CFD Online Discussion Forums - multiphaseEulerFoam: forAllIter(PtrDictionary<phaseModel>, phases

hi,

within method solve of multiphaseEulerFoam is found:

Code:

forAllIter(PtrDictionary<phaseModel>, phases_, iter)  //fuer alle Phasen 

        { 

            phaseModel& phase = iter();

for forAllIter(...) is found:

Code:

for                                                                        \

    (                                                                          \

        Container::iterator iter = (container).begin();                        \

        iter != (container).end();                                             \

        ++iter                                                                 \

    )

Iterate across all elements in the container object of type Container.

Usage

forAll(ContainerType, container, iter)

{

    statements;

}

In the first codesnippet operator () is used on iter and since iter is of type

Code:

PtrDictionary<phaseModel>::iterator

I have chosen the following operator method:

Code:

template<class T>

  199 inline T& Foam::PtrList<T>::iterator::operator()()

  200 {

  201     return operator*();

  202 }

What is "operator*()" in line 201 exactly?

greetings
