.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The TQPtrDict class is a template class that provides a dictionary based on void* keys.
|
|
.PP
|
|
TQPtrDict is implemented as a template class. Define a template instance TQPtrDict<X> to create a dictionary that operates on pointers to X (X*).
|
|
.PP
|
|
A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. The key is a void* used for insertion, removal and lookup. The value is a pointer. Dictionaries provide very fast insertion and lookup.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
TQPtrDict<char> fields; // void* keys, char* values
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
TQLineEdit *le1 = new TQLineEdit( this );
|
|
.br
|
|
le1->setText( "Simpson" );
|
|
.br
|
|
TQLineEdit *le2 = new TQLineEdit( this );
|
|
.br
|
|
le2->setText( "Homer" );
|
|
.br
|
|
TQLineEdit *le3 = new TQLineEdit( this );
|
|
.br
|
|
le3->setText( "45" );
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
fields.insert( le1, "Surname" );
|
|
.br
|
|
fields.insert( le2, "Forename" );
|
|
.br
|
|
fields.insert( le3, "Age" );
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
TQPtrDictIterator<char> it( fields );
|
|
.br
|
|
for( ; it.current(); ++it )
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << it.current() << endl;
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << endl;
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
if ( fields[le1] ) // Prints "Surname: Simpson"
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << fields[le1] << ": " << le1->text() << endl;
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
if ( fields[le2] ) // Prints "Forename: Homer"
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << fields[le2] << ": " << le2->text() << endl;
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
fields.remove( le1 ); // Removes le1 from the dictionary
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << le1->text() << endl; // Prints "Simpson"
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
In this example we use a dictionary to add an extra property (a char*) to the line edits we're using.

.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
|
|
.SH "TQPtrDict::TQPtrDict ( int size = 17 )"
|
|
Constructs a dictionary using an internal hash array with the size \fIsize\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Setting \fIsize\fR to a suitably large prime number (equal to or greater than the expected number of entries) makes the hash distribution better and improves lookup performance.
|
|
.SH "TQPtrDict::TQPtrDict ( const TQPtrDict<type> & dict )"
|
|
Constructs a copy of \fIdict\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Each item in \fIdict\fR is inserted into this dictionary. Only the pointers are copied (shallow copy).
|
|
.SH "TQPtrDict::~TQPtrDict ()"
|
|
Removes all items from the dictionary and destroys it.
|
|
.PP
|
|
All iterators that access this dictionary will be reset.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also setAutoDelete().
|
|
.SH "bool TQPtrCollection::autoDelete () const"
|
|
Returns the setting of the auto-delete option. The default is FALSE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also setAutoDelete().
|
|
.SH "void TQPtrDict::clear ()\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
Removes all items from the dictionary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The removed items are deleted if auto-deletion is enabled.
|
|
.PP
|
|
All dictionary iterators that access this dictionary will be reset.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also remove(), take(), and setAutoDelete().
|
|
.PP
|
|
Reimplemented from TQPtrCollection.
|
|
.SH "uint TQPtrDict::count () const\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
Returns the number of items in the dictionary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also isEmpty().
|
|
.PP
|
|
Reimplemented from TQPtrCollection.
|
|
.SH "type * TQPtrDict::find ( void * key ) const"
|
|
Returns the item associated with \fIkey\fR, or 0 if the key does not exist in the dictionary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be found.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Equivalent to operator[].
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also operator[]().
|
|
.SH "void TQPtrDict::insert ( void * key, const type * item )"
|
|
Inserts the \fIkey\fR with the \fIitem\fR into the dictionary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Multiple items can have the same key, in which case only the last item will be accessible using operator[]().
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIitem\fR may not be 0.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also replace().
|
|
.SH "bool TQPtrDict::isEmpty () const"
|
|
Returns TRUE if the dictionary is empty; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also count().
|
|
.SH "TQPtrDict<type> & TQPtrDict::operator= ( const TQPtrDict<type> & dict )"
|
|
Assigns \fIdict\fR to this dictionary and returns a reference to this dictionary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This dictionary is first cleared and then each item in \fIdict\fR is inserted into the dictionary. Only the pointers are copied (shallow copy), unless newItem() has been reimplemented.
|
|
.SH "type * TQPtrDict::operator[] ( void * key ) const"
|
|
Returns the item associated with \fIkey\fR, or 0 if the key does not exist in the dictionary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be found.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Equivalent to the find() function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also find().
|
|
.SH "TQDataStream & TQPtrDict::read ( TQDataStream & s, TQPtrCollection::Item & item )\fC [virtual protected]\fR"
|
|
Reads a dictionary item from the stream \fIs\fR and returns a reference to the stream.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default implementation sets \fIitem\fR to 0.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also write().
|
|
.SH "bool TQPtrDict::remove ( void * key )"
|
|
Removes the item associated with \fIkey\fR from the dictionary. Returns TRUE if successful, i.e. if \fIkey\fR is in the dictionary; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be removed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The removed item is deleted if auto-deletion is enabled.
|
|
.PP
|
|
All dictionary iterators that refer to the removed item will be set to point to the next item in the dictionary traversal order.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also take(), clear(), and setAutoDelete().
|
|
.SH "void TQPtrDict::replace ( void * key, const type * item )"
|
|
If the dictionary has key \fIkey\fR, this key's item is replaced with \fIitem\fR. If the dictionary doesn't contain key \fIkey\fR, \fIitem\fR is inserted into the dictionary using key \fIkey\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIitem\fR may not be 0.
|
|

|

TQPtrDict<ItemType> dict;
|
|
.br
|
|
...
|
|
.br
|

if ( dict.find( key ) )
|
|
.br
|
|
dict.remove( key );
|
|
.br
|
|
dict.insert( key, item );
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be replaced.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also insert().
|
|
.SH "void TQPtrDict::resize ( uint newsize )"
|
|
Changes the size of the hash table to \fInewsize\fR. The contents of the dictionary are preserved, but all iterators on the dictionary become invalid.
|
|
.SH "void TQPtrCollection::setAutoDelete ( bool enable )"
|
|
Sets the collection to auto-delete its contents if \fIenable\fR is TRUE and to never delete them if \fIenable\fR is FALSE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in a collection are deleted when the collection itself is deleted. This is convenient if the collection has the only pointer to the items.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default setting is FALSE, for safety. If you turn it on, be careful about copying the collection - you might find yourself with two collections deleting the same items.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that the auto-delete setting may also affect other functions in subclasses. For example, a subclass that has a remove() function will remove the item from its data structure, and if auto-delete is enabled, will also delete the item.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also autoDelete().
|
|
.PP
|
|
Examples:
|
|
.)l scribble/scribble.cpp and table/bigtable/main.cpp.
|
|
.SH "uint TQPtrDict::size () const"
|
|
Returns the size of the internal hash table (as specified in the constructor).
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also count().
|
|
.SH "void TQPtrDict::statistics () const"
|
|
Debugging-only function that prints out the dictionary distribution using tqDebug().
|
|
.SH "type * TQPtrDict::take ( void * key )"
|
|
Takes the item associated with \fIkey\fR out of the dictionary without deleting it (even if auto-deletion is enabled).
|
|
.PP
|
|
If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be removed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Returns a pointer to the item taken out, or 0 if the key does not exist in the dictionary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
All dictionary iterators that refer to the taken item will be set to point to the next item in the dictionary traversal order.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also remove(), clear(), and setAutoDelete().
|
|
.SH "TQDataStream & TQPtrDict::write ( TQDataStream & s, TQPtrCollection::Item ) const\fC [virtual protected]\fR"
|
|
Writes a dictionary item to the stream \fIs\fR and returns a reference to the stream.
