CGAL 5.5.2 - STL Extensions for CGAL
CGAL::In_place_list< T, bool > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/In_place_list.h>

Definition

An object of the class In_place_list represents a sequence of items of type T that supports bidirectional iterators and allows constant time insert and erase operations anywhere within the sequence.

The functionality is similar to the std::list<T> in the STL.

The In_place_list manages the items in place, i.e., inserted items are not copied. Two pointers of type T* are expected to be reserved in T for the list management. The base class In_place_list_base<T> can be used to obtain such pointers.

The In_place_list does not copy element items during insertion (unless otherwise stated for a function). On removal of an item or destruction of the list the items are not deleted by default. The second template parameter bool is set to false in this case. If the In_place_list should take the responsibility for the stored objects the bool parameter could be set to true, in which case the list will delete removed items and will delete all remaining items on destruction. In any case, the destroy() member function deletes all items. Note that these two possible versions of In_place_list are not assignable to each other to avoid confusions between the different storage responsibilities.

Parameters

The full class name is In_place_list<T, bool managed = false, class Alloc = CGAL_ALLOCATOR(T)>.

The parameter T is supposed to have a default constructor, a copy constructor and an assignment operator. The copy constructor and the assignment may copy the pointers in T for the list management, but they do not have to. The equality test and the relational order require the operators == and < for T respectively. These operators must not compare the pointers in T.
