相信很多开发者在游戏开发中都会用到List表,用于存储数据或者对象。估计也有很多人对它的实现并不清楚,只是会用而已。学习知识不能仅限于表面,如果抱着只是会用,时间长了对自己的技能提升没有任何帮助不进则退,相信大家都学过侯捷先生的书,它编写的C++都是底层的实现。作为开发者来说,如果对知识的掌握只限于表面,长久下去把自己就废了。因为现在引擎都封装的非常完善,其实这样做的后果就是引擎的关键技术只是掌握在少数人手中,大部分开发者都是逻辑程序员,一直要依附于人家才能生活,这样很可悲的,作为开发者的我们更应该自己主动的去学习。这样即使引擎有问题,自己也可以轻松解决。本章主要是给读者介绍关于List的封装,List是链表,表是有结点组成的,链表的遍历可以使用迭代器实现,这些就组成了链表的封装。首先看看迭代器的定义:

/// the list iterator
    class Iterator
    {
    public:
        /// default constructor
        Iterator();
        /// constructor
        Iterator(Node* node);
        /// copy constructor
        Iterator(const Iterator& rhs);
        /// assignment operator
        const Iterator& operator=(const Iterator& rhs);
        /// equality operator
        bool operator==(const Iterator& rhs) const;
        /// inequality operator
        bool operator!=(const Iterator& rhs) const;
        /// pre-increment operator
        const Iterator& operator++();
        /// post-increment operator
        Iterator operator++(int);
        /// pre-decrement operator
        const Iterator& operator--();
        /// post-increment operator
        Iterator operator--(int);
        /// bool operator
        operator bool() const;
        /// safe -> operator
        TYPE* operator->() const;
        /// safe dereference operator
        TYPE& operator*() const;
    private:
        friend class List<TYPE>;

        /// access to node
        Node* GetNode() const;

        Node* node;
    };



迭代器中还有Node结点指针,下面把节点Node的类定义实现如下所示:

class Node
    {
        friend class List;
        friend class Iterator;

        /// constructor
        Node(const TYPE& v);
        /// destructor
        ~Node();
        /// set pointer to next node
        void SetNext(Node* n);
        /// get pointer to next node
        Node* GetNext() const;
        /// set pointer to previous node
        void SetPrev(Node* p);
        /// get pointer to previous node
        Node* GetPrev() const;
        /// get value reference
        TYPE& Value();

        Node* next;
        Node* prev;
        TYPE value;
    };



链表有自己的类型,前后指针这些操作都放在链表中,整个List表的实现的完整代码如下所示:

template<class TYPE> class List
{
private:
    class Node;
public:
    class Iterator;

    /// constructor
    List();
    /// copy constructor
    List(const List<TYPE>& rhs);
    /// destructor
    ~List();
    /// assignment operator
    void operator=(const List<TYPE>& rhs);

    /// return true if the list is empty
    bool IsEmpty() const;
    /// get number of elements in list (slow)
    SizeT Size() const;
    /// clear list
    void Clear();
    /// add contents of other list to this list
    void AddList(const List<TYPE>& l);
    /// add element after given element
    Iterator AddAfter(Iterator iter, const TYPE& e);
    /// add element before given element
    Iterator AddBefore(Iterator iter, const TYPE& e);
    /// add element to beginning of list
    Iterator AddFront(const TYPE& e);
    /// add element to end of list
    Iterator AddBack(const TYPE& e);
    /// remove first element of list
    TYPE RemoveFront();
    /// remove last element of list
    TYPE RemoveBack();
    /// remove given element
    TYPE Remove(Iterator iter);
    /// get first element
    TYPE& Front() const;
    /// get last element
    TYPE& Back() const;
    /// get iterator to first element
    Iterator Begin() const;
    /// get iterator past the last element
    Iterator End() const;
    /// find element in array (slow)
    Iterator Find(const TYPE& e, Iterator start) const;

    /// the list iterator
    class Iterator
    {
    public:
        /// default constructor
        Iterator();
        /// constructor
        Iterator(Node* node);
        /// copy constructor
        Iterator(const Iterator& rhs);
        /// assignment operator
        const Iterator& operator=(const Iterator& rhs);
        /// equality operator
        bool operator==(const Iterator& rhs) const;
        /// inequality operator
        bool operator!=(const Iterator& rhs) const;
        /// pre-increment operator
        const Iterator& operator++();
        /// post-increment operator
        Iterator operator++(int);
        /// pre-decrement operator
        const Iterator& operator--();
        /// post-increment operator
        Iterator operator--(int);
        /// bool operator
        operator bool() const;
        /// safe -> operator
        TYPE* operator->() const;
        /// safe dereference operator
        TYPE& operator*() const;
    private:
        friend class List<TYPE>;

        /// access to node
        Node* GetNode() const;

        Node* node;
    };

private:
    /// a node in the list
    class Node
    {
        friend class List;
        friend class Iterator;

        /// constructor
        Node(const TYPE& v);
        /// destructor
        ~Node();
        /// set pointer to next node
        void SetNext(Node* n);
        /// get pointer to next node
        Node* GetNext() const;
        /// set pointer to previous node
        void SetPrev(Node* p);
        /// get pointer to previous node
        Node* GetPrev() const;
        /// get value reference
        TYPE& Value();

        Node* next;
        Node* prev;
        TYPE value;
    };

    Node* front;
    Node* back;
};

学习代码是非常枯燥的,但是知道了它内部的实现原理,使用起来才会更顺手。自己尝试封装一下,再去实现某个小功能,坚持下去,对引擎也会有所了解的。
