Detailed Description

template<class T, class C>
class RWTQueue< T, C >

Class RWTQueue represents a parameterized queue. Not only can the type of object inserted into the queue be parameterized, but also the implementation.

Parameter T represents the type of object in the queue, either a class or built-in type. The class T must have:

• well-defined copy semantics (T::T(const T&) or equivalent)
• well-defined assignment semantics (T::operator=(const T&) or equivalent)
• any other semantics required by class C.

Parameter C represents the class used for implementation. The class C must provide the following interface (or equivalent):

• void C::append(const T&)
• void C::clear()
• size_t C::entries() const
• T C::first()
• bool C::isEmpty() const
• T C::last()
• T C::removeFirst()
• a default constructor (C::C())
• a copy constructor (C::C(const C&))
• an assignment operator (C& C::operator=(const C&))

These methods must behave in a manner that is consistent with that of RWTValDlist for this class to function as intended.

Useful choices for C are RWTValSlist or RWTValDlist. Vectors, such as RWTValOrderedVector, can also be used, but tend to be less efficient at removing an object from the front of the queue.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <rw/tqueue.h>
#include <rw/cstring.h>
#include <rw/tvslist.h>

int main()
{
    RWTQueue<RWCString, RWTValSlist<RWCString> > q;

    q.insert("one"); // Type conversion occurs
    q.insert("two");
    q.insert("three");

    while (!q.isEmpty()) {
        std::cout << q.get() << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}
