Tools.h++ Class Reference

Those with access to the Standard C++ Library-based versions of the Tools.h++ template
collections should consider the following:
// Figures out the current date just once:
RWTValOrderedVector<RWDate> v(5000, RWDate());
Thanks to the smart allocation scheme of the standard collections, the above declaration will
result in only one call to the default constructor followed by 5000 invocations of the copy
constructor. In the case of RWDate, the copy constructor amounts to an assignment of one long
to another, resulting in faster creation than the simple array.
Persistence
Simple
Example
#include <rw/rwdate.h>
#include <rw/rstream.h>
main(){
// Today's date
RWDate d;
// Last Sunday's date:
RWDate lastSunday = d.previous("Sunday");
cout << d << endl << lastSunday << endl;
}
Program output:
03/22/91
03/17/91
Public Constructors
RWDate();
Default constructor. Constructs an RWDate with the present date.
RWDate(const RWDate&);
Copy constructor.
RWDate(unsigned day, unsigned year);
Constructs an RWDate with a given day of the year and a given year. The member
function isValid() can be used to test whether the results are a valid date.
