I want to remove an object from a TList. From this object I only have a
it's name. It seems to me that I have to loop through the TList twice to
remove the object. What I do:
I have:
TList *fList; // containing several objects
Text_t *name; // which has the name of an object in fList to be removed
I do:
TObject *obj = fList->FindObject(name);
fList->Remove(obj);
Looking into the code I see that both members of TList loop through the
list. What I would like is:
fList->Remove(name);
Not iterating the list twice in this case could also be achieved if we
get a member
TObjLink TList::FindObject(name);
and then use
TList::DeleteLink(TObjLink *lnk);
but this is (correctly!, becuase a user of TList should not have to know
it is implemented with TObjLinks) a protected memeber.
If I don't miss another option to achieve this my 'request for
enhancement' is to implement TList::Remove(name). It shouldn't be to
difficult, and can safe time in case of long lists.
Thanks,
