An item can be instantiated in QAbstractXmlForwardIterator if: \list \o It has a default constructor, a copy constructor, and an assignment operator, and \o It has an appropriate qIsForwardIteratorEnd() function. \endlist @ingroup Patternist_iterators @author Frans Englich */ /*! \typedef QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::Ptr A smart pointer wrapping an instance of a QAbstractXmlForwardIterator subclass. */ /*! \typedef QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::List A QList containing QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::Ptr instances. */ /*! \typedef QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::Vector A QVector containing QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::Ptr instances. */ /*! \fn QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::QAbstractXmlForwardIterator() Default constructor. */ /*! \fn QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::~QAbstractXmlForwardIterator() Destructor. */ /*! \fn T QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::next() = 0; Returns the next item in the sequence, or a null object if the end has been reached. */ /*! \fn T QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::current() const = 0; Returns the current item in the sequence. If this function is called before the first call to next(), a null object is returned. If the end of the sequence has been reached, a null object is returned. */ /*! \fn qint64 QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::position() const = 0; Returns the current position in the sequence represented by \e this. The first position is 1, not 0. If next() hasn't been called, 0 is returned. If \e this has reached the end, -1 is returned. */ /*! \fn bool qIsForwardIteratorEnd(const T &unit) \since 4.4 \relates QAbstractXmlForwardIterator The Callback QAbstractXmlForwardIterator uses for determining whether \a unit is the end of a sequence. If \a unit is a value that would signal the end of a sequence (typically a default constructed value), this function returns \c true, otherwise \c false. This implementation works for any type that has a boolean operator. For example, this function should work satisfactory for pointers. */ /*! \fn qint64 QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::count() \internal Determines the number of items this QAbstractXmlForwardIterator represents. Note that this function is not \c const. It modifies the QAbstractXmlForwardIterator. The reason for this is efficiency. If this QAbstractXmlForwardIterator must not be changed, get a copy() before performing the count. The default implementation simply calls next() until the end is reached. Hence, it may be of interest to override this function if the sub-class knows a better way of computing its count. The number of items in the sequence is returned. */ /*! \fn QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::Ptr QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::toReversed(); \internal Returns a reverse iterator for the sequence. This function may modify the iterator, it can be considered a function that evaluates this QAbstractXmlForwardIterator. It is not a \e getter, but potentially alters the iterator in the same way the next() function does. If this QAbstractXmlForwardIterator must not be modified, such that it can be used for evaluation with next(), use a copy(). */ /*! \fn QList QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::toList(); \internal Performs a copy of this QAbstractXmlForwardIterator(with copy()), and returns its items in a QList. Thus, this function acts as a conversion function, converting the sequence to a QList. This function may modify the iterator. It is not a \e getter, but potentially alters the iterator in the same way the next() function does. If this QAbstractXmlForwardIterator must not be modified, such that it can be used for evaluation with next(), use a copy(). */ /*! \fn T QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::last(); \internal Returns the item at the end of this QAbstractXmlForwardIterator. The default implementation calls next() until the end is reached. */ /*! \fn T QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::isEmpty(); \internal Returns true if the sequence is empty. */ /*! \fn qint64 QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::sizeHint() const; \internal Gives a hint to the size of the contained sequence. The hint is assumed to be as close as possible to the actual size. If no sensible estimate can be computed, -1 should be returned. */ /*! \fn typename QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::Ptr QAbstractXmlForwardIterator::copy() const; \internal Copies this QAbstractXmlForwardIterator and returns the copy. A copy and the original instance are completely independent of each other. Because evaluating an QAbstractXmlForwardIterator modifies it, one should always use a copy when an QAbstractXmlForwardIterator needs to be used several times. */ /*! \class QPatternist::ListIteratorPlatform \brief Helper class for ListIterator, and should only be instantiated through sub-classing. \reentrant \since 4.4 \internal \ingroup xml-tools ListIteratorPlatform iterates an InputList with instances of InputType. For every item in it, it returns an item from it, that is converted to OutputType by calling a function on Derived that has the following signature: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_xmlpatterns_api_qabstractxmlforwarditerator.cpp 0 TODO Document why this class doesn't duplicate ItemMappingIterator. */ /*! \fn QPatternist::ListIteratorPlatform::ListIteratorPlatform(const ListType &list); Constructs a ListIteratorPlatform that walks the given \a list. */ /*! \class QPatternist::ListIterator \brief Bridges values in Qt's QList container class into an QAbstractXmlForwardIterator. \reentrant \since 4.4 \internal \ingroup xml-tools ListIterator takes a reference to a QList instance and allows access to that list via its QAbstractXmlForwardIterator interface. ListIterator is parameterized with the type to iterate over, e.g., Item or Expression::Ptr. ListIterator is used by the ExpressionSequence to create an iterator over its operands. The iterator will be passed to a MappingIterator. */ /*! \fn QPatternist::makeListIterator(const QList &qList) \relates QPatternist::ListIterator An object generator for ListIterator. makeListIterator() is a convenience function to avoid specifying the full template instantiation for ListIterator. Conceptually, it is identical to Qt's qMakePair(). */
