Detailed Description

Common base class for all objects that can be formed into a linked list.

This base class is used directly for objects that can be formed into a single linked list. It is also used directly as a type for a pointer to the start of list of objects that are linked together as a list.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Construct base class attached to a chain of objects.

Parameters:
rootpointer to chain of objects we are part of.

Construct base class unattached to anyone.

This might be used to construct intermediary base classes that may form lists through indexing objects.


Member Function Documentation

static unsigned ucommon::LinkedObject::count ( LinkedObject root) [static]

Count the number of linked objects in a list.

Parameters:
rootpointer to list we are counting.

Locate and remove ourselves from a list of objects.

This searches the list to locate our object and if found relinks the list around us.

Parameters:
rootpointer to list we are removing ourselves from.

Add our object to an existing linked list through a pointer.

This forms a container sorted in lifo order since we become the head of the list, and the previous head becomes our next.

Parameters:
rootpointer to list we are adding ourselves to.
static LinkedObject* ucommon::LinkedObject::getIndexed ( LinkedObject root,
unsigned  index 
) [static]

Get member by index.

Returns:
indexed member in linked list.
Parameters:
rootpointer to list we are indexing.
indexmember to find.

Get next effective object when iterating.

Returns:
next linked object in list.

Reimplemented in ucommon::LinkedList, ucommon::NamedObject, ucommon::OrderedObject, and ucommon::ReusableObject.

Definition at line 139 of file linked.h.

Search to see if we are a member of a specific list.

Returns:
true if we are member of the list.
static void ucommon::LinkedObject::purge ( LinkedObject root) [static]

Release all objects from a list.

Parameters:
rootpointer to list we are purging.
virtual void ucommon::LinkedObject::release ( void  ) [virtual]

Release list, mark as no longer linked.

Inherited from base Object.

Implements ucommon::ObjectProtocol.

Reimplemented in ucommon::PagerObject, and ucommon::ReusableObject.

virtual void ucommon::LinkedObject::retain ( void  ) [virtual]

Retain by marking as self referenced list.

Inherited from base Object.

Implements ucommon::ObjectProtocol.
