Detailed Description

The QFuture::const_iterator class provides an STL-style const iterator for QFuture.

QFuture provides both STL-style iterators and Java-style iterators. The STL-style iterators are more low-level and more cumbersome to use; on the other hand, they are slightly faster and, for developers who already know STL, have the advantage of familiarity.

The default QFuture::const_iterator constructor creates an uninitialized iterator. You must initialize it using a QFuture function like QFuture::constBegin() or QFuture::constEnd() before you start iterating. Here's a typical loop that prints all the results available in a future:

 QFuture<QString> future = ...;

 QFuture<QString>::const_iterator i;
 for (i = future.constBegin(); i != future.constEnd(); ++i)
     cout << *i << endl;

Member Function Documentation

const_iterator::const_iterator ()

Constructs an uninitialized iterator.

Functions like operator*() and operator++() should not be called on an uninitialized iterartor. Use operator=() to assign a value to it before using it.

See also QFuture::constBegin() and QFuture::constEnd().

const_iterator::const_iterator ( const const_iterator & other )

Constructs a copy of other.

bool const_iterator::operator!= ( const const_iterator & other ) const

Returns true if other points to a different result than this iterator; otherwise returns false.

See also operator==().

const T & const_iterator::operator* () const

Returns the current result.

const_iterator const_iterator::operator+ ( int j ) const

Returns an iterator to the results at j positions forward from this iterator. (If j is negative, the iterator goes backward.)

See also operator-() and operator+=().

const_iterator & const_iterator::operator++ ()

The prefix ++ operator (++it) advances the iterator to the next result in the future and returns an iterator to the new current result.

Calling this function on QFuture::constEnd() leads to undefined results.

See also operator--().

const_iterator const_iterator::operator++ ( int )

This is an overloaded function.

The postfix ++ operator (it++) advances the iterator to the next result in the future and returns an iterator to the previously current result.

const_iterator & const_iterator::operator+= ( int j )

Advances the iterator by j results. (If j is negative, the iterator goes backward.)

See also operator-=() and operator+().

const_iterator const_iterator::operator- ( int j ) const

Returns an iterator to the result at j positions backward from this iterator. (If j is negative, the iterator goes forward.)

See also operator+() and operator-=().

const_iterator & const_iterator::operator-- ()

The prefix -- operator (--it) makes the preceding result current and returns an iterator to the new current result.

Calling this function on QFuture::constBegin() leads to undefined results.

See also operator++().

const_iterator const_iterator::operator-- ( int )

This is an overloaded function.

The postfix -- operator (it--) makes the preceding result current and returns an iterator to the previously current result.

const_iterator & const_iterator::operator-= ( int j )

Makes the iterator go back by j results. (If j is negative, the iterator goes forward.)

See also operator+=() and operator-().

const T * const_iterator::operator-> () const

Returns a pointer to the current result.

const_iterator & const_iterator::operator= ( const const_iterator & other )

Assigns other to this iterator.

bool const_iterator::operator== ( const const_iterator & other ) const

Returns true if other points to the same result as this iterator; otherwise returns false.

See also operator!=().
