\class QValueVector ntqvaluevector.h
|
|
\brief The QValueVector class is a value-based template class that provides a dynamic array.
|
|
|
|
\ingroup qtl
|
|
\ingroup tools
|
|
\ingroup shared
|
|
\mainclass
|
|
\reentrant
|
|
|
|
QValueVector is a TQt implementation of an STL-like vector
|
|
container. It can be used in your application if the standard \c
|
|
vector is not available for your target platforms. QValueVector is
|
|
part of the \link ntqtl.html TQt Template Library\endlink.
|
|
|
|
QValueVector\<T\> defines a template instance to create a vector
|
|
of values that all have the class T. QValueVector does not store
|
|
pointers to the members of the vector; it holds a copy of every
|
|
member. QValueVector is said to be value based; in contrast,
|
|
QPtrList and QDict are pointer based.
|
|
|
|
QValueVector contains and manages a collection of objects of type
|
|
T and provides random access iterators that allow the contained
|
|
objects to be addressed. QValueVector owns the contained
|
|
elements. For more relaxed ownership semantics, see QPtrCollection
|
|
and friends, which are pointer-based containers.
|
|
|
|
QValueVector provides good performance if you append or remove
|
|
elements from the end of the vector. If you insert or remove
|
|
elements from anywhere but the end, performance is very bad. The
|
|
reason for this is that elements must to be copied into new
|
|
positions.
|
|
|
|
Some classes cannot be used within a QValueVector: for example,
|
|
all classes derived from TQObject and thus all classes that
|
|
implement widgets. Only values can be used in a QValueVector. To
|
|
qualify as a value the class must provide:
|
|
\list
|
|
\i a copy constructor;
|
|
\i an assignment operator;
|
|
\i a default constructor, i.e., a constructor that does not take any arguments.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
Note that C++ defaults to field-by-field assignment operators and
|
|
copy constructors if no explicit version is supplied. In many
|
|
cases this is sufficient.
|
|
|
|
QValueVector uses an STL-like syntax to manipulate and address the
|
|
objects it contains. See \link ntqtl.html this document\endlink for
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
\code
|
|
#include <ntqvaluevector.h>
|
|
#include <ntqstring.h>
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
|
|
class Employee
|
|
{
|
|
public:
|
|
Employee(): s(0) {}
|
|
Employee( const TQString& name, int salary )
|
|
: n( name ), s( salary )
|
|
{ }
|
|
|
|
TQString name() const { return n; }
|
|
int salary() const { return s; }
|
|
void setSalary( int salary ) { s = salary; }
|
|
private:
|
|
TQString n;
|
|
int s;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
int main()
|
|
{
|
|
typedef QValueVector<Employee> EmployeeVector;
|
|
EmployeeVector vec( 3 ); // vector of 3 Employees
|
|
|
|
vec[0] = Employee( "Bill", 50000 );
|
|
vec[1] = Employee( "Steve", 80000 );
|
|
vec[2] = Employee( "Ron", 60000 );
|
|
|
|
Employee joe( "Joe", 50000 );
|
|
vec.push_back( joe ); // vector expands to accommodate 4 Employees
|
|
joe.setSalary( 70000 );
|
|
|
|
EmployeeVector::iterator it;
|
|
for( it = vec.begin(); it != vec.end(); ++it )
|
|
printf( "%s earns %d\n", (*it).name().latin1(), (*it).salary() );
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Program output:
|
|
\code
|
|
Bill earns 50000
|
|
Steve earns 80000
|
|
Ron earns 60000
|
|
Joe earns 50000
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
As you can see, the most recent change to Joe's salary did not
|
|
affect the value in the vector because the vector created a copy
|
|
of Joe's entry.
|
|
|
|
Many TQt functions return const value vectors; to iterate over
|
|
these you should make a copy and iterate over the copy.
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to find items in the vector. The begin()
|
|
and end() functions return iterators to the beginning and end of
|
|
the vector. The advantage of getting an iterator is that you can
|
|
move forward or backward from this position by
|
|
incrementing/decrementing the iterator. The iterator returned by
|
|
end() points to the element which is one past the last element in
|
|
the container. The past-the-end iterator is still associated with
|
|
the vector it belongs to, however it is \e not dereferenceable;
|
|
operator*() will not return a well-defined value. If the vector is
|
|
empty(), the iterator returned by begin() will equal the iterator
|
|
returned by end().
|
|
|
|
The fastest way to access an element of a vector is by using
|
|
operator[]. This function provides random access and will return
|
|
a reference to the element located at the specified index. Thus,
|
|
you can access every element directly, in constant time, providing
|
|
you know the location of the element. It is undefined to access
|
|
an element that does not exist (your application will probably
|
|
crash). For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
QValueVector<int> vec1; // an empty vector
|
|
vec1[10] = 4; // WARNING: undefined, probably a crash
|
|
|
|
QValueVector<TQString> vec2(25); // initialize with 25 elements
|
|
vec2[10] = "Dave"; // OK
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Whenever inserting, removing or referencing elements in a vector,
|
|
always make sure you are referring to valid positions. For
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
void func( QValueVector<int>& vec )
|
|
{
|
|
if ( vec.size() > 10 ) {
|
|
vec[9] = 99; // OK
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The iterators provided by vector are random access iterators,
|
|
therefore you can use them with many generic algorithms, for
|
|
example, algorithms provided by the STL or the \link ntqtl.html
|
|
QTL\endlink.
|
|
|
|
Another way to find an element in the vector is by using the
|
|
std::find() or \link ntqtl.html#qFind tqFind()\endlink algorithms.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
QValueVector<int> vec;
|
|
...
|
|
QValueVector<int>::const_iterator it = tqFind( vec.begin(), vec.end(), 3 );
|
|
if ( it != vector.end() )
|
|
// 'it' points to the found element
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
It is safe to have multiple iterators on the vector at the same
|
|
time. Since QValueVector manages memory dynamically, all iterators
|
|
can become invalid if a memory reallocation occurs. For example,
|
|
if some member of the vector is removed, iterators that point to
|
|
the removed element and to all following elements become
|
|
invalidated. Inserting into the middle of the vector will
|
|
invalidate all iterators. For convenience, the function back()
|
|
returns a reference to the last element in the vector, and front()
|
|
returns a reference to the first element. If the vector is
|
|
empty(), both back() and front() have undefined behavior (your
|
|
application will crash or do unpredictable things). Use back() and
|
|
front() with caution, for example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
QValueVector<int> vec( 3 );
|
|
vec.push_back( 1 );
|
|
vec.push_back( 2 );
|
|
vec.push_back( 3 );
|
|
...
|
|
if ( !vec.empty() ) {
|
|
// OK: modify the first element
|
|
int& i = vec.front();
|
|
i = 18;
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
QValueVector<double> dvec;
|
|
double d = dvec.back(); // undefined behavior
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Because QValueVector manages memory dynamically, it is recommended
|
|
that you contruct a vector with an initial size. Inserting and
|
|
removing elements happens fastest when:
|
|
\list
|
|
\i Inserting or removing elements happens at the end() of the
|
|
vector;
|
|
\i The vector does not need to allocate additional memory.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
By creating a QValueVector with a sufficiently large initial size,
|
|
there will be less memory allocations. Do not use an initial size
|
|
that is too big, since it will still take time to construct all
|
|
the empty entries, and the extra space will be wasted if it is
|
|
never used.
|
|
|
|
Because QValueVector is value-based there is no need to be careful
|
|
about deleting elements in the vector. The vector holds its own
|
|
copies and will free them if the corresponding member or the
|
|
vector itself is deleted. You can force the vector to free all of
|
|
its items with clear().
|
|
|
|
QValueVector is shared implicitly, which means it can be copied in
|
|
constant time. If multiple QValueVector instances share the same
|
|
data and one needs to modify its contents, this modifying instance
|
|
makes a copy and modifies its private copy; it thus does not
|
|
affect the other instances. This is often called "copy on write".
|
|
If a QValueVector is being used in a multi-threaded program, you
|
|
must protect all access to the vector. See QMutex.
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to insert elements into the vector. The
|
|
push_back() function insert elements into the end of the vector,
|
|
and is usually fastest. The insert() function can be used to add
|
|
elements at specific positions within the vector.
|
|
|
|
Items can be also be removed from the vector in several ways.
|
|
There are several variants of the erase() function which removes a
|
|
specific element, or range of elements, from the vector.
|
|
|
|
Vectors can be also sorted with various STL algorithms , or it can
|
|
be sorted using the \link ntqtl.html TQt Template Library\endlink.
|
|
For example with qHeapSort():
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
\code
|
|
QValueVector<int> v( 4 );
|
|
v.push_back( 5 );
|
|
v.push_back( 8 );
|
|
v.push_back( 3 );
|
|
v.push_back( 4 );
|
|
qHeapSort( v );
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
QValueVector stores its elements in contiguous memory. This means
|
|
that you can use a QValueVector in any situation that requires an
|
|
array.
