Detailed Description

An object that can be used to keep track of the elements when decoding a CBOR array or map.

This object has begin() and end() functions to allows it to be used like a stream iterator. However, the object is not used to actually decode the entries, but only to keep track of whether all the entries have been read yet.

Member Typedef Documentation

difference_type

using xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::difference_type = std::ptrdiff_t

Dummy type for non-existend difference type.

using xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::iterator_category = iterator_concept

The iterator category, for use in pre-C++20 code.

iterator_concept

using xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::iterator_concept = std::input_iterator_tag

The iterator concept.

pointer

using xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::pointer = void

void type denoting that this class has no pointer type.

reference

using xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::reference = DummyValue

The value type.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RangeIterator() [1/2]

constexpr xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::RangeIterator ( )

constexprdefaultnoexcept

Default constructor.

This constructor creates an invalid iterator. It is suitable as a sentinel for algorithms that require the sentinel to be of the same type as the iterator.

RangeIterator() [2/2]

constexpr xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::RangeIterator ( std::default_sentinel_t  )

constexprnoexcept

Conversion constructor for a sentinel.

This constructor creates an invalid iterator suitable for use as a sentinel for algorithms that require the sentinel to be of the same type as the iterator.

Member Function Documentation

operator*()

auto xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::operator* ( ) -> DummyValue

noexcept

Indirection operator.

Precondition

Must not be called on an exhaused iterator

Returns

A dummy value object.

operator++() [1/2]

auto xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::operator++

(

)

-> RangeIterator &

Pre-increment operator.

Moves the iterator forward by one position. If the array or map has indefinite length, this operator checks for and consumes the stop code (“break”).

Precondition

Must not be called on an exhaused iterator

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

The array or map has indefinite length, and an error occurred consuming the stop code

operator++() [2/2]

auto xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::operator++

(

int

)

-> DummyValue

Post-increment operator.

Moves the iterator forward by one position. If the array or map has indefinite length, this operator checks for and consumes the stop code (“break”).

Precondition

Must not be called on an exhaused iterator

Returns

A dummy value object.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

The array or map has indefinite length, and an error occurred consuming the stop code

operator==()

auto xentara::utils::cbor::RangeIterator::operator== ( const RangeIterator &  rhs ) const -> bool

noexcept

Equality operator.

This operator is intended to be used to check for the end of an array or map in algorithms that do not support std::default_sentinel_t, but use an invalid iterator as sentinel instead.

This method does not check the position of the iterator within the array or map. Any valid iterator will compare equal to any other valid iterator. An iterator that has gone past the end of the array or map will compare equal to a default constructed iterator, or an iterator that was constructed from std::default_sentinel.
