/*! \class QLinkedList
    \brief The QLinkedList class is a template class that provides linked lists.

    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \mainclass
    \reentrant

    QLinkedList\<T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
    stores a list of values and provides iterator-based access as
    well as \l{constant time} insertions and removals.

    QList\<T\>, QLinkedList\<T\>, and QVector\<T\> provide similar
    functionality. Here's an overview:

    \list
    \i For most purposes, QList is the right class to use. Its
       index-based API is more convenient than QLinkedList's
       iterator-based API, and it is usually faster than
       QVector because of the way it stores its items in
       memory (see \l{Algorithmic Complexity} for details).
       It also expands to less code in your executable.
    \i If you need a real linked list, with guarantees of \l{constant
       time} insertions in the middle of the list and iterators to
       items rather than indexes, use QLinkedList.
    \i If you want the items to occupy adjacent memory positions,
       use QVector.
    \endlist

    Here's an example of a QLinkedList that stores integers and a
    QLinkedList that stores QTime values:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 0

    QLinkedList stores a list of items. The default constructor
    creates an empty list. To insert items into the list, you can use
    operator<<():

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 1

    If you want to get the first or last item in a linked list, use
    first() or last(). If you want to remove an item from either end
    of the list, use removeFirst() or removeLast(). If you want to
    remove all occurrences of a given value in the list, use
    removeAll().

    A common requirement is to remove the first or last item in the
    list and do something with it. For this, QLinkedList provides
    takeFirst() and takeLast(). Here's a loop that removes the items
    from a list one at a time and calls \c delete on them:
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 2

    QLinkedList's value type must be an \l {assignable data type}. This
    covers most data types that are commonly used, but the compiler
    won't let you, for example, store a QWidget as a value; instead,
    store a QWidget *. A few functions have additional requirements;
    for example, contains() and removeAll() expect the value type to
    support \c operator==().  These requirements are documented on a
    per-function basis.

    If you want to insert, modify, or remove items in the middle of
    the list, you must use an iterator. QLinkedList provides both
    \l{Java-style iterators} (QLinkedListIterator and
    QMutableLinkedListIterator) and \l{STL-style iterators}
    (QLinkedList::const_iterator and QLinkedList::iterator). See the
    documentation for these classes for details.

/*! \fn QLinkedList::QLinkedList(const QLinkedList<T> &other)

    This operation occurs in \l{constant time}, because QLinkedList
    is \l{implicitly shared}. This makes returning a QLinkedList from
    a function very fast. If a shared instance is modified, it will
    be copied (copy-on-write), and this takes \l{linear time}.

/*! \class QLinkedList::iterator
    \brief The QLinkedList::iterator class provides an STL-style non-const iterator for QLinkedList.

    QLinkedList features both \l{STL-style iterators} and
    \l{Java-style iterators}. The STL-style iterators are more
    low-level and more cumbersome to use; on the other hand, they are
    slightly faster and, for developers who already know STL, have
    the advantage of familiarity.

    QLinkedList\<T\>::iterator allows you to iterate over a
    QLinkedList\<T\> and to modify the list item associated with the
    iterator. If you want to iterate over a const QLinkedList, use
    QLinkedList::const_iterator instead. It is generally good
    practice to use QLinkedList::const_iterator on a non-const
    QLinkedList as well, unless you need to change the QLinkedList
    through the iterator. Const iterators are slightly faster, and
    can improve code readability.

    The default QLinkedList::iterator constructor creates an
    uninitialized iterator. You must initialize it using a
    function like QLinkedList::begin(), QLinkedList::end(), or
    QLinkedList::insert() before you can start iterating. Here's a
    typical loop that prints all the items stored in a list:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 7

    STL-style iterators can be used as arguments to \l{generic
    algorithms}. For example, here's how to find an item in the list
    using the qFind() algorithm:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 8

    Let's see a few examples of things we can do with a
    QLinkedList::iterator that we cannot do with a QLinkedList::const_iterator.
    Here's an example that increments every value stored in a
    QLinkedList\<int\> by 2:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 9

    Here's an example that removes all the items that start with an
    underscore character in a QLinkedList\<QString\>:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 10

    The call to QLinkedList::erase() removes the item pointed to by
    the iterator from the list, and returns an iterator to the next
    item. Here's another way of removing an item while iterating:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 11

    It might be tempting to write code like this:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 12

    However, this will potentially crash in \c{++i}, because \c i is
    a dangling iterator after the call to erase().

    Multiple iterators can be used on the same list. If you add items
    to the list, existing iterators will remain valid. If you remove
    items from the list, iterators that point to the removed items
    will become dangling iterators. However, because of how \l{implicit
    sharing} works, you must not take a copy of a container while
    iterators are active on that container.
