Detailed Description

template<class T, int N = 100, class A = std::allocator<T>>
class Dune::ArrayList< T, N, A >

A dynamically growing random access list.

Internally the data is organised in a list of arrays of fixed size. Whenever the capacity of the array list is not sufficient a new Dune::array is allocated. In contrast to std::vector this approach prevents data copying. On the outside we provide the same interface as the stl random access containers.

While the concept sounds quite similar to std::deque there are slight but crucial differences:

• In contrast to std:deque the actual implementation (a list of arrays) is known. While for std::deque there are at least two possible implementations (dynamic array or using a double linked list.
• In contrast to std:deque there is not insert which invalidates iterators but our push_back method leaves all iterators valid.
• Additional functionality lets one delete entries before and at an iterator while moving the iterator to the next valid position.

Member Typedef Documentation

MemberType

template<class T , int N = 100, class A = std::allocator<T>>

typedef T Dune::ArrayList< T, N, A >::MemberType

The member type that is stored.

Has to be assignable and has to have an empty constructor.

Member Enumeration Documentation

anonymous enum

template<class T , int N = 100, class A = std::allocator<T>>

anonymous enum

Enumerator
chunkSize_	The number of elements in one chunk of the list. This has to be at least one. The default is 100.
