+/*! \class QLinkedList
+ \brief The QLinkedList class is a template class that provides linked lists.
+
+ \ingroup tools
+ \ingroup shared
+
+ \reentrant
+
+ QLinkedList\<T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
+ stores a list of values and provides iterator-based access as
+ well as \l{constant time} insertions and removals.
+
+ QList\<T\>, QLinkedList\<T\>, and QVector\<T\> provide similar
+ functionality. Here's an overview:
+
+ \list
+ \i For most purposes, QList is the right class to use. Its
+ index-based API is more convenient than QLinkedList's
+ iterator-based API, and it is usually faster than
+ QVector because of the way it stores its items in
+ memory (see \l{Algorithmic Complexity} for details).
+ It also expands to less code in your executable.
+ \i If you need a real linked list, with guarantees of \l{constant
+ time} insertions in the middle of the list and iterators to
+ items rather than indexes, use QLinkedList.
+ \i If you want the items to occupy adjacent memory positions,
+ use QVector.
+ \endlist
+
+ Here's an example of a QLinkedList that stores integers and a
+ QLinkedList that stores QTime values:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 0
+
+ QLinkedList stores a list of items. The default constructor
+ creates an empty list. To insert items into the list, you can use
+ operator<<():
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 1
+
+ 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 \c delete on them:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 2
+
+ QLinkedList's value type must be an \l {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 \c 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
+ \l{Java-style iterators} (QLinkedListIterator and
+ QMutableLinkedListIterator) and \l{STL-style iterators}
+ (QLinkedList::const_iterator and QLinkedList::iterator). See the
+ documentation for these classes for details.

+/*! \class QLinkedList::iterator
+ \brief The QLinkedList::iterator class provides an STL-style non-const iterator for QLinkedList.
+
+ QLinkedList features both \l{STL-style iterators} and
+ \l{Java-style iterators}. The STL-style iterators are more
+ low-level and more cumbersome to use; on the other hand, they are
+ slightly faster and, for developers who already know STL, have
+ the advantage of familiarity.
+
+ QLinkedList\<T\>::iterator allows you to iterate over a
+ QLinkedList\<T\> and to modify the list item associated with the
+ iterator. If you want to iterate over a const QLinkedList, use
+ QLinkedList::const_iterator instead. It is generally good
+ practice to use QLinkedList::const_iterator on a non-const
+ QLinkedList as well, unless you need to change the QLinkedList
+ through the iterator. Const iterators are slightly faster, and
+ can improve code readability.
+
+ The default QLinkedList::iterator constructor creates an
+ uninitialized iterator. You must initialize it using a
+ function like QLinkedList::begin(), QLinkedList::end(), or
+ QLinkedList::insert() before you can start iterating. Here's a
+ typical loop that prints all the items stored in a list:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 7
+
+ STL-style iterators can be used as arguments to \l{generic
+ algorithms}. For example, here's how to find an item in the list
+ using the qFind() algorithm:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 8
+
+ Let's see a few examples of things we can do with a
+ QLinkedList::iterator that we cannot do with a QLinkedList::const_iterator.
+ Here's an example that increments every value stored in a
+ QLinkedList\<int\> by 2:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 9
+
+ Here's an example that removes all the items that start with an
+ underscore character in a QLinkedList\<QString\>:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 10
+
+ The call to QLinkedList::erase() removes the item pointed to by
+ the iterator from the list, and returns an iterator to the next
+ item. Here's another way of removing an item while iterating:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 11
+
+ It might be tempting to write code like this:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qlinkedlist.cpp 12
+
+ However, this will potentially crash in \c{++i}, because \c i is
+ a dangling iterator after the call to erase().
+
+ Multiple iterators can be used on the same list. If you add items
+ to the list, existing iterators will remain valid. If you remove
+ items from the list, iterators that point to the removed items
+ will become dangling iterators. However, because of how \l{implicit
+ sharing} works, you must not take a copy of a container while
+ iterators are active on that container.
