+ \class Q3PtrQueue
+ \brief The Q3PtrQueue class is a template class that provides a queue.
+ \compat
+
+ Q3ValueVector can be used as an STL-compatible alternative to this
+ class.
+
+ A template instance Q3PtrQueue\<X\> is a queue that operates on
+ pointers to X (X*).
+
+ A queue is a first in, first out structure. Items are added to the
+ tail of the queue with enqueue() and retrieved from the head with
+ dequeue(). You can peek at the head item without dequeing it using
+ head().
+
+ You can control the queue's deletion policy with setAutoDelete().
+
+ For compatibility with the Q3PtrCollection classes, current() and
+ remove() are provided; both operate on the head().
