TDictionary

Unit tests > TDictionary

Delphi's class TDictionary is defined in the unit System.Generics.Collections. It is relatively complex and it uses much parts of the RTL. The correctness of the translation of code in which this class is used is guaranteed by a unit test which is derived from an Embarcadero example.

Generics.Collections.TDictionary" target="_blank" class="weblink">http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/CodeExamples/Rio/en/Generics_Collections_TDictionary_(Delphi)">Generics.Collections.TDictionary

As for all test cases, the output operations have been replaced by boolean expressions which are checked at the execution of the test.

The translation with Delphi2Cpp II doesn't require any further manual post-processing and is shown below. A couple of explanations follow.

Though the C++ version of TDictionary has the same interfaces as the Delphi version, it isn't a direct translation of the  Delphi code. To guarantee a smooth integration of TDictionary into other C++ code, the class is derived from std::unordered_map. Therefore class doesn't only dispose the Delphi enumerators but also of C++ iterators. The latter are used implecitely also at the range based for-loop:

for Key in Dictionary.Keys do

->

for(TCity* element_0 : *Dictionary->ReadPropertyValues())

The C++ translation from BobJenkinsHash in System.Generics.Defaults is used as hash function for the unordered map.
