RWGQueue(type)

Data Type and Member Function Indexes
(exclusive of constructors and destructors)

Synopsis

#include <rw/gqueue.h>
declare(RWGQueue, type)

RWGQueue(type) a ;

Description

Class RWGQueue(type) represents a group of ordered elements, not accessible by an external key. A RWGQueue(type) is a first in, first out (FIFO) sequential list for which insertions are made at one end (the "tail"), but all removals are made at the other (the "head"). Hence, the ordering is determined externally by the ordering of the insertions. Duplicates are allowed. This class is implemented as a singly-linked list. Objects of type RWGQueue(type) are declared with macros defined in the standard C++ header file <generic.h>.

In order to find a particular item within the collection, a user-provided global "tester" function is required to test for a "match", definable in any consistent way. This function should have prototype:

RWBoolean yourTesterFunction(const type* c, const void* d);

The argument c is a candidate within the collection to be tested for a match. The argument d is for your convenience and will be passed to yourTesterFunction(). The function should return TRUE if a "match" is found between c and d.

In order to simplify the documentation below, an imaginary typedef

typedef RWBoolean (*yourTester)(const type*, const void*);

has been used for this tester function.

Persistence
