Collection abstract base class.

This class describes the base protocol all collection classes have to implement. The ROOT collection classes always store pointers to objects that inherit from TObject. They never adopt the objects. Therefore, it is the user's responsibility to take care of deleting the actual objects once they are not needed anymore. In exceptional cases, when the user is 100% sure nothing else is referencing the objects in the collection, one can delete all objects and the collection at the same time using the Delete() function.

Collections can be iterated using an iterator object (see TIterator). Depending on the concrete collection class there may be some additional methods of iterating. See the respective classes.

TCollection inherits from TObject since we want to be able to have collections of collections.

In a later release the collections may become templatized.

ROOT::CallRecursiveRemoveIfNeeded(*this)

Otherwise, when RecursiveRemove is called (by ~TObject or example) for this type of object, the transversal of THashList and THashTable containers will will have to be done without call Hash (and hence be linear rather than logarithmic complexity). You will also see warnings like

Error in <ROOT::Internal::TCheckHashRecursiveRemoveConsistency::CheckRecursiveRemove>: The class SomeName overrides TObject::Hash but does not call TROOT::RecursiveRemove in its destructor.

◆ Print() [1/4]

void TCollection::Print ( Option_t * option = "" ) const

virtual

Default print for collections, calls Print(option, 1).

This will print the collection header and Print() methods of all the collection entries.

If you want to override Print() for a collection class, first see if you can accomplish it by overriding the following protected methods:

void        PrintCollectionHeader(Option_t* option) const;
const char* GetCollectionEntryName(TObject* entry) const;
void        PrintCollectionEntry(TObject* entry, Option_t* option, Int_t recurse) const;

using TCollection::Print;

somewhere close to the method declaration.

virtual

Print the collection header and its elements that match the wildcard.

	)		const

virtual

Print the collection header and its elements that match the regexp.

virtual

Set whether this collection is the owner (enable==true) of its content.

If it is the owner of its contents, these objects will be deleted whenever the collection itself is delete. The objects might also be deleted or destructed when Clear is called (depending on the collection).

Reimplemented in TClonesArray.

Definition at line 744 of file TCollection.cxx.

◆ StartGarbageCollection()

void TCollection::StartGarbageCollection ( )

static

Set up for garbage collection.

Definition at line 694 of file TCollection.cxx.

◆ UseRWLock()

bool TCollection::UseRWLock ( )

virtual

Set this collection to use a RW lock upon access, making it thread safe.

Return the previous state.

Note: To test whether the usage is enabled do: collection->TestBit(TCollection::kUseRWLock);

Reimplemented in THashList.

Definition at line 759 of file TCollection.cxx.

◆ Write() [1/2]

Int_t TCollection::Write	(	const char *	name = `0`,
		Int_t	option = `0`,
		Int_t	bsize = `0`
	)

virtual

Write all objects in this collection.

By default all objects in the collection are written individually (each object gets its own key). Note, this is recursive, i.e. objects in collections in the collection are also written individually. To write all objects using a single key specify a name and set option to TObject::kSingleKey (i.e. 1).

Reimplemented from TObject.

Reimplemented in TMap.

Definition at line 670 of file TCollection.cxx.

◆ Write() [2/2]

Int_t TCollection::Write	(	const char *	name = `0`,
		Int_t	option = `0`,
		Int_t	bsize = `0`
	)		const

virtual
