+ \class Q3IntDict
+ \brief The Q3IntDict class is a template class that provides a dictionary based on long keys.\
+ \compat
+
+ Q3IntDict is implemented as a template class. Define a template
+ instance Q3IntDict\<X\> to create a dictionary that operates on
+ pointers to X (X*).
+
+ A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. The key is an \c
+ long used for insertion, removal and lookup. The value is a
+ pointer. Dictionaries provide very fast insertion and lookup.
+
+ Example:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_q3intdict.qdoc 0
+
+ See Q3Dict for full details, including the choice of dictionary
+ size, and how deletions are handled.
