Detailed Description

An iterator that iterates through the code points in a Unicode string in reverse order.

This iterator assumes that the Unicode string being iterated over is a valid Unicode string.

There is also the concept of an "empty" iterator. An empty iterator is one that is created when begin() or end() is called on an empty UnicodeString. Attempting to change the position of an empty iterator using unary operator (such as "+=") will only result in nothing happening. Attempting to get an iterator for another position using a binary operator (such as "+") will result in another empty iterator being created. Dereferencing an iterator via the "*" or "->" operators will result in an assertion failure in a debug build or undefined behavior in a release build. Empty iterators are always equal to each other.

[in]utf16StringReverseIteratorThe Utf16String reverse iterator to use in constructing this iterator

Member Function Documentation

bool UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::empty ( ) const

Indicates whether this iterator is an empty iterator.

This is mainly for informational purposes. If you use iterators properly, comparing the begin iterator to the end iterator, you won't even need to know when an empty iterator appears. In case want to know whether an iterator is empty (as opposed to an non-empty iterator that has been incremented/decremented beyond the boundaries of a string), you can use this function.

bool UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator!= ( const reverse_iterator otherIterator) const

Compares this reverse iterator with another reverse iterator and tests for inequality.

Empty iterators are always equal to other empty iterators and are always unequal to non-empty iterators.

Parameters
[in]otherIteratorThe other reverse iterator to be compared with this reverse iterator
Returns
false if otherIterator is pointing to the same position as this reverse iterator, otherwise true
UnicodeCharReference UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator* ( )

Gets the character at the position of this reverse iterator.

If this reverse iterator is not pointing to a position in a UnicodeString, the result will be undefined.

The reference returned by this function will be invalidated if the iterator is changed in any way. Changing the value of the returned object will not change the string.

If this iterator is an empty iterator, using this operator will result in an assertion failure in a debug build and undefined behavior (most likely a crash) in a release build.

See Also
UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::empty()
Returns
A reference to the the character being pointed to by this reverse iterator
reverse_iterator UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator+ ( size_t  offset)

Creates an iterator that has the position of this iterator incremented by a specific offset.

Note that since a Unicode string contains variable-width characters, we have to iterate over the code units. As a result, this operator has a performance of O(N). Hence, this operator should be used with care.

Parameters
[in]offsetThe offset to be used when incrementing this position of this iterator
Returns
An iterator that points to the offset position
reverse_iterator& UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator++ ( )

Increments this reverse iterator to the previous position in the UnicodeString.

This is the prefix operator.

Returns
A reference to this object after the position has been incremented
reverse_iterator UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator++ ( int  )

Increments this reverse iterator to the previous position in the UnicodeString.

This is a postfix operator.

Returns
A copy of this object before the position was incremented
reverse_iterator& UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator+= ( size_t  offset)

Increments this iterator by a specific offset.

Note that since a Unicode string contains variable-width characters, we have to iterate over the code units. As a result, this operator has a performance of O(N). Hence, this operator should be used with care.

Parameters
[in]offsetThe offset to use in incrementing this iterator
Returns
A reference to this iterator
reverse_iterator UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator- ( size_t  offset)

Creates an iterator that has the position of this iterator decremented by a specific offset.

Note that since a Unicode string contains variable-width characters, we have to iterate over the code units. As a result, this operator has a performance of O(N). Hence, this operator should be used with care.

Parameters
[in]offsetThe offset to use in decrementing the position of this iterator
Returns
An iterator that points to the offset position
reverse_iterator& UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator-- ( )

Decrements this reverse iterator to the next position in the UnicodeString.

This is a prefix operator.

Returns
A reference to this object after the position has been decremented
reverse_iterator UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator-- ( int  )

Decrements this reverse iterator to the next position in the UnicodeString.

This is a postfix operator.

Returns
A copy of this object before the position was decremented
reverse_iterator& UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator-= ( size_t  offset)

Decrements this iterator by a specific offset.

Note that since a Unicode string contains variable-width characters, we have to iterate over the code units. As a result, this operator has a performance of O(N). Hence, this operator should be used with care.

Parameters
[in]offsetThe offset to use in decrementing this iterator
Returns
A reference to this iterator
UnicodeCharReference* UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator-> ( )

Gets a pointer to the character at the position of this reverse iterator.

If this reverse iterator is not pointing to a position in a UnicodeString, the result will be undefined.

The pointer returned by this function will be invalidated if the iterator is changed in any way.

If this iterator is an empty iterator, using this operator will result in an assertion failure in a debug build and undefined behavior (most likely a crash) in a release build.

Returns
A pointer to the character being pointed to by this iterator
bool UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator< ( const reverse_iterator otherIterator)

Compares this iterator to another iterator and tests whether this iterator comes before the other iterator in the string.

Empty iterators are considered to be less than non-empty iterators.

true if this iterator comes before the other iterator in a string, otherwise false
bool UtfString::UnicodeString::reverse_iterator::operator<= ( const reverse_iterator otherIterator)
