Detailed Description

template<typename ValueType>
class CDPL::Util::Array< ValueType >

A dynamic array class providing amortized constant time access to arbitrary elements.

Array is essentially a wrapper around std::vector and provides similar (but differently named) methods with the same semantics. Therefore, Array also models a sequence that supports random access to elements, constant time insertion and removal of elements at the end, and linear time insertion and removal of elements at the beginning or in the middle. The number of elements in the array may vary dynamically and memory management is done automatically. However, in contrast to a STL vector, Array provides a virtual destructor which makes it safe to use Array as a public base class. Furthermore, element indices and iterators are generally checked for validity which makes data access safer and bugs easier to detect.

Note
Memory will be reallocated automatically if the current capacity of the array is exceeded. Reallocation does not change the size nor does it change the values of any elements in the array. However, reallocation invalidates any iterators that point into the array and accessing an element via an invalid iterator results in undefined behaviour. To avoid a memory reallocation, reserve() can be used to allocate enough memory in advance.
Template Parameters
ValueTypeThe type of objects stored by the array.

◆ getClassName()

template<typename ValueType >
const char * CDPL::Util::Array< ValueType >::getClassName
protectedvirtual

Returns the name of the (derived) array class.

Overriding this method provides an easy way to customize exception messages with the name of a derived class.

Consider the class MyArray which inherits publicly from Array<int> and overrides getClassName():

class MyArray : public CDPL::Util::Array<int>
{
.....
private:
const char* getClassName() const {
return "MyArray";
}
};
A dynamic array class providing amortized constant time access to arbitrary elements.
Definition: Array.hpp:92
virtual const char * getClassName() const
Returns the name of the (derived) array class.
Definition: Array.hpp:1042

If, for example, the index in an element access is out of bounds, the error message of the thrown Base::IndexError will now start with "MyArray: ...." instead of the default "Array: ....". This small difference already makes the message much more informative and the bug easier to locate.

Returns
The name of the class as a C-string.
