NAME

TAP::Parser::Iterator − Base class for TAP source iterators

VERSION

Version 3.23

SYNOPSIS

  # to subclass:
  use vars qw(@ISA);
  use TAP::Parser::Iterator ();
  @ISA = qw(TAP::Parser::Iterator);
  sub _initialize {
    # see TAP::Object...
  }
  sub next_raw { ... }
  sub wait     { ... }
  sub exit     { ... }

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple iterator base class that defines TAP::Parser’s iterator API . Iterators are typically created from TAP::Parser::SourceHandlers.

METHODS

Class Methods
"new"

Create an iterator. Provided by TAP::Object.

Instance Methods
"next"

 while ( my $item = $iter−>next ) { ... }

Iterate through it, of course.

"next_raw"

Note: this method is abstract and should be overridden.

 while ( my $item = $iter−>next_raw ) { ... }

Iterate raw input without applying any fixes for quirky input syntax.

"handle_unicode"

If necessary switch the input stream to handle unicode. This only has any effect for I/O handle based streams.

The default implementation does nothing.

"get_select_handles"

Return a list of filehandles that may be used upstream in a select() call to signal that this Iterator is ready. Iterators that are not handle-based should return an empty list.

The default implementation does nothing.

"wait"

Note: this method is abstract and should be overridden.

 my $wait_status = $iter−>wait;

Return the "wait" status for this iterator.

"exit"

Note: this method is abstract and should be overridden.

 my $wait_status = $iter−>exit;

Return the "exit" status for this iterator.

SUBCLASSING

Please see " SUBCLASSING " in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview.

You must override the abstract methods as noted above.

Example
TAP::Parser::Iterator::Array is probably the easiest example to follow. There’s not much point repeating it here.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
