28 * @page eina_iterator_example Eina_Iterator usage
29 * @dontinclude eina_iterator_01.c
30 *
31 * As always when using eina we need to include it:
32 * @skip #include
33 * @until Eina.h
34 *
35 * Here we a declare an unimpressive @ref Eina_Each_Cb "function" that prints
36 * some data:
37 * @until }
38 * @note Returning EINA_TRUE is important so we don't stop iterating over the
39 * container.
40 *
41 * And here a more interesting function, it uses an iterator to print the
42 * contents of a container. What's interesting about it is that it doesn't care
43 * the type of container, it works for anything that can provide an iterator:
44 * @until }
45 *
46 * And on to our main function were we declare some variables and initialize
47 * eina, nothing too special:
48 * @until eina_init
49 *
50 * Next we populate both an array and a list with our strings, for more details
51 * see @ref eina_list_01_example and @ref eina_array_01_example:
52 * @until }
53 *
54 * And now we create an array and because the first element of the container
55 * doesn't interest us we skip it:
56 * @until iterator_next
57 *
58 * Having our iterator now pointing to interesting data we go ahead and print:
59 * @until print_eina_container
60 *
61 * As always once data with a structure we free it, but just because we can we
62 * do it by asking the iterator for it's container, and then of course free the
63 * iterator itself:
64 * @until eina_iterator_free
65 *
66 * But so far you're not impressed in @ref eina_array_01_example an array is
67 * also printed, so now we go to the cool stuff and use an iterator to do same
68 * stuff to a list:
69 * @until eina_iterator_free
70 * @note The only significant diference to the block above is in the
71 * function used to create the iterator.
72 *
73 * And now we free the list and shut eina down:
74 * @until }

87 *
88 * @brief These functions manage iterators on containers.
89 *
90 * These functions allow to access elements of a container in a
91 * generic way, without knowing which container is used (a bit like
92 * iterators in the C++ STL). Iterators only allows sequential access
93 * (that is, from an element to the next one). For random access, see
94 * @ref Eina_Accessor_Group.
95 *
96 * An iterator is created from container data types, so no creation
97 * function is available here. An iterator is deleted with
98 * eina_iterator_free(). To get the data and iterate, use
99 * eina_iterator_next(). To call a function on all the elements of a
100 * container, use eina_iterator_foreach().
101 *

282 * @brief Macro to iterate over all elements easily.

285 * @param data Where to store * data, must be a pointer support getting
286 * its address since * eina_iterator_next() requires a pointer
287 * to pointer!
288 *
289 * This macro is a convenient way to use iterators, very similar to
290 * EINA_LIST_FOREACH().
291 *
292 * This macro can be used for freeing the data of a list, like in the
293 * following example. It has the same goal as the one documented in
294 * EINA_LIST_FOREACH(), but using iterators:
295 *
296 * @code
297 * Eina_List *list;
298 * Eina_Iterator *itr;
299 * char *data;
300 *
301 * // list is already filled,
302 * // its elements are just duplicated strings
303 *
304 * itr = eina_list_iterator_new(list);
305 * EINA_ITERATOR_FOREACH(itr, data)
306 * free(data);
307 * eina_iterator_free(itr);
308 * eina_list_free(list);
309 * @endcode
310 *
311 * @note this example is not optimal algorithm to release a list since
312 * it will walk the list twice, but it serves as an example. For
313 * optimized version use EINA_LIST_FREE()
314 *
315 * @warning The order in which the elements will be traversed depends on the
316 * underlying container and @b shouldn't be relied upon.
317 *
318 * @warning unless explicitly stated in functions returning iterators,
319 * do not modify the iterated object while you walk it, in this
320 * example using lists, do not remove list nodes or you might
321 * crash! This is not a limitiation of iterators themselves,
322 * rather in the iterators implementations to keep them as simple
323 * and fast as possible.
