## Detailed Description

ObjectContainerBase is the base class for Gaudi container classes.

The main motivation is to allow contained object to be removed from the container on deletion and also for knowing it own index (e.g. distance, key, ...) in the container.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual long ObjectContainerBase::add | ( | ContainedObject * | pObject ) | `[pure virtual]`

Virtual functions (forwards to the concrete container definitions) Add an object to the container.

On success the object's index is returned.

Implemented in KeyedContainer< DATATYPE, MAPPING >, ObjectList< TYPE >, ObjectVector< TYPE >, and SharedObjectsContainer< TYPE >.

virtual ContainedObject* ObjectContainerBase::containedObject | ( | long | dist ) | const`[pure virtual]`

Pointer to an object of a given distance.

Implemented in KeyedContainer< DATATYPE, MAPPING >, ObjectList< TYPE >, ObjectVector< TYPE >, and SharedObjectsContainer< TYPE >.

virtual long ObjectContainerBase::index | ( | const ContainedObject * | obj ) | const`[pure virtual]`

Distance of a given object from the beginning of its container.

Implemented in KeyedContainer< DATATYPE, MAPPING >, ObjectList< TYPE >, ObjectVector< TYPE >, and SharedObjectsContainer< TYPE >.

virtual size_type ObjectContainerBase::numberOfObjects | ( | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

Number of objects in the container.

Implemented in KeyedContainer< DATATYPE, MAPPING >, ObjectList< TYPE >, ObjectVector< TYPE >, and SharedObjectsContainer< TYPE >.

virtual long ObjectContainerBase::remove | ( | ContainedObject * | value ) | `[pure virtual]`

Release object from the container (the pointer will be removed from the container, but the object itself will remain alive).

If the object was fount it's index is returned.

Implemented in KeyedContainer< DATATYPE, MAPPING >, ObjectList< TYPE >, ObjectVector< TYPE >, and SharedObjectsContainer< TYPE >.
