Detailed Description

       A map table allows for entities to be mapped (hash index) onto it.

       Unlike with Assoc, This form of map table also allows objects to be removed from the table. This table
       also includes a mutex lock for thread safety. A free list is also optionally maintained for reusable
       maps.

       Table to hold hash indexed objects.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   ost::MapTable::MapTable (unsigned size)
       Create a map table with a specified number of slots.

       Parameters
           number of slots.

   virtual ost::MapTable::~MapTable () [virtual]
       Destroy the table, calls cleanup.

Member Function Documentation

   void ost::MapTable::addFree (MapObject * obj)
       Add an object to the managed free list. Some MapObject's may override delete operator to detach and do
       this.

       Parameters
           object to add.

   void ost::MapTable::addObject (MapObject & obj)
       Map an object to our table. If it is in another table already, it is removed there first.

       Parameters
           object to map.

   void ost::MapTable::cleanup (void) [protected]
   void* ost::MapTable::getEnd () [inline]
       Get table's end, useful for cycle control; it is returned as void * for easy re-cast.

       Returns
           pointer to found object or NULL.

   void* ost::MapTable::getFirst ()
       Get the first element into table, it is returned as void * for easy re-cast.

       Returns
           pointer to found object or NULL.

   void* ost::MapTable::getFree (void)
       Get next object from managed free list. This returns as a void so it can be recast into the actual type
       being used in derived MapObject's. A derived version of MapTable may well offer an explicit type version
       of this. Some derived MapObject's may override new to use managed list.

       Returns
           next object on free list.

   virtual unsigned ost::MapTable::getIndex (const char * id) [virtual]
       Get index value from id string. This function can be changed as needed to provide better collision
       avoidence for specific tables.

       Parameters
           id string

       Returns
           index slot in table.

   void* ost::MapTable::getLast ()
       Get the last element into table, it is returned as void * for easy re-cast.

       Returns
           pointer to found object or NULL.

   void* ost::MapTable::getObject (const char * id)
       Lookup an object by id key. It is returned as void * for easy re-cast.

       Parameters
           key to find.

       Returns
           pointer to found object or NULL.

   unsigned ost::MapTable::getRange (void) [inline]
       Return range of this table.

       Returns
           table range.

   unsigned ost::MapTable::getSize (void) [inline]
       Return the number of object stored in this table.

       Returns
           table size.

   MapTable& ost::MapTable::operator+= (MapObject & obj)
       An operator to map an object to the table.

       Returns
           table being used.

       Parameters
           object being mapped.

   virtual MapTable& ost::MapTable::operator-= (MapObject & obj) [virtual]
       This operator is virtual in case it must also add the object to a managed free list.

       Returns
           current table.

       Parameters
           object entity to remove.
