Define a template instance QIntDict<X> to create a dictionary that operates on pointers to X (X*). +.PP +A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. The key is an \fClong\fR used for insertion, removal and lookup. The value is a pointer. Dictionaries provide very fast insertion and lookup. +.PP +Example: +.PP +.nf +.br + QIntDict<QLineEdit> fields; // long int keys, QLineEdit* values +.br + for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ ) +.br + fields.insert( i, new QLineEdit( this ) ); +.br +.br + fields[0]->setText( "Homer" ); +.br + fields[1]->setText( "Simpson" ); +.br + fields[2]->setText( "45" ); +.br +.br + QIntDictIterator<QLineEdit> it( fields ); +.br + for ( ; it.current(); ++it ) +.br + cout << it.currentKey() << ": " << it.current()->text() << endl; +.br +.br + for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ ) +.br + cout << fields[i]->text() << " "; // Prints "Homer Simpson 45" +.br + cout << endl; +.br +.br + fields.remove( 1 ); // Does not delete the line edit +.br + for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ ) +.br + if ( fields[i] ) +.br + cout << fields[i]->text() << " "; // Prints "Homer 45" +.br +.fi +.PP +See QDict for full details, including the choice of dictionary size, and how deletions are handled. +.PP +See also QIntDictIterator, QDict, QAsciiDict, QPtrDict, Collection Classes, Collection Classes, and Non-GUI Classes. +.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION +.SH "QIntDict::QIntDict ( int size = 17 )" +Constructs a dictionary using an internal hash array of size \fIsize\fR. +.PP +Setting \fIsize\fR to a suitably large prime number (equal to or greater than the expected number of entries) makes the hash distribution better which leads to faster lookup. +.SH "QIntDict::QIntDict ( const QIntDict<type> & dict )" +Constructs a copy of \fIdict\fR. +.PP +Each item in \fIdict\fR is inserted into this dictionary. Only the pointers are copied (shallow copy). +.SH "QIntDict::~QIntDict ()" +Removes all items from the dictionary and destroys it. +.PP +All iterators that access this dictionary will be reset. +.PP +See also setAutoDelete(). +.SH "bool QPtrCollection::autoDelete () const" +Returns the setting of the auto-delete option. The default is FALSE. +.PP +See also setAutoDelete(). +.SH "void QIntDict::clear ()\fC [virtual]\fR" +Removes all items from the dictionary. +.PP +The removed items are deleted if auto-deletion is enabled. +.PP +All dictionary iterators that access this dictionary will be reset. +.PP +See also remove(), take(), and setAutoDelete(). +.PP +Reimplemented from QPtrCollection. +.SH "uint QIntDict::count () const\fC [virtual]\fR" +Returns the number of items in the dictionary. +.PP +See also isEmpty(). +.PP +Reimplemented from QPtrCollection. +.SH "type * QIntDict::find ( long key ) const" +Returns the item associated with \fIkey\fR, or 0 if the key does not exist in the dictionary. +.PP +If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be found. +.PP +Equivalent to operator[]. +.PP +See also operator[](). +.PP +Example: table/bigtable/main.cpp. +.SH "void QIntDict::insert ( long key, const type * item )" +Insert item \fIitem\fR into the dictionary using key \fIkey\fR. +.PP +Multiple items can have the same key, in which case only the last item will be accessible using operator[](). +.PP +\fIitem\fR may not be 0. +.PP +See also replace(). +.PP +Example: scribble/scribble.cpp. +.SH "bool QIntDict::isEmpty () const" +Returns TRUE if the dictionary is empty; otherwise returns FALSE. +.PP +See also count(). +.SH "QIntDict<type> & QIntDict::operator= ( const QIntDict<type> & dict )" +Assigns \fIdict\fR to this dictionary and returns a reference to this dictionary. +.PP +This dictionary is first cleared and then each item in \fIdict\fR is inserted into this dictionary. Only the pointers are copied (shallow copy), unless newItem() has been reimplemented. +.SH "type * QIntDict::operator[] ( long key ) const" +Returns the item associated with \fIkey\fR, or 0 if the key does not exist in the dictionary. +.PP +If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be found. +.PP +Equivalent to the find() function. +.PP +See also find(). +.SH "QDataStream & QIntDict::read ( QDataStream & s, QPtrCollection::Item & item )\fC [virtual protected]\fR" +Reads a dictionary item from the stream \fIs\fR and returns a reference to the stream. +.PP +The default implementation sets \fIitem\fR to 0. +.PP +See also write(). +.SH "bool QIntDict::remove ( long key )" +Removes the item associated with \fIkey\fR from the dictionary. Returns TRUE if successful, i.e. if the \fIkey\fR is in the dictionary; otherwise returns FALSE. +.PP +If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be removed. +.PP +The removed item is deleted if auto-deletion is enabled. +.PP +All dictionary iterators that refer to the removed item will be set to point to the next item in the dictionary's traversal order. +.PP +See also take(), clear(), and setAutoDelete(). +.PP +Example: table/bigtable/main.cpp. +.SH "void QIntDict::replace ( long key, const type * item )" +If the dictionary has key \fIkey\fR, this key's item is replaced with \fIitem\fR. If the dictionary doesn't contain key \fIkey\fR, \fIitem\fR is inserted into the dictionary using key \fIkey\fR. +.PP +\fIitem\fR may not be 0. +.PP +Equivalent to: +.PP +.nf +.br + QIntDict<char> dict; +.br + // ... +.br + if ( dict.find(key) ) +.br + dict.remove( key ); +.br + dict.insert( key, item ); +.br +.fi +.PP +If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be replaced. +.PP +See also insert(). +.PP +Example: table/bigtable/main.cpp. +.SH "void QIntDict::resize ( uint newsize )" +Changes the size of the hashtable to \fInewsize\fR. The contents of the dictionary are preserved, but all iterators on the dictionary become invalid. +.SH "void QPtrCollection::setAutoDelete ( bool enable )" +Sets the collection to auto-delete its contents if \fIenable\fR is TRUE and to never delete them if \fIenable\fR is FALSE. +.PP +If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in a collection are deleted when the collection itself is deleted. This is convenient if the collection has the only pointer to the items. +.PP +The default setting is FALSE, for safety. If you turn it on, be careful about copying the collection - you might find yourself with two collections deleting the same items. +.PP +Note that the auto-delete setting may also affect other functions in subclasses. For example, a subclass that has a remove() function will remove the item from its data structure, and if auto-delete is enabled, will also delete the item. +.PP +See also autoDelete(). +.PP +Examples: +.)l grapher/grapher.cpp, scribble/scribble.cpp, and table/bigtable/main.cpp. +.SH "uint QIntDict::size () const" +Returns the size of the internal hash array (as specified in the constructor). +.PP +See also count(). +.SH "void QIntDict::statistics () const" +Debugging-only function that prints out the dictionary distribution using tqDebug(). +.SH "type * QIntDict::take ( long key )" +Takes the item associated with \fIkey\fR out of the dictionary without deleting it (even if auto-deletion is enabled). +.PP +If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be taken. +.PP +Returns a pointer to the item taken out, or 0 if the key does not exist in the dictionary. +.PP +All dictionary iterators that refer to the taken item will be set to point to the next item in the dictionary's traversing order. +.PP +See also remove(), clear(), and setAutoDelete(). +.PP +Example: table/bigtable/main.cpp. +.SH "QDataStream & QIntDict::write ( QDataStream & s, QPtrCollection::Item ) const\fC [virtual protected]\fR" +Writes a dictionary item to the stream \fIs\fR and returns a reference to the stream. +.PP +See also read(). + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR http://doc.trolltech.com/ntqintdict.html +.BR http://www.trolltech.com/faq/tech.html +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright 1992-2007 Trolltech ASA, http://www.trolltech.com.
