Detailed Description

The SoBaseList class is a container for pointers to SoBase derived objects.

The additional capability of the SoBaseList class over its parent class, SbPList, is to automatically handle referencing and dereferencing of items as they are added or removed from the lists.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoBaseList::SoBaseList void
 

Default constructor.

SoBaseList::SoBaseList const int size
 

Constructor with a hint about the maximum number of pointers in the list.

See also:
SbPList::SbPList(const int)

SoBaseList::SoBaseList const SoBaseList & l
 

Copy constructor. Copy the items of l into this list, adding to the item reference counts if the reference flag of l is TRUE.

See also:
SbPList::SbPList(const SbPList &)

SoBaseList::~SoBaseList
 

Destructor. Dereferences items before freeing resources.


Member Function Documentation

void SoBaseList::append SoBase * ptr
 

Append ptr to list, adding to the reference count of the object (unless addReferences() has been set to FALSE).

See also:
SbPList::append()

void SoBaseList::insert SoBase * ptr,
const int addbefore
 

Insert ptr in the list at position addbefore, adding to the reference count of the object (unless addReferences() has been set to FALSE).

See also:
SbPList::insert()

void SoBaseList::remove const int index
 

Removes item at index from the list, dereferencing the object (unless addReferences() has been set to FALSE).

See also:
SbPList::remove()

Reimplemented in SoChildList.

void SoBaseList::truncate const int length
 

Makes the list contain only the length first items, removing all items from index length and onwards to the end of the list. Dereferences the objects to be removed (unless addReferences() has been set to FALSE).

See also:
SbPList::truncate()

Reimplemented in SoChildList.

void SoBaseList::copy const SoBaseList & l
 

Copy the item pointers of l list into this one, first removing all items in this list.

SoBaseList & SoBaseList::operator= const SoBaseList & l
 

Copy l list into this one, returning a pointer to ourself.

See also:
copy()

SoBase * SoBaseList::operator[] const int i const
 

Returns item pointer at index i. Overloaded from parent class to cast from the void pointer actually stored.

Reimplemented from SbPList.

Reimplemented in SoEngineList, SoNodeList, and SoPathList.

void SoBaseList::set const int i,
SoBase *const ptr
 

Set item pointer at index i to ptr. Overloaded from parent class to provide referencing on the SoBase object.

void SoBaseList::addReferences const SbBool flag
 

Decide whether or not the SoBase items should be automatically referenced and dereferenced as they are added and removed from the list.

Default setting is to do referencing.
