TCollection Class Referenceabstract

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.

Definition: TROOT.h:403

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 the collection header and its elements that match the regexp.

If recurse is non-zero, descend into printing of collection-entries with recurse - 1. This means, if recurse is negative, the recursion is infinite.

Option is passed recursively, but regexp is only used on the first level.

Reimplemented in THashTable, TAlienResult, and TProofOutputList.

◆ Print() [4/4]

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;
int Int_t
Definition: RtypesCore.h:41
const char Option_t
Definition: RtypesCore.h:62
virtual void PrintCollectionEntry(TObject *entry, Option_t *option, Int_t recurse) const
Print the collection entry.
virtual const char * GetCollectionEntryName(TObject *entry) const
For given collection entry return the string that is used to identify the object and,...
virtual void PrintCollectionHeader(Option_t *option) const
Print the collection header.

Otherwise override the Print(Option_t *option, Int_t) variant. Remember to declare:

virtual void Print(Option_t *option="") const
Default print for collections, calls Print(option, 1).

somewhere close to the method declaration.

Int_t  recurse

Print the collection entry.

◆ PrintCollectionHeader()

void TCollection::PrintCollectionHeader ( Option_t option) const

Print the collection header.

Reimplemented in TQCommand, and TQConnection.

◆ RecursiveRemove()

void TCollection::RecursiveRemove ( TObject obj)
virtual

Remove object from this collection and recursively remove the object from all other objects (and collections).

Reimplemented from TObject.

Reimplemented in THashList, TList, TObjArray, TListOfDataMembers, TListOfFunctions, TListOfFunctionTemplates, TViewPubDataMembers, TViewPubFunctions, TListOfEnums, and TListOfEnumsWithLock.

◆ SetOwner()

void TCollection::SetOwner ( Bool_t  enable = kTRUE)
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.

void TCollection::StartGarbageCollection ( )

Set up for garbage collection.

◆ 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.

◆ 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).

◆ Write() [2/2]

Int_t TCollection::Write ( const char *  name = 0,

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).
