The
::struct namespace contains a commands for processing
finite stacks.
It exports a single command, ::struct::stack. All functionality
provided here can be reached through a subcommand of this command.
Note: As of version 1.3.3 of this package a critcl based C
implementation is available. This implementation however requires Tcl
8.4 to run.
The ::struct::stack command creates a new stack object with an
associated global Tcl command whose name is stackName. This
command may be used to invoke various operations on the stack. It has
the following general form:
-
stackName option ? arg arg ... ?
-
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the
command. The following commands are possible for stack objects:
-
stackName clear
-
Remove all items from the stack.
-
stackName destroy
-
Destroy the stack, including its storage space and associated command.
-
stackName get
-
Returns the whole contents of the stack as a list, without removing
them from the stack.
-
stackName getr
-
A variant of get, which returns the contents in reversed order.
-
stackName peek ? count ?
-
Return the top count items of the stack, without removing them from
the stack. If count is not specified, it defaults to 1. If
count is 1, the result is a simple string; otherwise, it is a
list. If specified, count must be greater than or equal to 1.
If there are not enoughs items on the stack to fulfull the request,
this command will throw an error.
-
stackName peekr ? count ?
-
A variant of peek, which returns the items in reversed order.
-
stackName trim ? newsize ?
-
Shrinks the stack to contain at most newsize elements and
returns a list containing the elements which were removed. Nothing is
done if the stack is already at the specified size, or smaller. In
that case the result is the empty list.
-
stackName trim* ? newsize ?
-
A variant of trim which performs the shrinking, but does not
return the removed elements.
-
stackName pop ? count ?
-
Return the top count items of the stack, and remove them
from the stack. If count is not specified, it defaults to 1.
If count is 1, the result is a simple string; otherwise, it is a
list. If specified, count must be greater than or equal to 1.
If there are not enoughs items on the stack to fulfull the request,
this command will throw an error.
-
stackName push item ? item... ?
-
Push the item or items specified onto the stack. If more than
one item is given, they will be pushed in the order they are
listed.
-
stackName size
-
Return the number of items on the stack.
