    \class QVector
    \brief The QVector class is a template class that provides a dynamic array.

    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared

    \reentrant

    QVector\<T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
    stores its items in adjacent memory locations and provides fast
    index-based access.

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

    \list
    \i For most purposes, QList is the right class to use. Operations
       like prepend() and insert() are usually faster than with
       QVector because of the way QList stores its items in memory
       (see \l{Algorithmic Complexity} for details),
       and its index-based API is more convenient than QLinkedList's
       iterator-based API. 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, or
       if your items are larger than a pointer and you want to avoid
       the overhead of allocating them on the heap individually at
       insertion time, then use QVector.
    \i If you want a low-level variable-size array, QVarLengthArray
       may be sufficient.
    \endlist

    Here's an example of a QVector that stores integers and a QVector
    that stores QString values:

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

    QVector stores a vector (or array) of items. Typically, vectors
    are created with an initial size. For example, the following code
    constructs a QVector with 200 elements:

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

    The elements are automatically initialized with a
    \l{default-constructed value}. If you want to initialize the
    vector with a different value, pass that value as the second
    argument to the constructor:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qvector.cpp 2

    You can also call fill() at any time to fill the vector with a
    value.

    QVector uses 0-based indexes, just like C++ arrays. To access the
    item at a particular index position, you can use operator[](). On
    non-const vectors, operator[]() returns a reference to the item
    that can be used on the left side of an assignment:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qvector.cpp 3

    For read-only access, an alternative syntax is to use at():

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qvector.cpp 4

    at() can be faster than operator[](), because it never causes a
    \l{deep copy} to occur.

    Another way to access the data stored in a QVector is to call
    data(). The function returns a pointer to the first item in the
    vector. You can use the pointer to directly access and modify the
    elements stored in the vector. The pointer is also useful if you
    need to pass a QVector to a function that accepts a plain C++
    array.

    If you want to find all occurrences of a particular value in a
    vector, use indexOf() or lastIndexOf(). The former searches
    forward starting from a given index position, the latter searches
    backward. Both return the index of the matching item if they found
    one; otherwise, they return -1. For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qvector.cpp 5

    If you simply want to check whether a vector contains a
    particular value, use contains(). If you want to find out how
    many times a particular value occurs in the vector, use count().

    QVector provides these basic functions to add, move, and remove
    items: insert(), replace(), remove(), prepend(), append(). With
    the exception of append() and replace(), these functions can be slow
    (\l{linear time}) for large vectors, because they require moving many
    items in the vector by one position in memory. If you want a container
    class that provides fast insertion/removal in the middle, use
    QList or QLinkedList instead.

    Unlike plain C++ arrays, QVectors can be resized at any time by
    calling resize(). If the new size is larger than the old size,
    QVector might need to reallocate the whole vector. QVector tries
    to reduce the number of reallocations by preallocating up to twice
    as much memory as the actual data needs.

    If you know in advance approximately how many items the QVector
    will contain, you can call reserve(), asking QVector to
    preallocate a certain amount of memory. You can also call
    capacity() to find out how much memory QVector actually
    allocated.

    Note that using non-const operators and functions can cause
    QVector to do a deep copy of the data. This is due to \l{implicit sharing}.

    QVector'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, indexOf() and lastIndexOf() expect the value type to
    support \c operator==().  These requirements are documented on a
    per-function basis.

    Like the other container classes, QVector provides \l{Java-style
    iterators} (QVectorIterator and QMutableVectorIterator) and
    \l{STL-style iterators} (QVector::const_iterator and
    QVector::iterator). In practice, these are rarely used, because
    you can use indexes into the QVector.

    In addition to QVector, Qt also provides QVarLengthArray, a very
    low-level class with little functionality that is optimized for
    speed.

    QVector does \e not support inserting, prepending, appending or replacing
    with references to its own values. Doing so will cause your application to
    abort with an error message.

    \sa size()

/*! \fn int QVector::capacity() const

    Returns the maximum number of items that can be stored in the

    The sole purpose of this function is to provide a means of fine

/*! \fn void QVector::reserve(int size)

    Attempts to allocate memory for at least \a size elements. If you
    know in advance how large the vector will be, you can call this
    function, and if you call resize() often you are likely to get
    better performance. If \a size is an underestimate, the worst
    that will happen is that the QVector will be a bit slower.

    The sole purpose of this function is to provide a means of fine
    tuning QVector's memory usage. In general, you will rarely ever
    need to call this function. If you want to change the size of the

    Inserts \a value at the end of the vector.

    This is the same as calling resize(size() + 1) and assigning \a
    value to the new last element in the vector.

    This operation is relatively fast, because QVector typically
    allocates more memory than necessary, so it can grow without
    reallocating the entire vector each time.

    This is the same as vector.insert(0, \a value).

    For large vectors, this operation can be slow (\l{linear time}),
    because it requires moving all the items in the vector by one
    position further in memory. If you want a container class that

/*! \fn void QVector::insert(int i, const T &value)

    Inserts \a value at index position \a i in the vector. If \a i is

    value is appended to the vector.

    Example:
