyIterator, but the effect of ObjectKeyReverseIterator::next() and ObjectKeyReverseIterator::prev() are the opposite of ObjectKeyIterator::next() and ObjectKeyIterator::prev(); that is ObjectKeyReverseIterator::next() will iterate through the object in reverse order, while ObjectKeyReverseIterator::prev() iterates in forward order. Additionally the meanings of the return values for ObjectKeyReverseIterator::first() and ObjectKeyReverseIterator::last() are swapped in respect to ObjectKeyIterator::first() and ObjectKeyIterator::last().

Member Function Documentation

constructor() [1/2]

Qore::ObjectKeyReverseIterator::constructor

(

)

Creates an empty iterator object.

Example:

*object obj = get_object();
ObjectKeyReverseIterator i(obj);

constructor() [2/2]

Qore::ObjectKeyReverseIterator::constructor

(

object

o

)

Creates the object iterator object.

Parameters

o	the object to iterate

Example:

ObjectKeyReverseIterator i(obj);

copy()

Qore::ObjectKeyReverseIterator::copy

(

)

Creates a copy of the ObjectKeyReverseIterator object, iterating the same object as the original and in the same position.

Example:

ObjectKeyReverseIterator ni = i.copy();

getValue()

string Qore::ObjectKeyReverseIterator::getValue ( )

virtual

returns the current key value or throws an INVALID-ITERATOR exception if the iterator is invalid

Returns

the current key value or throws an INVALID-ITERATOR exception if the iterator is invalid

Code Flags:

RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:

ObjectKeyReverseIterator i(obj);
while (i.next())
    printf("key: %s\n", i.getValue());

Exceptions

INVALID-ITERATOR	the iterator is not pointing at a valid element
ITERATOR-THREAD-ERROR	this exception is thrown if this method is called from any thread other than the thread that created the object
