#include <rw/tpslist.h> 
RWTPtrSlist<T> slist;

This class maintains a pointer-based collection of values, implemented as a singly-linked list. Class T is the type pointed to by the items in the collection.

// tpsldat.cpp
//
#include <rw/tpslist.h>
#include <rw/rwdate.h>
#include <iostream.h>

main(){
  RWTPtrSlist<RWDate> dates;
  dates.insert(new RWDate(2, "June", 52));      // 6/2/52
  dates.insert(new RWDate(30, "March", 46));    // 3/30/46
  dates.insert(new RWDate(1, "April", 90));     // 4/1/90

  // Now look for one of the dates:
  RWDate * ret = dates.find(new RWDate(2,"June",52));
  if (ret){
    cout << "Found date " << ret << endl;
  }

  // Remove in reverse order:
  while (!dates.isEmpty())
    cout << *dates.removeLast() << endl;

  return 0;
}
Program Output:
Found date
4/01/90
3/30/46
6/02/52

Classes RWTPtrDlist<T>, RWTPtrDeque<T>, and RWTPtrOrderedVector<T> also provide a Rogue Wave pointer-based interface to C++-standard sequence collections.

Class rw_slist<T*> is the C++-standard collection that serves as the underlying implementation for this class.

RWTPtrSlist<T>();

Constructs an empty, singly-linked list.

RWTPtrSlist<T>(const RWTPtrSlist<T>& rwlst);

Copy constructor.

RWTPtrSlist<T>(const rw_slist<T*>& lst);

Construct a singly linked list by copying all elements of lst.

RWTPtrSlist<T>(size_type n, const T* a=0);

Constructs a singly-linked list with n elements, each initialized to a.

RWTPtrSlist<T>(T* const* first, T* const* last);

Constructs a singly-linked list by copying elements from the array of T*s pointed to by first, up to, but not including, the element pointed to by last.

RWTPtrSlist<T>&
operator=(const RWTPtrSlist<T>& lst);
RWTPtrSlist<T>&
operator=(const rw_slist<T*>& lst);

Empties self then inserts all elements of lst.

bool
operator<(const RWTPtrSlist<T>& lst) const;

Returns true if self compares lexicographically less than lst, otherwise returns false. Items in each collection are dereferenced before being compared.

bool
operator==(const RWTPtrSlist<T>& lst) const;

Returns true if self compares equal to lst, otherwise returns false. Two collections are equal if both have the same number of entries, and iterating through both collections produces, in turn, individual elements that compare equal to each other. Elements are dereferenced before being compared.

reference

const_reference
operator()(size_type i) const;

Returns a reference to the ith element of self. Index i must be between 0 and one less then the number of entries, otherwise the results are undefined--no bounds checking is performed.

reference
operator[](size_type i);
const_reference
operator[](size_type i) const;

Returns a reference to the ith element of self. Index i must be between 0 and one less then the number of entries in self, otherwise the function throws an exception of type RWBoundsErr.

Client data may be passed through parameter d.

reference
