11 | This section describes the so called @e "dynamic arrays". This is a C | |
12 | array-like type safe data structure i.e. the member access time is constant | |
13 | (and not linear according to the number of container elements as for linked | |
14 | lists). However, these arrays are dynamic in the sense that they will | |
15 | automatically allocate more memory if there is not enough of it for adding | |
16 | a new element. They also perform range checking on the index values but in | |
17 | debug mode only, so please be sure to compile your application in debug | |
18 | mode to use it (see @ref overview_debugging for details). So, unlike the | |
19 | arrays in some other languages, attempt to access an element beyond the | |
20 | arrays bound doesn't automatically expand the array but provokes an | |
21 | assertion failure instead in debug build and does nothing (except possibly | |
22 | crashing your program) in the release build. | |
23 | ||
24 | The array classes were designed to be reasonably efficient, both in terms | |
25 | of run-time speed and memory consumption and the executable size. The speed | |
26 | of array item access is, of course, constant (independent of the number of | |
27 | elements) making them much more efficient than linked lists (wxList). | |
28 | Adding items to the arrays is also implemented in more or less constant | |
29 | time, but the price is preallocating the memory in advance. In the | |
30 | "memory management" function section, you may find some useful hints about | |
31 | optimizing wxArray memory usage. As for executable size, all wxArray | |
32 | functions are inline, so they do not take @e any space at all. | |
33 | ||
34 | wxWidgets has three different kinds of array. All of them derive from | |
35 | wxBaseArray class which works with untyped data and can not be used | |
36 | directly. The standard macros WX_DEFINE_ARRAY(), WX_DEFINE_SORTED_ARRAY() | |
37 | and WX_DEFINE_OBJARRAY() are used to define a new class deriving from it. | |
38 | The classes declared will be called in this documentation wxArray, | |
39 | wxSortedArray and wxObjArray but you should keep in mind that no classes | |
40 | with such names actually exist, each time you use one of the | |
41 | WX_DEFINE_XXXARRAY() macros, you define a class with a new name. In fact, | |
42 | these names are "template" names and each usage of one of the macros | |
43 | mentioned above creates a template specialization for the given element | |
44 | type. | |
45 | ||
46 | wxArray is suitable for storing integer types and pointers which it does | |
47 | not treat as objects in any way, i.e. the element pointed to by the pointer | |
48 | is not deleted when the element is removed from the array. It should be | |
49 | noted that all of wxArray's functions are inline, so it costs strictly | |
50 | nothing to define as many array types as you want (either in terms of the | |
51 | executable size or the speed) as long as at least one of them is defined | |
52 | and this is always the case because wxArrays are used by wxWidgets | |
53 | internally. This class has one serious limitation: it can only be used for | |
54 | storing integral types (bool, char, short, int, long and their unsigned | |
55 | variants) or pointers (of any kind). An attempt to use with objects of | |
56 | @c sizeof() greater than @c sizeof(long) will provoke a runtime assertion | |
57 | failure, however declaring a wxArray of floats will not (on the machines | |
58 | where @c "sizeof(float) <= sizeof(long)"), yet it will @b not work, please | |
59 | use wxObjArray for storing floats and doubles. | |
60 | ||
61 | wxSortedArray is a wxArray variant which should be used when searching in | |
62 | the array is a frequently used operation. It requires you to define an | |
63 | additional function for comparing two elements of the array element type | |
64 | and always stores its items in the sorted order (according to this | |
65 | function). Thus, its Index() function execution time is @c "O(log(N))" | |
66 | instead of @c "O(N)" for the usual arrays but the Add() method is slower: | |
67 | it is @c "O(log(N))" instead of constant time (neglecting time spent in | |
68 | memory allocation routine). However, in a usual situation elements are | |
69 | added to an array much less often than searched inside it, so wxSortedArray | |
70 | may lead to huge performance improvements compared to wxArray. Finally, it | |
71 | should be noticed that, as wxArray, wxSortedArray can be only used for | |
72 | storing integral types or pointers. | |
73 | ||
74 | wxObjArray class treats its elements like "objects". It may delete them | |
75 | when they are removed from the array (invoking the correct destructor) and | |
76 | copies them using the objects copy constructor. In order to implement this | |
77 | behaviour the definition of the wxObjArray arrays is split in two parts: | |
78 | first, you should declare the new wxObjArray class using the | |
79 | WX_DECLARE_OBJARRAY() macro and then you must include the file defining the | |
80 | implementation of template type: @<wx/arrimpl.cpp@> and define the array | |
81 | class with the WX_DEFINE_OBJARRAY() macro from a point where the full (as | |
82 | opposed to 'forward') declaration of the array elements class is in scope. | |
83 | As it probably sounds very complicated here is an example: | |
84 | ||
85 | @code | |
86 | #include <wx/dynarray.h> | |
87 | ||
88 | // We must forward declare the array because it is used | |
89 | // inside the class declaration. | |
90 | class MyDirectory; | |
91 | class MyFile; | |
92 | ||
93 | // This defines two new types: ArrayOfDirectories and ArrayOfFiles which | |
94 | // can be now used as shown below. | |
95 | WX_DECLARE_OBJARRAY(MyDirectory, ArrayOfDirectories); | |
96 | WX_DECLARE_OBJARRAY(MyFile, ArrayOfFiles); | |
97 | ||
98 | class MyDirectory | |
99 | { | |
100 | // ... | |
101 | ArrayOfDirectories m_subdirectories; // All subdirectories | |
102 | ArrayOfFiles m_files; // All files in this directory | |
103 | }; | |
104 | ||
105 | // ... | |
106 | ||
107 | // Now that we have MyDirectory declaration in scope we may finish the | |
108 | // definition of ArrayOfDirectories -- note that this expands into some C++ | |
109 | // code and so should only be compiled once (i.e., don't put this in the | |
110 | // header, but into a source file or you will get linking errors) | |
111 | #include <wx/arrimpl.cpp> // This is a magic incantation which must be done! | |
112 | WX_DEFINE_OBJARRAY(ArrayOfDirectories); | |
113 | ||
114 | // that's all! | |
115 | @endcode | |
116 | ||
117 | It is not as elegant as writing this: | |
118 | ||
119 | @code | |
120 | typedef std::vector<MyDirectory> ArrayOfDirectories; | |
121 | @endcode | |
122 | ||
123 | But is not that complicated and allows the code to be compiled with any, | |
124 | however dumb, C++ compiler in the world. | |
125 | ||
126 | Remember to include @<wx/arrimpl.cpp@> just before each | |
127 | WX_DEFINE_OBJARRAY() ocurrence in your code, even if you have several in | |
128 | the same file. | |
129 | ||
130 | Things are much simpler for wxArray and wxSortedArray however: it is enough | |
131 | just to write: | |
132 | ||
133 | @code | |
134 | WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT(int, ArrayOfInts); | |
135 | WX_DEFINE_SORTED_ARRAY_INT(int, ArrayOfSortedInts); | |
136 | @endcode | |
137 | ||
138 | There is only one @c DEFINE macro and no need for separate @c DECLARE one. | |
139 | For the arrays of the primitive types, the macros | |
140 | @c WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_CHAR/SHORT/INT/SIZE_T/LONG/DOUBLE should be used | |
141 | depending on the sizeof of the values (notice that storing values of | |
142 | smaller type, e.g. shorts, in an array of larger one, e.g. @c ARRAY_INT, | |
143 | does not work on all architectures!). | |
144 | ||
145 | ||
146 | @section array_macros Macros for Template Array Definition | |
147 | ||
148 | To use an array you must first define the array class. This is done with | |
149 | the help of the macros in this section. The class of array elements must be | |
150 | (at least) forward declared for WX_DEFINE_ARRAY(), WX_DEFINE_SORTED_ARRAY() | |
151 | and WX_DECLARE_OBJARRAY() macros and must be fully declared before you use | |
152 | WX_DEFINE_OBJARRAY() macro. | |
153 | ||
154 | - WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() | |
155 | - WX_DEFINE_EXPORTED_ARRAY() | |
156 | - WX_DEFINE_USER_EXPORTED_ARRAY() | |
157 | - WX_DEFINE_SORTED_ARRAY() | |
158 | - WX_DEFINE_SORTED_EXPORTED_ARRAY() | |
159 | - WX_DEFINE_SORTED_USER_EXPORTED_ARRAY() | |
160 | - WX_DECLARE_EXPORTED_OBJARRAY() | |
161 | - WX_DECLARE_USER_EXPORTED_OBJARRAY() | |
162 | - WX_DEFINE_OBJARRAY() | |
163 | - WX_DEFINE_EXPORTED_OBJARRAY() | |
164 | - WX_DEFINE_USER_EXPORTED_OBJARRAY() | |
165 | ||
166 | To slightly complicate the matters even further, the operator "->" defined | |
167 | by default for the array iterators by these macros only makes sense if the | |
168 | array element type is not a pointer itself and, although it still works, | |
169 | this provokes warnings from some compilers and to avoid them you should use | |
170 | the @c _PTR versions of the macros above. For example, to define an array | |
171 | of pointers to @c double you should use: | |
172 | ||
173 | @code | |
174 | WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_PTR(double *, MyArrayOfDoublePointers); | |
175 | @endcode | |
176 | ||
177 | Note that the above macros are generally only useful for wxObject types. | |
178 | There are separate macros for declaring an array of a simple type, such as | |
179 | an int. | |
180 | ||
181 | The following simple types are supported: | |
182 | - @c int | |
183 | - @c long | |
184 | - @c size_t | |
185 | - @c double | |
186 | ||
187 | To create an array of a simple type, simply append the type you want in | |
188 | CAPS to the array definition. | |
189 | ||
190 | For example, you'd use one of the following variants for an integer array: | |
191 | ||
192 | - WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT() | |
193 | - WX_DEFINE_EXPORTED_ARRAY_INT() | |
194 | - WX_DEFINE_USER_EXPORTED_ARRAY_INT() | |
195 | - WX_DEFINE_SORTED_ARRAY_INT() | |
196 | - WX_DEFINE_SORTED_EXPORTED_ARRAY_INT() | |
197 | - WX_DEFINE_SORTED_USER_EXPORTED_ARRAY_INT() | |
198 | ||
199 | ||
200 | @section array_predef Predefined array types | |
201 | ||
202 | wxWidgets defines the following dynamic array types: | |
203 | - ::wxArrayShort | |
204 | - ::wxArrayInt | |
205 | - ::wxArrayDouble | |
206 | - ::wxArrayLong | |
207 | - ::wxArrayPtrVoid | |
208 | ||
209 | To use them you don't need any macro; you just need to include @c dynarray.h. | |
