Member Function Documentation

virtual Object* container::Stack::clone

(

bool

deepCopy = false

)

const [pure virtual]

A polymorphic copy constructor.

Implements container::Container.

Implemented in container::StackImpl.

void container::Stack::decCount

(

)

[inline, private]

Hide from sub-classes.

Reimplemented from container::Container.

                          {
      Container::decCount();
   }

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void container::Stack::incCount

(

)

[inline, private]

Hide from sub-classes.

Reimplemented from container::Container.

                          {
      Container::incCount();
   }

Here is the caller graph for this function:

Entity * container::Stack::pop

(

)

Remove the top Entity from the Stack and return a pointer to the Entity.

A template method that calls the pop_impl method of the the derived class.

Returns:

A pointer to the Entity that was removed from the top of the stack

Precondition:

There is at least one item in the Stack

Postcondition:

The Entity (formerly the top item) is not in the list

The caller is responsible for deleting the extracted Entity

The Container's count is lesser by one

If the Stack had 2 or more items, then the formerly 2nd Entity is the top item

If the Stack had only 1 item, then the Stack is empty

                    {
   if (getCount() == 0) {
      return NULL;
   }
   Entity * e = pop_impl();
   decCount();
   return e;
}

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

virtual Entity* container::Stack::pop_impl

(

)

[protected, pure virtual]

Called by a template method.

See also:

Details documented in method pop

Implemented in container::StackImpl.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

int container::Stack::purgeContents

(

)

[virtual]

Empty the contents of the container, deleting all Entities.

This method is used by the destructor.

Returns:

The number of Entity objects deleted

Postcondition:

isEmpty() is true

The memory for all Entities is freed

Implements container::Container.

                         {
   int n = 0;
   for (Entity* e = pop(); e != NULL; e = pop()) {
      delete e;
      n++;
   }
   return n;
}

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void container::Stack::push

(

Entity *

entity

)

Add an Entity onto the top of the Stack.

A template method that calls the push_impl method of the the derived class.

Precondition:

The specified entity pointer is not null

Postcondition:

The specified entity is the top item on the Stack

The Container's count is greater by one

                               {
   if (entity == NULL) {
      return;
   }
   push_impl(entity);
   incCount();
}

Here is the caller graph for this function:

virtual void container::Stack::push_impl

(

Entity *

entity

)

[protected, pure virtual]

Called by a template method.

See also:

Details documented in method push

Implemented in container::StackImpl.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

ostream & container::Stack::renderState

(

ostream &

os

)

const [virtual]

Write the state of an Object for debugging and demonstration.

This method must not change the state of an Object; adding or removing debug statements should not change the behavior of a class. The implementation must be robust, e.g., NULL safe, etc. and work without an unrecoverable error for any state, excluding an Object's time of construction and destruction. It is not required for the implementation to be thread safe.

Precondition:

The Object has been fully constructed and is not in the process of destruction

Postcondition:

The state of the Object is unchanged

Reimplemented from container::Container.

Reimplemented in container::StackImpl.

                                              {
   return this->Container::renderState(os);
}

void container::Stack::setCount

(

int

c

)

[inline, private]

Hide from sub-classes.

Reimplemented from container::Container.

                               {
      Container::setCount(c);
   }

const Object::Info * container::Stack::typeInfo

(

)

const [virtual]

Return the instance of Object::Info that describes the class of this object.

Instantiation of Object::Info is controlled by the protected method Object::typeInfoFactory(const string&). Each sub-class of Object should create one and only one instance of Object::Info.

Reimplemented from container::Container.

Reimplemented in container::StackImpl.

                                        {
   return TYPE_INFO;
}
