Interface Category:

API.

Inherits From:

TSequenceOf

Inherited By:

None.

Purpose:

TDequeOf in a class you can use to implement a collection of elements that may be managed as a linked list, a stack or a queue. The collection automatically grows in size, as needed, when objects are added.

Instantiation:

Allocate on the heap or the stack.

Deriving Classes:

Do not derive any classes from TDequeOf.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Resource Use:

The amount of memory used by objects of this class depends on the initial size of the collection, the number of objects it contains and how much you attempt to increase the collection's size.

Other Considerations:

None.
