Class ptr_deque

A ptr_deque<T> is a pointer container that uses an underlying std:deque<void*> to store the pointers.

Semantics

Semantics: modifiers

  • void push_front( T* x );

    • Requirements: x != 0
    • Effects: Inserts the pointer into container and takes ownership of it
    • Throws: bad_pointer if x == 0
    • Exception safety: Strong guarantee

  • template< class U > void push_front( compatible-smart-ptr<U> x );

    • Effects: push_front( x.release() );

  • auto_type pop_front():

    • Requirements:not empty()
    • Effects: Removes the first element in the container
    • Postconditions: size() is one less
    • Throws: bad_ptr_container_operation if empty() == true
    • Exception safety: Strong guarantee

Semantics: element access

  • T& operator[]( size_type n );

  • const T& operator[]( size_type n ) const;

    • Requirements: n < size()
    • Effects: Returns a reference to the n'th element
    • Throws: Nothing

  • T& at( size_type n );

  • const T& at( size_type n ) const;

    • Requirements: n < size()
    • Effects: Returns a reference to the n'th element
    • Throws: bad_index if n >=size()

Semantics: pointer container requirements

  • auto_type replace( size_type idx, T* x );

    • Requirements: `` x != 0 and idx < size()``
    • Effects: returns the object indexed by idx and replaces it with x.
    • Throws: bad_index if idx >= size() and bad_pointer if x == 0.
    • Exception safety: Strong guarantee

  • template< class U > auto_type replace( size_type idx, compatible-smart-ptr<U> x );

    • Effects: return replace( idx, x.release() );

  • bool is_null( size_type idx ) const;

    • Requirements: idx < size()
    • Effects: returns whether the pointer at index idx is null
    • Exception safety: Nothrow guarantee
