A template instance Q3PtrQueue\ 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(). \sa Q3PtrList Q3PtrStack */ /*! \fn Q3PtrQueue::Q3PtrQueue () Creates an empty queue with autoDelete() set to FALSE. */ /*! \fn Q3PtrQueue::Q3PtrQueue( const Q3PtrQueue& queue ) Creates a queue from \a queue. Only the pointers are copied; the items are not. The autoDelete() flag is set to FALSE. */ /*! \fn Q3PtrQueue::~Q3PtrQueue() Destroys the queue. Items in the queue are deleted if autoDelete() is TRUE. */ /*! \fn Q3PtrQueue& Q3PtrQueue::operator= (const Q3PtrQueue& queue) Assigns \a queue to this queue and returns a reference to this queue. This queue is first cleared and then each item in \a queue is enqueued to this queue. Only the pointers are copied. \warning The autoDelete() flag is not modified. If it is TRUE for both \a queue and this queue, deleting the two lists will cause \e double-deletion of the items. */ /*! \fn bool Q3PtrQueue::isEmpty() const Returns TRUE if the queue is empty; otherwise returns FALSE. \sa count() dequeue() head() */ /*! \fn void Q3PtrQueue::enqueue (const type* d) Adds item \a d to the tail of the queue. \sa count() dequeue() */ /*! \fn type* Q3PtrQueue::dequeue () Takes the head item from the queue and returns a pointer to it. Returns 0 if the queue is empty. \sa enqueue() count() */ /*! \fn bool Q3PtrQueue::remove() Removes the head item from the queue, and returns TRUE if there was an item, i.e. the queue wasn't empty; otherwise returns FALSE. The item is deleted if autoDelete() is TRUE. \sa head() isEmpty() dequeue() */ /*! \fn void Q3PtrQueue::clear() Removes all items from the queue, and deletes them if autoDelete() is TRUE. \sa remove() */ /*! \fn uint Q3PtrQueue::count() const Returns the number of items in the queue. \sa isEmpty() */ /*! \fn type* Q3PtrQueue::head() const Returns a pointer to the head item in the queue. The queue is not changed. Returns 0 if the queue is empty. \sa dequeue() isEmpty() */ /*! \fn Q3PtrQueue::operator type*() const Returns a pointer to the head item in the queue. The queue is not changed. Returns 0 if the queue is empty. \sa dequeue() isEmpty() */ /*! \fn type* Q3PtrQueue::current() const Returns a pointer to the head item in the queue. The queue is not changed. Returns 0 if the queue is empty. \sa dequeue() isEmpty() */ /*! \fn bool Q3PtrQueue::autoDelete() const Returns the setting of the auto-delete option. The default is FALSE. \sa setAutoDelete() */ /*! \fn void Q3PtrQueue::setAutoDelete( bool enable ) Sets the queue to auto-delete its contents if \a enable is TRUE and not to delete them if \a enable is FALSE. If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in a queue are deleted when the queue itself is deleted. This can be quite convenient if the queue has the only pointer to the items. The default setting is FALSE, for safety. If you turn it on, be careful about copying the queue: you might find yourself with two queues deleting the same items. \sa autoDelete() */ /*! \fn QDataStream& Q3PtrQueue::read( QDataStream& s, Q3PtrCollection::Item& item ) Reads a queue item, \a 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& Q3PtrQueue::write( QDataStream& s, Q3PtrCollection::Item item ) const Writes a queue item, \a item, to the stream \a s and returns a reference to the stream. The default implementation does nothing. \sa read() */
