Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class Queue< T >

This class implements a simple, singly-linked list of objects implementing the base class Queue::Node.

Queue::Node itself merely adds an attribute _next_node to the parent object, allowing to enqueue the element into a single Queue.

Warning: One instance of a class inheriting from Queue::Node can be at most in one Queue

The following example illustrates the usage of Queue::Node :

class Foo : public Queue<Foo>::Node {
  // ...
}

This Queue implementation supports using C++11 range expressions:

Queue<Foo> list;
Foo a, b, c;

list.enqueue(&a);
list.enqueue(&b);
list.enqueue(&c);

for(Foo * elem : list) {
  // use elem
}

Note: Implementation details: Unlike in other implementations, the tail pointer does not point to the last element in the queue, but to the last element's next pointer. As long as the queue is empty, tail points to the queue's head pointer; therefore inserting can be implemented without further special cases handling empty queues. The check for emptiness can, however, not be omitted on removal.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >

void Queue< T >::enqueue ( T * item )

inline

Enqueues the provided item at the end of the queue.

Parameters

item	Queue element to be appended.

template<typename T >

T * Queue< T >::dequeue ( )

inline

Removes the first element in the queue and returns it.

Returns: The removed head, or nullptr if the queue was empty.

template<typename T >

Iterator Queue< T >::begin ( )

inline

Returns an iterator referring to the head of the queue.

template<typename T >

Iterator Queue< T >::end ( )

inline

Returns an end iterator.

template<typename T >

T * Queue< T >::remove	(	T *	item,
		bool()(T , T *)	cmp = `[] (T* a, T* b) {return a == b;}`
	)

inline

Removes and returns a single element from the queue.

This method removes and returns a single element (provided via parameter item) from the queue, irrespective of its position. By default, this function compares pointers; it is possible to override the default comparator lambda function by specifying a function type as second parameter.

Parameters

item	Element to be removed.
cmp	Comparator function.

Returns: Returns the removed element, or 0 if no element matches.

template<typename T >

void Queue< T >::insertFirst ( T * item )

inline

Adds item to the beginning of the queue.

Parameters

item	The element to be inserted.

template<typename T >

void Queue< T >::insertAfter	(	T *	old_item,
		T *	new_item
	)

inline

Inserts the element new_item directly after old_item.

Parameters

old_item	Element to insert after.
new_item	Element to be inserted.

template<typename T >

T * Queue< T >::first ( )

inline

Returns the first element in the queue without removing it.

Returns: The first element in the queue
