    43   \class Q3PtrStack
       
    44   \brief The Q3PtrStack class is a template class that provides a stack.
       
    45   \compat
       
    46 
       
    47   Q3ValueStack is an STL-compatible alternative to this class.
       
    48 
       
    49   Define a template instance Q3PtrStack\<X\> to create a stack that
       
    50   operates on pointers to X, (X*). 
       
    51 
       
    52   A stack is a last in, first out (LIFO) structure. Items are added
       
    53   to the top of the stack with push() and retrieved from the top
       
    54   with pop(). Use top() to get a reference to the top element
       
    55   without changing the stack.
       
    56 
       
    57   You can control the stack's deletion policy with setAutoDelete().
       
    58 
       
    59   For compatibility with the Q3PtrCollection classes current() and
       
    60   remove() are provided; they both operate on the top().

   166   The same as Q3PtrCollection::autoDelete(). Returns true if 
       
   167   the auto-delete option is set. If the option is set, the 
       
   168   stack auto-deletes its contents.

   174   \fn void Q3PtrStack::setAutoDelete(bool enable) 
       
   175 
       
   176   Defines whether this stack auto-deletes its contents. The same as
       
   177   Q3PtrCollection::setAutoDelete(). If \a enable is true, auto-delete
       
   178   is turned on.
       
   179 
       
   180   If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in the stack are
       
   181   deleted when the stack itself is deleted. This is convenient if
       
   182   the stack has the only pointers to the items.
       
   183 
       
   184   The default setting is false, for safety. If you turn it on, be
       
   185   careful about copying the stack, or you might find yourself with
       
   186   two stacks deleting the same items.
       
   187 
       
   188   Note that the auto-delete setting may also affect other functions in
       
   189   subclasses. For example, a subclass that has a remove() function
       
   190   will remove the item from its data structure, and if auto-delete is
       
   191   enabled, will also delete the item.
