Define a template - instance Q3MemArray\<X\> to create an array that contains X items. - - Q3MemArray stores the array elements directly in the array. It can - only deal with simple types (i.e. C++ types, structs, and classes - that have no constructors, destructors, or virtual functions). - Q3MemArray uses bitwise operations to copy and compare array - elements. - - The Q3PtrVector collection class is also a kind of array. Like most - old Qt collection classes, it uses pointers to the contained items. - - Q3MemArray uses explicit sharing with a - reference count. If more than one array shares common data and one - of the arrays is modified, all the arrays are modified. - - The benefit of sharing is that a program does not need to duplicate - data when it is not required, which results in lower memory use - and less copying of data. - - Example: - \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_q3memarray.qdoc 0 - - Program output: - \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_q3memarray.qdoc 1 - - Note concerning the use of Q3MemArray for manipulating structs or - classes: Compilers will often pad the size of structs of odd sizes - up to the nearest word boundary. This will then be the size - Q3MemArray will use for its bitwise element comparisons. Because - the remaining bytes will typically be uninitialized, this can - cause find() etc. to fail to find the element. Example: - - \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_q3memarray.qdoc 2 - - To work around this, make sure that you use a struct where - sizeof() returns the same as the sum of the sizes of the members - either by changing the types of the struct members or by adding - dummy members. - - Q3MemArray data can be traversed by iterators (see begin() and - end()). The number of items is returned by count(). The array can - be resized with resize() and filled using fill(). - - You can make a shallow copy of the array with assign() (or - operator=()) and a deep copy with duplicate(). - - Search for values in the array with find() and contains(). For - sorted arrays (see sort()) you can search using bsearch(). - - You can set the data directly using setRawData() and - resetRawData(), although this requires care. -*/ - -/*! \fn Q3MemArray::operator QVector<type>() const - - Automatically converts the Q3MemArray<type> into a QVector<type>. -*/ - -/*! \typedef Q3MemArray::Iterator - A Q3MemArray iterator. - \sa begin() end() -*/ -/*! \typedef Q3MemArray::ConstIterator - A const Q3MemArray iterator. - \sa begin() end() -*/ -/*! \typedef Q3MemArray::ValueType - \internal -*/ - -/*! - \fn Q3MemArray::Q3MemArray() - - Constructs a null array. - - \sa isNull() -*/ - -/*! - \fn Q3MemArray::Q3MemArray( int size ) - - Constructs an array with room for \a size elements.
