Ultralightweight C++ implementation of a void* vector * that is (mostly) compatible with java.util.Vector. * *
This is a very simple implementation, written to satisfy an * immediate porting need. As such, it is not completely fleshed out, * and it aims for simplicity and conformity. Nonetheless, it serves * its purpose (porting code from java that uses java.util.Vector) * well, and it could be easily made into a more robust vector class. * *
Design notes * *
There is index bounds checking, but little is done about it. If * indices are out of bounds, either nothing happens, or zero is * returned. We do avoid indexing off into the weeds. * *
There is detection of out of memory, but the handling is very * coarse-grained -- similar to UnicodeString's protocol, but even * coarser. The class contains one static flag that is set * when any call to new returns zero. This allows the caller * to use several vectors and make just one check at the end to see if * a memory failure occurred. This is more efficient than making a * check after each call on each vector when doing many operations on * multiple vectors. The single static flag works best when memory * failures are infrequent, and when recovery options are limited or * nonexistent. * *
Since we don't have garbage collection, UVector was given the * option to ownits contents. To employ this, set a deleter * function. The deleter is called on a void* pointer when that * pointer is released by the vector, either when the vector itself is * destructed, or when a call to setElementAt() overwrites an element, * or when a call to remove() or one of its variants explicitly * removes an element. If no deleter is set, or the deleter is set to * zero, then it is assumed that the caller will delete elements as * needed. * *
In order to implement methods such as contains() and indexOf(), * UVector needs a way to compare objects for equality. To do so, it * uses a comparison frunction, or "comparer." If the comparer is not * set, or is set to zero, then all such methods will act as if the * vector contains no element. That is, indexOf() will always return * -1, contains() will always return FALSE, etc. * *
