Class RArray

class RArray : private RArrayBase;

Description

A simple and efficient array of fixed length objects.

The elements of the array are instances of a class; this class is specified as the template parameter T.

The array offers standard array behaviour which includes insertion, appending and sorting of elements.

Note:

1. where possible, this class should be used in preference to CArrayFixFlat<classT>.

2. the derivation from RArrayBase is private.

3. for performance reasons, RArray stores objects in the array as word (4 byte) aligned quantities. This means that some member functions do not work when RArray is instantiated for classes of less than 4 bytes in size, or when the class's alignment requirement is not 4. Be aware that it is possible to get an unhandled exception on hardware that enforces strict alignment.

The affected functions are:

3.1 the constructor: RArray(TInt, T*, TInt)

3.2 Append(const T&)

3.3 Insert(const T&, TInt)

3.4 the [] operator, and then using the pointer to iterate through the array as you would with a C array.
