RWTPtrSetIterator provides the traditional Tools.h++ iterator interface to the standard library-based collections. (An STL iterator interface is provided through RWTPtrSet::iterator.)

The order of iteration over an RWTPtrSet is dependent on the comparator object supplied as applied to the values stored in the container.

The current item referenced by this iterator is undefined after construction or after a call to reset(). The iterator becomes valid after being advanced with either a preincrement or operator().

For both operator++ and operator(), iterating past the last element will return a value equivalent to boolean false. Continued increments will return a value equivalent to false until reset() is called.

The value type must have operator== and operator< defined. This requirement is imposed by the C++ Standard Library.

RWTPtrSetIterator<T,C,A>(const RWTPtrSet<T,C,A>& s);

Creates an iterator for the set s. The iterator begins in an undefined state and must be advanced before the first element will be accessible

T*
operator()();

Advances self to the next element, dereferences the resulting iterator and returns its value. If the iterator has advanced past the last item in the container, a nil pointer will be returned.

bool
operator++();

Advances self to the next element. If the iterator has been reset or just created self will now reference the first element. If, before iteration, self referenced the last association in the set, self will now reference an undefined value and a value equivalent to false will be returned. Otherwise, a value equivalent to true is returned. Note: no post-increment operator is provided.

RWTPtrSet<T,C,A>*
container() const; 

Returns a pointer to the collection being iterated over.

T*
key() const; 

Returns the stored value pointed to by self. Undefined if self is not referencing a value within the set.

void
reset();
void
reset(RWTPtrSet<T,C,A>& h);

Resets the iterator so that after being advanced it will point to the first element of the collection. Using reset() with no argument will reset the iterator on the current container. Supplying a RWTPtrSet to reset() will reset the iterator on the new container.
