MAttributePatternArray Class Reference

#include <MAttributePatternArray.h>

Class Description

Indexable Array of attribute patterns.

Provides methods for manipulating arrays of attribute patterns.

Arrays of attribute patterns are used when constructing pattern lists from a string or file description. Since there's no way of knowing in advance how many will be created from a given description this general purpose array was needed.

The length of the array adjusts automatically.

Class Constructor.

Creates an attribute pattern Array

Copy Constructor.

Parameters
[in]otherthe array with which to initialize this instance
MAttributePatternArray ( unsigned int  initialSize,
const MAttributePattern initialValue 
)

Create a new array of MAttributePatterns of a specified size and initialize all the elements with the given initial value.

Parameters
[in]initialSizethe initial size of the array
[in]initialValuethe initial value of each element

Class Destructor.

No additional action.

Member Function Documentation

const MAttributePattern & operator[] ( unsigned int  index) const

Retrieves the read-only attribute pattern which is at the specified index in the array.

Parameters
[in]indexZero-based index to the array
Returns
Attribute pattern at the specified index
MAttributePatternArray & operator= ( const MAttributePatternArray other)

Assignment operator copies all of the elements of the other array into this one.

If the other array was returned as a reference to internal data then this array will also become a reference rather than doing a full copy.

Parameters
[in]otherthe array being copied
Returns
A reference to this array
MStatus set ( const MAttributePattern element,
unsigned int  index 
)

Sets an element of the array to the given attribute pattern.

Parameters
[in]elementNew attribute pattern to be set on the indicated element
[in]indexZero-based index to the array
Returns
MS::kSuccess on success, otherwise MS::kFailure
MStatus setLength ( unsigned int  length)

Set the length of the array.

This will grow and shrink the array as desired. Elements that are grown have uninitialized values, while those which are shrunk will lose the data contained in the deleted elements (ie. it will release the memory).

Parameters
[in]lengththe new size of the array
unsigned int length ( ) const

Determines the number of elements in the array.

Returns
Number of elements in the array
MStatus remove ( unsigned int  index)

Removes the attribute pattern which is at the specified index in the array.

Parameters
[in]indexZero-based index to the array
Returns
MS::kSuccess on success, otherwise MS::kFailure
MStatus insert ( const MAttributePattern element,
unsigned int  index 
)

Inserts the given attribute pattern at the specified index in the array.

Parameters
[in]elementattribute pattern to be inserted
[in]indexZero-based index to the array
Returns
MS::kSuccess on success, otherwise MS::kFailure
MStatus append ( const MAttributePattern element)

Appends the given attribute pattern to the end of the array.

Parameters
[in]elementattribute pattern to be appended
Returns
MS::kSuccess on success, otherwise MS::kFailure
MStatus copy ( const MAttributePatternArray source)

Copy the contents of the source array to this array.

Parameters
[in]sourcearray to copy from
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the copy was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus clear ( )

Clears this array.

Length of the array becomes zero.

Returns
MS::kSuccess on success, otherwise MS::kFailure
void setSizeIncrement ( unsigned int  newIncrement)

Set the size by which the array will be expanded whenever expansion is necessary.

Parameters
[in]newIncrementthe new increment
unsigned int sizeIncrement ( ) const

Return the size by which the array will be expanded whenever expansion is necessary.

Returns
The size increment.
MAttributePattern & operator[] ( unsigned int  index)

Retrieves the attribute pattern which is at the specified index in the array.

Parameters
[in]indexZero-based index to the array
Returns
Attribute pattern at the specified index
const char * className ( )
static

Returns the name of this class.

Returns
The name of this class.
