RWTValHashMultiSet<T,H,EQ> itr(m);

RWTValHashMultiSetIterator is supplied with Tools.h++ 7 to provide an iterator interface to RWTValHashMultiSetIterator that is backward compatible with the container iterators provided in Tools.h++ 6.x.

Iteration over an RWTValHashMultiSet is pseudorandom and dependent on the capacity of the underlying hash table and the hash function being used. The only useable relationship between consecutive elements is that elements which are defined to be equivalent by the equivalence object, EQ, will remain adjacent.

The current item referenced by this iterator is undefined after construction or after a call to reset(). The iterator becomes valid after being advanced with either a preincrement or operator().

For both operator++ and operator(), iterating past the last element will return a value equivalent to boolean false. Continued increments will return a value equivalent to false until reset() is called.

RWTValHashMultiSetIterator<T,H,EQ> (RWTValHashMultiSet<T,H,EQ>&h);

Creates an iterator for the hashed multi-set h. The iterator begins in an undefined state and must be advanced before the first element will be accessible

RWBoolean
operator()();

Advances self to the next element. Returns false if the iterator has advanced past the last item in the container and true otherwise.

RWBoolean
operator++();

Advances self to the next element. If the iterator has been reset or just created self will now reference the first element. If, before iteration, self referenced the last value in the multi-set, self will now reference an undefined value and false will be returned. Otherwise, true is returned. Note: no postincrement operator is provided.

RWTValHashMultiSet<T,H,EQ>*
container() const;

Returns a pointer to the collection being iterated over.

T
key() const;

Returns the value currently referenced by self.

void
reset();
void
reset(RWTValHashMultiSet<T,H,EQ>& h);

Resets the iterator so that after being advanced it will reference the first element of the collection. Using reset() with no argument will reset the iterator on the current container. Supplying a RWTValHashMultiSet to reset() will reset the iterator on that container.
