RWTPtrSortedVector<T,C,A> srtvec;

This class maintains an always-sorted pointer-based collection of values, implemented as a vector. Items are ordered according to a comparison object of type C. Class T is the type pointed to by the items in the collection. C must induce a total ordering on elements of type T via a public member

bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y)

which returns true if x should precede y within the collection. The structure less<T> from the C++-standard header file <functional> is an example. Note that items in the collection will be dereferenced before being compared.

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

Isomorphic

In this example, a sorted vector of RWDates is exercised.

//
// tpsrtvec.cpp
//
#include <iostream>

#include <rw/tpsrtvec.h>
#include <rw/tools/datetime.h>

int main()
{
    RWTPtrSortedVector<RWDateTime RWDefCArgs(RWDateTime)> vec;

    vec.insert(new RWDateTime("Aug 10, 1991", RWDateTime::setDate));
    vec.insert(new RWDateTime("Aug 9, 1991", RWDateTime::setDate));
    vec.insert(new RWDateTime("Sep 1, 1991", RWDateTime::setDate));
    vec.insert(new RWDateTime("May 14, 1990", RWDateTime::setDate));
    vec.insert(new RWDateTime("Sep 1, 1991", RWDateTime::setDate)); // Add a duplicate
    vec.insert(new RWDateTime("June 2, 1991", RWDateTime::setDate));

    std::cout << "There are " << vec.entries() << " entries, they are: "
              << std::endl << std::endl;

    for (size_t i = 0; i < vec.length(); ++i)
        std::cout << vec[i]->asString('x') << std::endl;

    vec.clearAndDestroy();

    return 0;
}

Program Output:

There are 6 entries, they are: 

05/14/90
06/02/91
08/09/91
08/10/91
09/01/91
09/01/91

RWTPtrSortedDlist<T,C,A> is an alternative always-sorted pointer-based collection. RWTPtrOrderedVector<T,A> is an unsorted pointer-based vector.

Class std::vector<T*,A<T*> > is the C++ Standard Library collection that serves as the underlying implementation for this class.

RWTPtrSortedVector<T,C,A>();

Constructs an empty vector.

RWTPtrSortedVector<T,C,A> (const vector<T*,A<T*> >& vec); 

Constructs a vector by copying and sorting all elements of vec.

RWTPtrSortedVector<T,C,A> 
  (const RWTPtrSortedVector<T,C,A> & rwvec);

Copy constructor.

RWTPtrSortedVector<T,C,A> (size_type n, T* p);

Constructs a vector with n elements, each initialized to p.

RWTPtrSortedVector<T,C,A> (size_type n);

Constructs an empty vector with a capacity of n elements.

RWTPtrSortedVector<T,C,A> (T** first,T** last);

Constructs a vector by copying and sorted elements from the array of T*s pointed to by first, up to, but not including, the element pointed to by last.

bool
operator<(const RWTPtrSortedVector<T,C,A> & vec) const; 

Returns true if self compares lexicographically less than vec, otherwise returns false. Items in each collection are dereferenced before being compared.

bool
operator==(const RWTPtrSortedVector<T,C,A> & vec) const; 

Returns true if self compares equal to vec, otherwise returns false. Two collections are equal if both have the same number of entries, and iterating through both collections produces, in turn, individual elements that compare equal to each other. Elements are dereferenced before being compared.

reference
operator()(size_type i); 
const_reference
operator()(size_type i) const;

Returns a reference to the ith element of self. Index i must be between 0 and one less then the number of entries, otherwise the results are undefined -- no bounds checking is performed.

reference
operator[](size_type i); 
const_reference
operator[](size_type i) const;

Returns a reference to the ith element of self. Index i must be between 0 and one less then the number of entries in self, otherwise the function throws an exception of type RWBoundsErr.

void
apply(void (*fn)(T*,void*), void* d); 
void
apply(void (*fn)(T*&,void*), void* d);
void
apply(void (*fn)(const T*,void*), void* d) const;

Applies the user-defined function pointed to by fn to every item in the collection. This function must have one of the prototypes:

void yourfun(T* a, void* d); 
void yourfun(T*& a, void* d); 
void yourfun(const T* a, void* d); 

Client data may be passed through parameter d.

reference
at(size_type i); 
const_reference
at(size_type i) const;

Returns a reference to the ith element of self. Index i must be between 0 and one less then the number of entries in self, otherwise the function throws an exception of type RWBoundsErr.

begin();
const_iterator
begin() const;

Returns an iterator positioned at the first element of self.

void
clear();

Clears the collection by removing all items from self.

Removes all items from the collection and uses operator delete to destroy the objects pointed to by those items. Do not use this method if multiple pointers to the same object are stored.

bool

Returns true if there exists an element t in self such that the expression(*t == *a) is true, otherwise returns false.

bool
contains(bool (*fn)(const T*,void*), void* d) const;

Returns true if there exists an element t in self such that the expression ((*fn)(t,d)) is true, otherwise returns false. fn points to a user-defined tester function which must have prototype:

bool yourTester(const T* a, void* d);

Client data may be passed through parameter d.

reference
first();
const_reference
first() const;

Returns a reference to the first element of self. If the collection is empty, the function throws an exception of type RWBoundsErr.

size_type
index(const T* a) const; 

Returns the position of the first item t in self such that (*t == *a), or returns RW_NPOS if no such item exists.

size_type
index(bool (*fn)(const T*,void*), void* d) const;

Returns the position of the first item t in self such that((*fn)(t,d)) is true, or returns RW_NPOS if no such item exists. fn points to a user-defined tester function which must have prototype:
