Member Function Documentation

QLinkedList::QLinkedList(QLinkedList<T> &&other)

Move-constructs a QLinkedList instance, making it point at the same object that other was pointing to.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

template <typename InputIterator> QLinkedList::QLinkedList(InputIterator first, InputIterator last)

Constructs a list with the contents in the iterator range [first, last).

The value type of InputIterator must be convertible to T.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

QLinkedList::QLinkedList(std::initializer_list<T> list)

Constructs a list from the std::initializer_list specified by list.

This constructor is only enabled if the compiler supports C++11 initializer lists.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

QLinkedList::QLinkedList(const QLinkedList<T> &other)

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=().

QLinkedList::QLinkedList()

Constructs an empty list.

QLinkedList<T> &QLinkedList::operator=(QLinkedList<T> &&other)

Move-assigns other to this QLinkedList instance.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

QLinkedList<T> &QLinkedList::operator=(const QLinkedList<T> &other)

Assigns other to this list and returns a reference to this list.

QLinkedList::~QLinkedList()

Destroys the list. References to the values in the list, and all iterators over this list, become invalid.

void QLinkedList::append(const T &value)

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().
