    43     \class QQueue
       
    44     \brief The QQueue class is a generic container that provides a queue.
       
    45

    50 
       
    51     QQueue\<T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
       
    52     implements a queue data structure for items of a same type.
       
    53 
       
    54     A queue is a first in, first out (FIFO) structure. Items are
       
    55     added to the tail of the queue using enqueue() and retrieved from
       
    56     the head using dequeue(). The head() function provides access to
       
    57     the head item without removing it.
       
    58 
       
    59     Example:
       
    60     \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qqueue.cpp 0
       
    61 
       
    62     The example will output 1, 2, 3 in that order.
       
    63 
       
    64     QQueue inherits from QList. All of QList's functionality also
       
    65     applies to QQueue. For example, you can use isEmpty() to test
       
    66     whether the queue is empty, and you can traverse a QQueue using
       
    67     QList's iterator classes (for example, QListIterator). But in
       
    68     addition, QQueue provides three convenience functions that make
       
    69     it easy to implement FIFO semantics: enqueue(), dequeue(), and
       
    70     head().
       
    71 
       
    72     QQueue's value type must be an \l{assignable data type}. This
       
    73     covers most data types that are commonly used, but the compiler
       
    74     won't let you, for example, store a QWidget as a value. Use
       
    75     QWidget* instead.

    90     iterators over this queue, become invalid.
