Array Class Reference

template <class T> class Array;

flip::Array is a sequence container, that is its elements are ordered in a strict linear sequence.

Addition, removal and moving the elements within the array or accross arrays does not invalidate the iterators or references.

The Array itself provides support for modification introspection. When modifying the content of the Array, the previous representation of the array is still present, and can be accessed for every elements using the methods added, resident or removed.

This container is used when the elements need to be explicitly ordered.

When elements order can be deduced from their properties (that is an comparing to elements is possible), Collection shall be prefered.

When elements do not have a particular order, then Collection shall be prefered.

Finally when a container needs to have an important number of elements and should be accessed with maximum speed, Vector could be prefered, acknowledging that the latter does not provide very good concurrency and its element are not flip objects.

Member Functions

Constructor

Array ();                     (1)

Array (const Array & other);  (2)

1. Default constructor, constructs an empty container.
2. Copy constructor. Constructs the container with copy of elements of other.

Destructor

~Array ();

Destructor.

operator =

Array & operator = (const Array & other); (1)

Copy assignment operator.

document

DocumentBase & document () const;

Returns the document to which the object is attached to.

ref

const Ref & ref () const;

Returns the unique reference number of the object.

added

bool  added () const;

Returns true iff the object was just attached to the document tree.

Example :

void  Observer::document_changed (Note & note)

{

   if (note.added ())

   {

      // A note was added to the document. Create the corresponding

      // view element

      note.entity ().emplace <NoteView> ();

   }

   [...]

}

removed

bool  removed () const;

Returns true iff the object was just detached from the document tree.

Example :

void  Observer::document_changed (Note & note)

{

   [...]

   if (note.removed ())

   {

      // A note was removed from the document. Release the corresponding

      // view element

      note.entity ().erase <NoteView> ();

   }

}

resident

bool  resident () const;

Returns true iff the object was neither attached nor detached from the document tree.

An object can be resident but moved. In this case the iterator pointing to it will allow to detect the move.

Example :

void  Observer::document_changed (Array <Track> & tracks)

{

   auto it = tracks.begin ();

   auto it_end = tracks.end ();

   for (; it != it_end ; ++it)

   {

      Track & track = *it;

      if (it.added () && track.resident ())

      {

         // the track was moved in the container

         // this is the destination position

      }

      if (it.added () && track.resident ())

      {

         // the track was moved in the container

         // this is the source position

      }

   }

}

changed

bool  changed () const;

Returns true iff the object or one of its children was modified.

Example :

void  Observer::document_changed (Note & note)

{

   auto & view = note.entity ().use <ViewNote> ();

   if (note.changed ())

   {

      // one or more properties of the note changed

      if (note.position.changed ())

      {

         view.set_position (note.position);

      }

      if (note.duration.changed ())

      {

         view.set_duration (note.duration);

      }

   }

}

ancestor

template <class T>   T &   ancestor ();

template <class T>   const T &   ancestor () const;

Returns a reference to a parent in the current parent chain of the object.

disable_in_undo

void   disable_in_undo ();

Disables the record state modification in history of the object and its subtree if any.

Example :

void  add_user (Root & root)

{

   // emplace a new User of the document to store

   // user specific data. User is constructed with

   // the unique user id number given at document

   // creation

   User & user = root.users.emplace <User> (root.document ().user ());

   // we don't want the scroll position in the document

   // to be part of undo

   user.scroll_position.disable_in_undo ();

}

inherit_in_undo

void   inherit_in_undo ();

Inherits the record state modification in history of the object and its subtree if any, from its parent state. This is the default mode.

is_in_undo_enabled

bool  is_in_undo_enabled () const;

Returns true iff this object modifications are recorded in history. The function recursively search for disabled state starting from the object itself and navigating through the parent objects, if the state is inherited.

revert

void  revert () const;

Reverts all the changes make to the object and its children if any.

Example :

// initially, note.position == 1

note.position = 2;

note.revert ();

// now, note.position == 1

assign

void  assign (const Type & rhs);

Replaces the content of the object with the content of the provided object. Both objects need to be bound to a document for the function to succeed.

Example :

// initially :

// note.position == 1

// note.duration == 3

// note2.position == 2

// note2.duration == 1

note.assign (note2);

// now :

// note.position == 2

// note.duration == 1

begin cbegin

const_array_iterator gbegin () const;

const_array_iterator gcbegin () const;

gend gcend

array_iterator       gend ();

const_array_iterator gend () const;

const_array_iterator gcend () const;

clear

Removes all the elements from the container.

This is equivalent to calling erase on every non-removed element of the container.

erase

iterator erase (iterator it);                (1)

void  erase (iterator it, iterator it_end);  (2)
