Implements IteratorAggregate, Traversable, ArrayAccess
Since 1.1.2
Source Code framework/gii/CCodeModel.php
CCodeModel is the base class for model classes that are used to generate code.

Each code generator should have at least one code model class that extends from this class. The purpose of a code model is to represent user-supplied parameters and use them to generate customized code.

Derived classes should implement the prepare method whose main task is to fill up the files property based on the user parameters.

The files property should be filled with a set of CCodeFile instances, each representing a single code file to be generated.

CCodeModel implements the feature of "sticky attributes". A sticky attribute is an attribute that can remember its last valid value, even if the user closes his browser window and reopen it. To declare an attribute is sticky, simply list it in a validation rule with the validator name being "sticky".
