+/*!
+ \class QTaggedPointer
+ \internal
+ \inmodule QtCore
+ \brief The QTaggedPointer class provides a low-level wrapper around raw
+ pointers that makes it possible to store additional information in otherwise unused bits.
+
+ \ingroup tools
+ \reentrant
+
+
+ Data structures in C++ tend to have a natural alignment in memory, based on
+ the alignment requirements of the members fields. For example a structure
+ containing an integer tends to be aligned to a 4-byte boundary in memory. That
+ means a pointer holding the address of an instance will always have the lower
+ two bits set to zero. QTaggedPointer makes it possible to store information
+ in these bits, such as a user provided enum. This is called a tag. The API allows
+ reading and writing the tag. When asked for the raw pointer, it will always return
+ a valid address with the bits used for the tag set to zero.
+
+ This pattern may be useful when creating low-level data structures that
+ need to be as dense as possible.
+
+ The first template parameter is the type the tagged pointer should point
+ to. The second template parameter is the type of the tag. If not specified it will
+ default to an unsigned integral. A more powerful pattern though is to define a
+ flag enum and use that as a tag type:
+
+ \code
+ struct LinkedListItem
+ {
+ enum MyFlag {
+ NoOption = 0x0,
+ SomeOption = 0x1,
+ ThirdWay = 0x2
+ };
+ Q_DECLARE_FLAGS(MyFlags, MyFlag)
+
+ QTaggedPointer<LinkedListItem, MyFlag> next;
+
+ ...
+ };
+
+ Q_DECLARE_OPERATORS_FOR_FLAGS(LinkedListItem::MyFlags)
+
+ LinkedListItem &listItem = ...
+ listItem.next = new LinkedListItem;
+ listItem.next.setTag(LinkedListItem::SomeOption | LinkedListItem::ThirdWay);
+ \endcode
+
+ \note QTaggedPointer does not provide ownership. You are responsible for deleting
+ the data the pointer points to.
