* Allocate/free support in QArrayDataJoão Abecasis2011-12-091-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Centralizing QArrayData memory management decisions in one place will allow us to be smarter in how we allocate header and data. At the moment, these are allocated as a single block. In the future we may decide to allocate them separately for "large" data or specific alignment requirements. For users of QArrayData this remains transparent and not part of the ABI. The offset field in QArrayDataHeader enables this. This also hard-wires allocation of empty arrays to return shared_empty. Allocating detached headers (e.g., to support fromRawData) will thus require explicit support. Change-Id: Icac5a1f51ee7e468c76b4493d29debc18780e5dc Reviewed-by: Bradley T.

* Introducing QArrayDataJoão Abecasis2011-12-061-0/+97
Modeled on QByteArrayData/QStringData/QVectorData, the intent is to unify book-keeping structs for array-like data and enable sharing of code among them. As in those structures, size (and alloc) data member(s) specify the number of *typed* elements the array does (and can) hold. The size or alignment requirements of those objects is not tracked in this data structure and needs to be maintained by its users. Contrary to QByteArrayData and QStringData, QArrayData's offset member keeps a *byte* offset to the actual data array and is computed from the beginning of the struct. Shared-null and -empty functionality is provided by QArrayData and shared among all users. Planned features include setSharable (force deep copies), fromRawData (detached header and data allocations) and literals a la QStringLiteral (static immutable instances), thus covering the functionality needed for QByteArray, QString and QVector.
