Description
ComponentIterator is the base class for
objects that iterate over Components objects. They are
created and returned by the begin()
and end()
methods in the Components class, and should never be created
explicitly. Different subclasses of
ComponentIterator iterate over different
subclasses of Components.
The ComponentIterator class and its
subclasses are not directly available in Python. Iteration in
Python is handled by the ComponentIteratorP class.
Methods
virtual bool operator!=(const ComponentIterator& other) const
Do this ComponentIterator and the
other one point to the same FieldIndex?
It is assumed that they are iterating over the same subclass
of Components. Comparing different types of
ComponentIterator is an error.
Fortunately this should be difficult to do.
virtual FieldIndex* fieldindex() const
Return a pointer to a newly allocated FieldIndex. The value
of the index is determined by the state of the iterator.
IndexP operator*() const
Dereference the iterator, returning an IndexP. The IndexP
wraps the pointer returned by fieldindex().
