    43     \class Q3PtrQueue
       
    44     \brief The Q3PtrQueue class is a template class that provides a queue.
       
    45     \compat
       
    46 
       
    47     Q3ValueVector can be used as an STL-compatible alternative to this
       
    48     class.
       
    49 
       
    50     A template instance Q3PtrQueue\<X\> is a queue that operates on
       
    51     pointers to X (X*).
       
    52 
       
    53     A queue is a first in, first out structure. Items are added to the
       
    54     tail of the queue with enqueue() and retrieved from the head with
       
    55     dequeue(). You can peek at the head item without dequeing it using
       
    56     head().
       
    57 
       
    58     You can control the queue's deletion policy with setAutoDelete().
       
    59 
       
    60     For compatibility with the Q3PtrCollection classes, current() and
       
    61     remove() are provided; both operate on the head().

    94     This queue is first cleared and then each item in \a queue is

    99     double-deletion of the items.
