## Detailed Description

For use on the stack only: iterates through elements of a const QoreListNode.

// iterate forward through the list
ConstListIterator li(l);
while (li.next()) {
QoreStringValueHelper str(li.getValue());
printf("%d: '%s'\n", li.index(), str->getBuffer());
}
// iterate backwards through the list
ConstListIterator li(l);
while (li.prev()) {
QoreStringValueHelper str(li.getValue());
printf("%d: '%s'\n", li.index(), str->getBuffer());
}

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ConstListIterator() [1/2]

DLLEXPORT ConstListIterator::ConstListIterator | ( | const QoreListNode * | lst,
|  | size_t | n_pos = `-1`
| ) |  |

initializes the iterator to the position given or, if omitted, just before the first element

Parameters

  lst | the list to iterate
  n_pos | the starting position (-1 means just before the first element so that the initial call to next() or prev() will put the iterator on the first element)

## ConstListIterator() [2/2]

DLLEXPORT ConstListIterator::ConstListIterator | ( | const QoreListNode & | lst,
|  | size_t | n_pos = `-1`
| ) |  |

initializes the iterator to the position given or, if omitted, just before the first element

Parameters

  lst | the list to iterate
  n_pos | the starting position (-1 means just before the first element so that the initial call to next() or prev() will put the iterator on the first element)

## Member Function Documentation

## getReferencedValue()

DLLEXPORT QoreValue ConstListIterator::getReferencedValue | ( |  | ) | const

returns the referenced value of the list element

Since
  Qore 0.9

## next()

DLLEXPORT bool ConstListIterator::next | ( |  | ) |

moves the iterator to the next element, returns true if the iterator is pointing to an element of the list

if the iterator is on the last element, it moves to an invalid position before the first element and returns false note that a subsequent call to next() after it returns false will move the iterator to the first element again (assuming there is at least one element in the list)

Returns
  returns true if the iterator has been moved to point to a valid element of the list, false if there are no more elements to iterate

## prev()

DLLEXPORT bool ConstListIterator::prev | ( |  | ) |

moves the iterator to the previous element, returns true if the iterator is pointing to an element of the list

if the iterator is on the first element, it moves to an invalid position before the first element and returns false note that a subsequent call to prev() after it returns false will move the iterator to the last element again (assuming there is at least one element in the list)

Returns
  returns true if the iterator has been moved to point to a valid element of the list, false if there are no more elements to iterate

Note
  after this function returns false, do not use the iterator until it points to a valid element, otherwise a crash will result

## set()

DLLEXPORT int ConstListIterator::set | ( | size_t | n_pos | ) |

sets the iterator to a specific position in the list

In the case an invalid position is given (element not present in the list), the iterator will not be pointing to a valid element in the list

Parameters

  n_pos | the position in the list to set (first element is position 0)

Returns
  0 for OK, -1 for invalid position

Note
  if this function returns -1, do not use the iterator until it points to a valid element, otherwise a crash will result
