13 This is an abstract base class which serves as a common interface to
14 archive input streams such as wxZipInputStream.
15
16 wxArchiveInputStream::GetNextEntry returns an wxArchiveEntry object containing
17 the meta-data for the next entry in the archive (and gives away ownership).

20 becomes @true after an attempt has been made to read past the end of the
21 entry's data.
22
23 When there are no more entries, GetNextEntry() returns @NULL and sets Eof().

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