487 stream updates the entry.

489 Setting a notifier is not usually necessary. It is used to handle
490 certain cases when modifying an archive in a pipeline (i.e. between
491 non-seekable streams).

515 An input iterator template class that can be used to transfer an archive's
516 catalogue to a container. It is only available if wxUSE_STL is set to 1
517 in setup.h, and the uses for it outlined below require a compiler which
518 supports member templates.
7c913512 519
23324ae1
FM
520 @code
521 template class Arc, class T = typename Arc::entry_type*
522 class wxArchiveIterator
523 {
524 // this constructor creates an 'end of sequence' object
525 wxArchiveIterator();
7c913512 526
23324ae1
FM
527 // template parameter 'Arc' should be the type of an archive input stream
528 wxArchiveIterator(Arc& arc) {
4cc4bfaf
FM
529 // ...
530 }
531 };
532 @endcode
7c913512 533
4cc4bfaf 534 The first template parameter should be the type of archive input stream
4cbfec15 535 (e.g. wxArchiveInputStream) and the second can either be a pointer to an entry
3c4f71cc 536 (e.g. wxArchiveEntry*), or a string/pointer pair (e.g. std::pairwxString,
4cbfec15 537 wxArchiveEntry*).
7c913512 538
4cc4bfaf 539 The @c wx/archive.h header defines the following typedefs:
7c913512 540
4cc4bfaf 541 @code
4cbfec15 542 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxArchiveInputStream> wxArchiveIter;
7c913512 543
4cbfec15
FM
544 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxArchiveInputStream,
545 std::pair<wxString, wxArchiveEntry*> > wxArchivePairIter;
4cc4bfaf 546 @endcode
7c913512 547
4cc4bfaf
FM
548 The header for any implementation of this interface should define similar
549 typedefs for its types, for example in @c wx/zipstrm.h there is:
7c913512 550
4cc4bfaf 551 @code
4cbfec15 552 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream> wxZipIter;
7c913512 553
4cbfec15
FM
554 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream,
555 std::pair<wxString, wxZipEntry*> > wxZipPairIter;
4cc4bfaf 556 @endcode
7c913512 557
4cc4bfaf
FM
558 Transferring the catalogue of an archive @e arc to a vector @e cat,
559 can then be done something like this:
7c913512 560
4cc4bfaf 561 @code
4cbfec15 562 std::vector<wxArchiveEntry*> cat((wxArchiveIter)arc, wxArchiveIter());
4cc4bfaf 563 @endcode
7c913512 564
4cc4bfaf
FM
565 When the iterator is dereferenced, it gives away ownership of an entry
566 object. So in the above example, when you have finished with @e cat
567 you must delete the pointers it contains.
7c913512 568
4cc4bfaf 569 If you have smart pointers with normal copy semantics (i.e. not auto_ptr
4cbfec15
FM
570 or wxScopedPtr), then you can create an iterator which uses them instead.
571
572 For example, with a smart pointer class for zip entries @e ZipEntryPtr:
7c913512 573
4cc4bfaf 574 @code
4cbfec15
FM
575 typedef std::vector<ZipEntryPtr> ZipCatalog;
576 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream, ZipEntryPtr> ZipIter;
577 ZipCatalog cat((ZipIter)zip, ZipIter());
4cc4bfaf 578 @endcode
7c913512 579
4cbfec15
FM
580 Iterators that return std::pair objects can be used to populate a std::multimap,
581 to allow entries to be looked up by name.
582 The string is initialised using the wxArchiveEntry object's
583 wxArchiveEntry::GetInternalName function.
7c913512 584
4cc4bfaf 585 @code
4cbfec15
FM
586 typedef std::multimap<wxString, wxZipEntry*> ZipCatalog;
587 ZipCatalog cat((wxZipPairIter)zip, wxZipPairIter());
4cc4bfaf 588 @endcode
7c913512 589
4cc4bfaf
FM
590 Note that this iterator also gives away ownership of an entry
591 object each time it is dereferenced. So in the above example, when
592 you have finished with @e cat you must delete the pointers it contains.
7c913512 593
4cc4bfaf
FM
594 Or if you have them, a pair containing a smart pointer can be used
595 (again @e ZipEntryPtr), no worries about ownership:
7c913512 596
4cc4bfaf 597 @code
4cbfec15
FM
598 typedef std::multimap<wxString, ZipEntryPtr> ZipCatalog;
599 typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream,
600 std::pair<wxString, ZipEntryPtr> > ZipPairIter;
601 ZipCatalog cat((ZipPairIter)zip, ZipPairIter());
