42 \class QCollection qcollection.h
43 \brief The QCollection class is the base class of all Qt collections.
44
45 \ingroup collection
46 \ingroup tools
47
48 The QCollection class is an abstract base class for the Qt \link
49 collection.html collection classes\endlink QDict, QList etc. via QGDict,
50 QGList etc.
51
52 A QCollection knows only about the number of objects in the
53 collection and the deletion strategy (see setAutoDelete()).
54
55 A collection is implemented using the \c Item (generic collection
56 item) type, which is a \c void*. The template classes that create
57 the real collections cast the \c Item to the required type.
58
59 \sa \link collection.html Collection Classes\endlink

63/*! \enum QCollection::Item
64
65 This type is the generic "item" in a QCollection.
66*/
67
68
69/*!
70 \fn QCollection::QCollection()
71
72 Constructs a collection. The constructor is protected because
73 QCollection is an abstract class.
74*/
75
76/*!
77 \fn QCollection::QCollection( const QCollection & source )
78
79 Constructs a copy of \a source with autoDelete() set to FALSE. The
80 constructor is protected because QCollection is an abstract class.
81
82 Note that if \a source has autoDelete turned on, copying it is a
83 good way to get memory leaks, reading freed memory, or both.
84*/
85
86/*!
87 \fn QCollection::~QCollection()
88 Destroys the collection. The destructor is protected because QCollection
89 is an abstract class.

92
93/*!
94 \fn bool QCollection::autoDelete() const
95 Returns the setting of the auto-delete option (default is FALSE).

97*/
98
99/*!
100 \fn void QCollection::setAutoDelete( bool enable )
101
102 Sets the auto-delete option of the collection.
103
104 Enabling auto-delete (\e enable is TRUE) will delete objects that
105 are removed from the collection. This can be useful if the
106 collection has the only reference to the objects. (Note that the
107 object can still be copied using the copy constructor - copying such
108 objects is a good way to get memory leaks, reading freed memory or
109 both.)
110
111 Disabling auto-delete (\e enable is FALSE) will \e not delete objects
112 that are removed from the collection. This is useful if the objects
113 are part of many collections.
114
115 The default setting is FALSE.

138 The default implementation returns the \e d pointer, i.e. no copy
139 is made.
140
141 This function is seldom reimplemented in the collection template
142 classes. It is not common practice to make a copy of something
143 that is being inserted.

159
160 This function is always reimplemented in the collection template
161 classes.
162
163 \warning If you reimplement this function you must also reimplement
164 the destructor and call the virtual function clear() from your
165 destructor. This is due to the way virtual functions and
166 destructors work in C++: virtual functions in derived classes cannot
167 be called from a destructor. If you do not do this your
168 deleteItem() function will not be called when the container is
169 destructed.
