The QLinkedList class is a template class that provides linked lists. More...
#include <QLinkedList>
Inherited by Q3ValueList.
Note: All the functions in this class are reentrant.
The QLinkedList class is a template class that provides linked lists.
QLinkedList<T> is one of Qt's generic container classes. It stores a list of values and provides iterator-based access as well as constant time insertions and removals.
QList<T>, QLinkedList<T>, and QVector<T> provide similar functionality. Here's an overview:
Here's an example of a QLinkedList that stores integers and a QLinkedList that stores QTime values:
QLinkedList<int> integerList;
QLinkedList<QTime> timeList;
QLinkedList stores a list of items. The default constructor creates an empty list. To insert items into the list, you can use operator<<():
QLinkedList<QString> list;
list << "one" << "two" << "three";
// list: ["one", "two", "three"]
If you want to get the first or last item in a linked list, use first() or last(). If you want to remove an item from either end of the list, use removeFirst() or removeLast(). If you want to remove all occurrences of a given value in the list, use removeAll().
A common requirement is to remove the first or last item in the list and do something with it. For this, QLinkedList provides takeFirst() and takeLast(). Here's a loop that removes the items from a list one at a time and calls delete on them:
QLinkedList<QWidget *> list;
...
while (!list.isEmpty())
delete list.takeFirst();
QLinkedList's value type must be an assignable data type. This covers most data types that are commonly used, but the compiler won't let you, for example, store a QWidget as a value; instead, store a QWidget *. A few functions have additional requirements; for example, contains() and removeAll() expect the value type to support operator==(). These requirements are documented on a per-function basis.
If you want to insert, modify, or remove items in the middle of the list, you must use an iterator. QLinkedList provides both Java-style iterators (QLinkedListIterator and QMutableLinkedListIterator) and STL-style iterators (QLinkedList::const_iterator and QLinkedList::iterator). See the documentation for these classes for details.

Qt-style synonym for QList::const_iterator.
Qt-style synonym for QList::iterator.

Constructs an empty list.
Constructs a copy of other.
This operation occurs in constant time, because QLinkedList is implicitly shared. This makes returning a QLinkedList from a function very fast. If a shared instance is modified, it will be copied (copy-on-write), and this takes linear time.
See also operator=().
Destroys the list. References to the values in the list, and all iterators over this list, become invalid.
Inserts value at the end of the list.
Example:
QLinkedList<QString> list;
list.append("one");
list.append("two");
list.append("three");
// list: ["one", "two", "three"]
This is the same as list.insert(end(), value).
See also operator<<(), prepend(), and insert().

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

See also insert().

Removes all the items from begin up to (but not including) end.
Returns a reference to the first item in the list. This function assumes that the list isn't empty.

Returns a QLinkedList object with the data contained in list. The order of the elements in the QLinkedList is the same as in list.
Example:
std::list<double> stdlist;
list.push_back(1.2);
list.push_back(0.5);
list.push_back(3.14);
QLinkedList<double> list = QLinkedList<double>::fromStdList(stdlist);
This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.
