ost::MapIndex - The MapIndex allows linear access into a MapTable, that otherwise could have its elements being retrieved only by key.

The MapIndex allows linear access into a MapTable, that otherwise could have its elements being retrieved only by key.

It can be increased, checked and dereferenced like a pointer, by means of suitable operators.

Index object to access MapTable elements

Creates an empty map index (pointing to nothing).

Creates a map index pointing to a specific map object.

Parameters

the indexed object

Creates a copy of a given map index.

Parameters

the source index object

bool ost::MapIndex::operator!= (const MapIndex & theIndex) const [inline]

bool ost::MapIndex::operator!= (const MapObject * theObject) const [inline]

Dereference operator: the pointed object it is returned as void * for easy re-cast.

Returns

pointer to indexed object.

MapIndex& ost::MapIndex::operator++ ()

Prefix increment operator, to be used in loops and such.

Returns

the object itself, as changed.

MapIndex ost::MapIndex::operator++ (int) [inline]

Postfix increment operator, to be used in loops and such.

Returns

the object itself, as changed.

MapIndex& ost::MapIndex::operator= (MapObject * theObject)

Assignment operator to avoid implicit cast.

Returns

the object itself, as changed.

bool ost::MapIndex::operator== (const MapIndex & theIndex) const [inline]

Comparison operator, between two MapIndex's.

Returns

the object itself, as changed.

bool ost::MapIndex::operator== (const MapObject * theObject) const [inline]

Comparison operator, between the MapIndex and a MapObject, useful to avoid casts for sake of clearness.

Returns

the object itself, as changed.
