Detailed Description

this class manages a stack of pointers to DcmObject instances.

The objects pointed to are never touched, e.g. deleted.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DcmStack()

DcmStack::DcmStack

(

const DcmStack &

arg

)

copy constructor.

Only pointers to objects are copied, the DcmObject instances are not duplicated.

Parameters

arg	stack to copy from

Member Function Documentation

card()

unsigned long DcmStack::card

(

)

const

returns cardinality (number of entries) of the stack

Returns

cardinality of stack

clear()

void DcmStack::clear

(

)

returns the stack to default-constructed state, i.e.

empty state.

elem()

DcmObject* DcmStack::elem

(

const unsigned long

number

)

const

returns n-th element from stack without removing it.

Returns

n-th element from stack

empty()

OFBool DcmStack::empty

(

)

const

checks if the stack is empty

Returns

true if stack is empty, false otherwise

operator<()

OFBool DcmStack::operator<

(

const DcmStack &

arg

)

const

dummy comparison operator, needed for MSVC5.

Parameters

arg	stack to compare to

Returns

true if the cardinality of this stack is smaller than the cardinality of arg, or if the cardinality is equal and pointer comparison, from the top to the bottom of the stack results in a smaller pointer for this stack.

operator=()

DcmStack& DcmStack::operator=

(

const DcmStack &

arg

)

copy assignment operator.

Only pointers to objects are copied, the DcmObject instances are not duplicated.

Parameters

arg	object to assign from

Returns

reference to this object

operator==()

OFBool DcmStack::operator==

(

const DcmStack &

arg

)

const

comparison operator, needed for MSVC5.

Parameters

arg	stack to compare to

Returns

true if stacks are equal, false otherwise

pop()

DcmObject* DcmStack::pop

(

)

removes uppermost entry from stack and returns it.

Returns

uppermost stack entry

push()

DcmObject* DcmStack::push

(

DcmObject *

obj

)

push new pointer do DcmObject instance on stack

Parameters

obj	object pointer to push on stack

Returns

pointer passed as obj

top()

DcmObject* DcmStack::top

(

)

const

returns uppermost entry of stack without removing it.

Returns

uppermost stack entry
