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.

void PrintCollectionHeader(Option_t* option) const;
const char* GetCollectionEntryName(TObject* entry) const;
void PrintCollectionEntry(TObject* entry, Option_t* option, Int_t recurse) const;

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