[inline]

Default C++ constructor.

This constructs an array object for an array of TAny pointers with default granularity, which is 8.

RPointerArray(TInt)

RPointerArray

(

TInt

aGranularity

)

[inline, explicit]

C++ constructor with granularity.

This constructs an array object for an array of TAny pointers with the specified granularity.

panic: USER 127, if aGranularity is not positive, or greater than or equal to 0x10000000.

Parameters

TInt aGranularity

The granularity of the array.

RPointerArray(TInt, TInt)

RPointerArray	(	TInt	aMinGrowBy,
		TInt	aFactor
	)	[inline]

C++ constructor with minimum growth step and exponential growth factor.

This constructs an array object for an array of TAny pointers with the specified minimum growth step and exponential growth factor.

panic: USER 192, if aMinGrowBy<=0 or aMinGrowBy>65535.

panic: USER 193, if aFactor<=257 or aFactor>32767.

Parameters

TInt aMinGrowBy	The minimum growth step of the array. Must be between 1 and 65535 inclusive.
TInt aFactor	The factor by which the array grows, multiplied by 256. For example 512 specifies a factor of 2. Must be between 257 and 32767 inclusive.

RPointerArray(TAny **, TInt)

RPointerArray	(	TAny **	aEntries,

	)	[inline]

C++ constructor with a pointer to the first array entry in a pre-existing array, and the number of entries in that array.

This constructor takes a pointer to a pre-existing set of entries of type TAny*, which is owned by another RPointerArray object. Ownership of the set of entries still resides with the original RPointerArray object.

panic: USER 156, if aCount is not positive.

Parameters

TAny ** aEntries	A pointer to the first entry of type TAny* in the set of entries belonging to the existing array.

Member Functions Documentation

Append(const TAny *)

TInt

Append

(

const TAny *

anEntry

)

[inline]

Appends an pointer onto the array.

Parameters

const TAny * anEntry

The pointer to be appended.

AppendL(const TAny *)

void

AppendL

(

const TAny *

anEntry

)

[inline]

Appends an pointer onto the array.

The function leaves with one of the system wide error codes, if the operation fails.

NOTE: This function is NOT AVAILABLE to code running on the kernel side.

Parameters

Array()

TArray < TAny * >

Array

(

)

const [inline]

Constructs and returns a generic array.

TArray

Close()

void

Compresses the array down to a minimum.

After a call to this function, the memory allocated to the array is just sufficient for its contained pointers. Subsequently adding a new pointer to the array always results in a re-allocation of memory.

const [inline]

Finds the first pointer in the array which matches the specified pointer, using a sequential search.

Matching is based on the comparison of pointers.

The find operation always starts at the low index end of the array. There is no assumption about the order of objects in the array.

Parameters

const TAny * anEntry

The pointer to be found.

FindInAddressOrder(const TAny *)

TInt

FindInAddressOrder

(

const TAny *

anEntry

Parameters

const TAny * anEntry	The pointer to be found.
TInt & anIndex	A TInt supplied by the caller. On return, contains an index value: If the function returns KErrNone, this is the index of the matching pointer within the array.

The function assumes that pointers in the array are in address order.

TArrayFindMode

Parameters

const TAny * anEntry	The pointer to be found.
TInt aMode	Specifies whether to find the first match, the last match or any match, as defined by one of the TArrayFindMode enum values.

TArrayFindMode

Parameters

const TAny * anEntry	The pointer to be found.
TInt & anIndex	A TInt type supplied by the caller. On return, it contains an index value depending on whether a match is found and on the value of aMode. If there is no matching element in the array, then this is the index of the first element in the array that is bigger than the element being searched for - if no elements in the array are bigger, then the index value is the same as the total number of elements in the array. If there is a matching element, then what the index refers to depends on the value of aMode: if this is EArrayFindMode_First, then the index refers to the first matching element; if this is EArrayFindMode_Any, then the index can refer to any of the matching elements; if this is EArrayFindMode_Last, then the index refers to first element that follows the last matching element - if the last matching element is also the last element of the array, then the index value is the same as the total number of elements in the array.
