\class QList qlist.h
\brief The QList class is a template class that provides doubly linked lists.
\ingroup collection
\ingroup tools
In Qt 2.0 QList is only implemented as a template class. Define a
template instance QList\<X\> to create a list that operates on pointers
to X, or X*.
Example:
\code
#include <qlist.h>
#include <qstring.h>
#include <stdio.h>
class Employee
{
public:
Employee( const QString& name, int salary ) { n=name; s=salary; }
QString name() const { return n; }
int salary() const { return s; }
private:
QString n;
int s;
};
void main()
{
QList<Employee> list; // list of pointers to Employee
list.setAutoDelete( TRUE ); // delete items when they are removed
list.append( new Employee("Bill", 50000) );
list.append( new Employee("Steve",80000) );
list.append( new Employee("Ron", 60000) );
Employee *emp;
for ( emp=list.first(); emp != 0; emp=list.next() )
printf( "%s earns %d\n", emp->name().latin1(), emp->salary() );
}
\endcode
Program output:
\code
Bill earns 50000
Steve earns 80000
Ron earns 60000
\endcode
The list class is indexable and has a \link at() current index\endlink
and a \link current() current item\endlink. The first item corresponds
to index 0. The current index is -1 if the current item is null.
QList has several member functions for traversing the list, but using
a QListIterator can be more practical. Multiple list iterators may
traverse the same list, independent of each other and independent of
the current list item.
In the example above, we make the call setAutoDelete(TRUE).
Enabling auto-deletion tells the list to delete items that are removed
from the list. The default is to not delete items when they are
removed, but that would cause a memory leak in our example since we have
no other references to the list items.
List items are stored as \c void* in an internal QLNode, which also
holds pointers to the next and previous list items. The functions
currentNode(), removeNode() and takeNode() operate directly on the
QLNode, but they should be used with care.
When inserting an item into a list, only the pointer is copied, not the
item itself. This is called a shallow copy. It is possible to make the
list copy all of the item's data (known as a deep copy) when an item is
inserted. insert(), inSort() and append() call the virtual function
QCollection::newItem() for the item to be inserted.
Inherit a list and reimplement it if you want deep copies.
When removing an item from a list, the virtual function
QCollection::deleteItem() is called. QList's default implementation
is to delete the item if auto-deletion is enabled.
The virtual function QGList::compareItems() can be reimplemented to
compare two list items. This function is called from all list functions
that need to compare list items, for instance remove(const type*).
If you only want to deal with pointers, there are functions that
compare pointers instead, for instance removeRef(const type*).
These functions are somewhat faster than those that call compareItems().
The QStrList class in qstrlist.h is a list of \c char*. QStrList is
a good example of a list that reimplements newItem(), deleteItem() and
compareItems()

\fn void QList::sort()
Sorts the list by the result of the virtual compareItems() function.
The Heap-Sort algorithm is used for sorting. It sorts n items with
O(n*log n) compares. This is the asymptotic optimal solution of the
sorting problem.
If the items in your list support operator< and operator== then you
might be better off with QSortedList since it implements the
compareItems() function for you using these two operators.

otherwise.

Inserts the \e item at the position \e index in the list.
Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE if \e index is out of range.
The valid range is <code>0 .. count()</code> inclusive.
The item is appended if \e index == count().
The inserted item becomes the current list item.
The \e item must not be a null pointer.

/*!
\fn void QList::inSort( const type *item )
Inserts the \e item at its sorted position in the list.
The sort order depends on the virtual QGList::compareItems() function.
All items must be inserted with inSort() to maintain the sorting order.
The inserted item becomes the current list item.
The \e item must not be a null pointer.
Please note that inSort is slow. If you want to insert lots of items
in a list and sort after inserting then you should use sort().
inSort() takes up to O(n) compares. That means inserting n items in
your list will need O(n^2) compares while sort() only needs O(n*logn)
for the same task. So you inSort() only if you already have a pre-sorted
list and want to insert only few additional items.

The item after the removed item becomes the new current list item if
the removed item is not the last item in the list. If the last item
is removed, the new last item becomes the current item in Qt 2.x.

\brief The QListIterator class provides an iterator for QList collections.

Define a template instance QListIterator\<X\> to create a list iterator
that operates on QList\<X\> (list of X*).
Example:
\code
#include <qlist.h>
#include <qstring.h>
#include <stdio.h>
class Employee
{
public:
Employee( const char *name, int salary ) { n=name; s=salary; }

QList<Employee> list; // list of pointers to Employee
list.setAutoDelete( TRUE ); // delete items when they are removed
list.append( new Employee("Bill", 50000) );
list.append( new Employee("Steve",80000) );
list.append( new Employee("Ron", 60000) );
QListIterator<Employee> it(list); // iterator for employee list
for ( ; it.current(); ++it ) {
Employee *emp = it.current();
printf( "%s earns %d\n", emp->name().latin1(), emp->salary() );
}
}
\endcode
Program output:
\code
Bill earns 50000
Steve earns 80000
Ron earns 60000
\endcode
Although QList has member functions to traverse the doubly linked list
structure, using a list iterator is a much more robust way of traversing
the list, because multiple list iterators can operate on the same list,
independent of each other and independent of the QList's current item.
An iterator has its own current list item and can get the next and
previous list items. It can only traverse the list, never modify it.
A QList knows about all list iterators that are operating on the list.
When an item is removed from the list, the list update all iterators
that are pointing the removed item to point to the new current list item.
Example:
\code
#include <qlist.h>
#include <qstring.h>
#include <stdio.h>
class Employee
{
... // same as above
};
void main()
{
QList<Employee> list; // list of pointers to Employee
list.setAutoDelete( TRUE ); // delete items when they are removed
list.append( new Employee("Bill", 50000) );
list.append( new Employee("Steve",80000) );
list.append( new Employee("Ron", 60000) );
QListIterator<Employee> it(list);
list.at( 1 ); // current list item: "Steve"
it.toLast(); // it: "Ron"
--it; // it: "Steve"
// Now, both the list and the iterator are referring the same item
list.remove();

typedef QList<char> QStrList
/*!
\class QStrList qstrlist.h
\brief The QStrList class provides a doubly linked list of \c char*.
\inherit QList
\ingroup collection
\ingroup tools
This class is a QList\<char\> instance (a list of char*).
QStrList can make deep or shallow copies of the strings that are inserted.
A deep copy means to allocate space for the string and then copy the string
data into it. A shallow copy is just a copy of the pointer value and not
the string data.
The disadvantage with shallow copies is that since a pointer can only
be deleted once, the program must put all strings in a central place and
know when it is safe to delete them (i.e. when the strings are no longer
referenced by other parts of the program). This can make the program
more complex. The advantage of shallow copies is that shallow copies
consume far less memory than deep copies. It is also much faster
to copy a pointer (typically 4 or 8 bytes) than to copy string data.
A QStrList that operates on deep copies will by default turn on
auto-deletion (see setAutoDelete()). Thus, by default, QStrList will
deallocate any string copies it allocates.
The virtual compareItems() function is reimplemented and does a case
sensitive string comparison. The inSort() function will insert
strings in a sorted order.
The QStrListIterator class is an iterator for QStrList.
