    \class Q3IntDict

    \brief The Q3IntDict class is a template class that provides a dictionary based on long keys.\

    \compat

    Q3IntDict is implemented as a template class. Define a template

    instance Q3IntDict\<X\> to create a dictionary that operates on

    pointers to X (X*).

    A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. The key is an \c

    long used for insertion, removal and lookup. The value is a

    pointer. Dictionaries provide very fast insertion and lookup.

    Example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_q3intdict.qdoc 0

    See Q3Dict for full details, including the choice of dictionary

    size, and how deletions are handled. 

    \sa Q3IntDictIterator, Q3Dict, Q3AsciiDict, Q3PtrDict

*/

/*!

    \fn Q3IntDict::Q3IntDict( int size )

    Constructs a dictionary using an internal hash array of size \a

    size.

    Setting \a size to a suitably large prime number (equal to or

    greater than the expected number of entries) makes the hash

    distribution better which leads to faster lookup.

*/

/*!

    \fn Q3IntDict::Q3IntDict( const Q3IntDict<type> &dict )

    Constructs a copy of \a dict.

    Each item in \a dict is inserted into this dictionary. Only the

    pointers are copied (shallow copy).

*/

/*!

    \fn Q3IntDict::~Q3IntDict()

    Removes all items from the dictionary and destroys it.

    All iterators that access this dictionary will be reset.

    \sa setAutoDelete()

*/

/*!

    \fn Q3IntDict<type> &Q3IntDict::operator=(const Q3IntDict<type> &dict)

    Assigns \a dict to this dictionary and returns a reference to this

    dictionary.

    This dictionary is first cleared and then each item in \a dict is

    inserted into this dictionary. Only the pointers are copied

    (shallow copy), unless newItem() has been reimplemented.

*/

/*!

    \fn uint Q3IntDict::count() const

    Returns the number of items in the dictionary.

    \sa isEmpty()

*/

/*!

    \fn uint Q3IntDict::size() const

    Returns the size of the internal hash array (as specified in the

    constructor).

    \sa count()

*/

/*!

    \fn void Q3IntDict::resize( uint newsize )

    Changes the size of the hashtable to \a newsize. The contents of

    the dictionary are preserved, but all iterators on the dictionary

    become invalid.

*/

/*!

    \fn bool Q3IntDict::isEmpty() const

    Returns TRUE if the dictionary is empty; otherwise returns FALSE.

    \sa count()

*/

/*!

    \fn void Q3IntDict::insert( long key, const type *item )

    Insert item \a item into the dictionary using key \a key.

    Multiple items can have the same key, in which case only the last

    item will be accessible using \l operator[]().

    \a item may not be 0.

    \sa replace()

*/

/*!

    \fn void Q3IntDict::replace( long key, const type *item )

    If the dictionary has key \a key, this key's item is replaced with

    \a item. If the dictionary doesn't contain key \a key, \a item is

    inserted into the dictionary using key \a key. 

    \a item may not be 0.

    Equivalent to:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_q3intdict.qdoc 1

    If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most

    recently inserted item will be replaced.

    \sa insert()

*/

/*!

    \fn bool Q3IntDict::remove( long key )

    Removes the item associated with \a key from the dictionary.

    Returns TRUE if successful, i.e. if the \a key is in the

    dictionary; otherwise returns FALSE.

    If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most

    recently inserted item will be removed.

    The removed item is deleted if \link

    Q3PtrCollection::setAutoDelete() auto-deletion\endlink is enabled.

    All dictionary iterators that refer to the removed item will be

    set to point to the next item in the dictionary's traversal

    order.

    \sa take(), clear(), setAutoDelete()

*/

/*!

    \fn type *Q3IntDict::take( long key )

    Takes the item associated with \a key out of the dictionary

    without deleting it (even if \link Q3PtrCollection::setAutoDelete()

    auto-deletion\endlink is enabled).

    If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most

    recently inserted item will be taken.

    Returns a pointer to the item taken out, or 0 if the key does not

    exist in the dictionary.

    All dictionary iterators that refer to the taken item will be set

    to point to the next item in the dictionary's traversing order.

    \sa remove(), clear(), setAutoDelete()

*/

/*!

    \fn void Q3IntDict::clear()

    Removes all items from the dictionary.

    The removed items are deleted if \link

    Q3PtrCollection::setAutoDelete() auto-deletion\endlink is enabled.

    All dictionary iterators that access this dictionary will be reset.

    \sa remove(), take(), setAutoDelete()

*/

/*!

    \fn type *Q3IntDict::find( long key ) const

    Returns the item associated with \a key, or 0 if the key does not

    exist in the dictionary.

    If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most

    recently inserted item will be found.

    Equivalent to operator[].

    \sa operator[]()

*/

/*!

    \fn type *Q3IntDict::operator[]( long key ) const

    Returns the item associated with \a key, or 0 if the key does not

    exist in the dictionary.

    If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most

    recently inserted item will be found.

    Equivalent to the find() function.

    \sa find()

*/

/*!

    \fn void Q3IntDict::statistics() const

    Debugging-only function that prints out the dictionary

    distribution using qDebug().

*/

/*!

    \fn QDataStream& Q3IntDict::read( QDataStream &s, Q3PtrCollection::Item &item )

    Reads a dictionary item from the stream \a s and returns a

    reference to the stream.

    The default implementation sets \a item to 0.

    \sa write()

*/

/*!

    \fn QDataStream& Q3IntDict::write( QDataStream &s, Q3PtrCollection::Item item ) const

    Writes a dictionary \a item to the stream \a s and returns a

    reference to the stream.

    \sa read()

*/

/*!

    \class Q3IntDictIterator

    \brief The Q3IntDictIterator class provides an iterator for Q3IntDict collections.

    \compat

    Q3IntDictIterator is implemented as a template class. Define a

    template instance Q3IntDictIterator\<X\> to create a dictionary

    iterator that operates on Q3IntDict\<X\> (dictionary of X*).

    Example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_q3intdict.qdoc 2

    Note that the traversal order is arbitrary; you are not guaranteed the

    order shown above.

    Multiple iterators may independently traverse the same dictionary.

    A Q3IntDict knows about all the iterators that are operating on the

    dictionary. When an item is removed from the dictionary, Q3IntDict

    updates all iterators that refer the removed item to point to the

    next item in the traversal order.

    \sa Q3IntDict

*/

/*!

    \fn Q3IntDictIterator::Q3IntDictIterator( const Q3IntDict<type> &dict )

    Constructs an iterator for \a dict. The current iterator item is

    set to point to the 'first' item in the \a dict. The first item

    refers to the first item in the dictionary's arbitrary internal

    ordering.

*/

/*!

    \fn Q3IntDictIterator::~Q3IntDictIterator()

    Destroys the iterator.

*/

/*!

    \fn uint Q3IntDictIterator::count() const

    Returns the number of items in the dictionary this iterator

    operates over.

    \sa isEmpty()

*/

/*!

    \fn bool Q3IntDictIterator::isEmpty() const

    Returns TRUE if the dictionary is empty; otherwise eturns FALSE.

    \sa count()

*/

/*!

    \fn type *Q3IntDictIterator::toFirst()

    Sets the current iterator item to point to the first item in the

    dictionary and returns a pointer to the item. The first item

    refers to the first item in the dictionary's arbitrary internal

    ordering. If the dictionary is  empty it sets the current item to

    0 and returns 0.

*/

/*!

    \fn Q3IntDictIterator::operator type *() const

    Cast operator. Returns a pointer to the current iterator item.

    Same as current().

*/

/*!

    \fn type *Q3IntDictIterator::current() const

    Returns a pointer to the current iterator item.

*/

/*!

    \fn long Q3IntDictIterator::currentKey() const

    Returns the key for the current iterator item.

*/

/*!

    \fn type *Q3IntDictIterator::operator()()

    Makes the succeeding item current and returns the original current

    item.

    If the current iterator item was the last item in the dictionary

    or if it was 0, 0 is returned.

*/

/*!

  \fn type *Q3IntDictIterator::operator++()

    Prefix ++ makes the succeeding item current and returns the new

    current item.

    If the current iterator item was the last item in the dictionary

    or if it was 0, 0 is returned.

*/

/*!

    \fn type *Q3IntDictIterator::operator+=( uint jump )

    Sets the current item to the item \a jump positions after the

    current item, and returns a pointer to that item.

    If that item is beyond the last item or if the dictionary is

    empty, it sets the current item to 0 and returns 0.
