class TSglQueIter : public TSglQueIterBase

Detailed Description

A templated class that provides the behaviour for iterating through a set of singly linked list elements.

The template parameter defines the type of element that forms the singly linked list. The class defined in the template parameter contains the link object.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TSglQueIter ( TSglQueBase & )

TSglQueIter(TSglQueBase &aQue)[inline]

Constructs the iterator for the specified singly linked list.

The iterator can be constructed whether or not the list contains any elements.

If the list does contain elements, the iterator pointer is set to the first one.

If the list has no elements, the iterator pointer is not set and the conversion operator T*() and the post increment operator ++ subsequently return NULL. Once elements have been added to the list, use either the TSglQueIter::Set() function or the TSglQueIterBase::SetToFirst() function to set the iterator pointer.

Parameters
aQueA reference to a singly linked list header.

Member Function Documentation

Set ( T & )

voidSet(T &aLink)[inline]

Sets the iterator to point to a specific element in the list.

This function can be used to alter the pointer at any time during the iterator's existence. The referenced element must be in the list, otherwise the result is undefined.

Parameters
aLinkA reference to the element from where iteration is to continue.

operator T * ( )

operator T *()[inline]

Gets a pointer to the iterators current element.

The operator is normally used implicitly; e.g. some member functions of the list header class TSglQue require a pointer to an element (of type class T) as a parameter, but in practice an iterator is often passed instead. This operator performs the necessary conversion.

operator++ ( TInt )

T *operator++(TInt)[inline]

Gets a pointer to the iterator's current element and then sets the iterator to point to the next element.

Repeated use of this operator allows successive elements to be accessed.

Return Value
A pointer to the current list element, if the iterator points to an element. NULL, if the iterator does not point to an element; i.e. the iterator pointer has reached the end of the list.
