62
63
64The QPtrQueue class is a template class that provides a queue.
65<p>
66
67<p> <a href="qvaluevector.html">QValueVector</a> can be used as an STL-compatible alternative to this
68class.
69<p> A template instance QPtrQueue&lt;X&gt; is a queue that operates on
70pointers to X (X*).
71<p> A queue is a first in, first out structure. Items are added to the
72tail of the queue with <a href="#enqueue">enqueue</a>() and retrieved from the head with
73<a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>(). You can peek at the head item without dequeing it using
74<a href="#head">head</a>().
75<p> You can control the queue's deletion policy with <a href="#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>().
76<p> For compatibility with the <a href="qptrcollection.html">QPtrCollection</a> classes, <a href="#current">current</a>() and
77<a href="#remove">remove</a>() are provided; both operate on the head().
78<p> <p>See also <a href="qptrlist.html">QPtrList</a>, <a href="qptrstack.html">QPtrStack</a>, <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>.

80<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
81<h3 class=fn><a name="QPtrQueue"></a>QPtrQueue::QPtrQueue ()
82</h3>
83
84<p> Creates an empty queue with <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>() set to FALSE.
85
86<h3 class=fn><a name="QPtrQueue-2"></a>QPtrQueue::QPtrQueue ( const&nbsp;<a href="qptrqueue.html">QPtrQueue</a>&lt;type&gt;&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;queue )
87</h3>
88
89<p> Creates a queue from <em>queue</em>.

92
93<h3 class=fn><a name="~QPtrQueue"></a>QPtrQueue::~QPtrQueue ()

99<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoDelete"></a>QPtrQueue::autoDelete () const
100</h3>

114</h3>
115
116<p> Returns the number of items in the queue.
117<p> <p>See also <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().
118
119<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="current"></a>QPtrQueue::current () const
120</h3>
121
122<p> Returns a pointer to the head item in the queue. The queue is not
123changed. Returns 0 if the queue is empty.
124<p> <p>See also <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>() and <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().
125
126<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="dequeue"></a>QPtrQueue::dequeue ()
127</h3>
128
129<p> Takes the head item from the queue and returns a pointer to it.
130Returns 0 if the queue is empty.
131<p> <p>See also <a href="#enqueue">enqueue</a>() and <a href="#count">count</a>().
132
133<h3 class=fn>void <a name="enqueue"></a>QPtrQueue::enqueue ( const&nbsp;type&nbsp;*&nbsp;d )
134</h3>
135
136<p> Adds item <em>d</em> to the tail of the queue.
137<p> <p>See also <a href="#count">count</a>() and <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>().
138
139<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="head"></a>QPtrQueue::head () const
140</h3>
141
142<p> Returns a pointer to the head item in the queue. The queue is not
143changed. Returns 0 if the queue is empty.
144<p> <p>See also <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>() and <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().
145
146<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isEmpty"></a>QPtrQueue::isEmpty () const
147</h3>
148
149<p> Returns TRUE if the queue is empty; otherwise returns FALSE.
150<p> <p>See also <a href="#count">count</a>(), <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>(), and <a href="#head">head</a>().
151
152<h3 class=fn><a name="operator-type-*"></a>QPtrQueue::operator type * () const
153</h3>
154
155<p> Returns a pointer to the head item in the queue. The queue is not
156changed. Returns 0 if the queue is empty.
157<p> <p>See also <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>() and <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().
158
159<h3 class=fn><a href="qptrqueue.html">QPtrQueue</a>&lt;type&gt;&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator-eq"></a>QPtrQueue::operator= ( const&nbsp;<a href="qptrqueue.html">QPtrQueue</a>&lt;type&gt;&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;queue )
160</h3>
161
162<p> Assigns <em>queue</em> to this queue and returns a reference to this
163queue.
164<p> This queue is first cleared and then each item in <em>queue</em> is
165enqueued to this queue. Only the pointers are copied.
166<p> <b>Warning:</b> The <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>() flag is not modified. If it it TRUE for
167both <em>queue</em> and this queue, deleting the two lists will cause <em>double-deletion</em> of the items.
168
169<h3 class=fn><a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="read"></a>QPtrQueue::read ( <a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;s, <a href="qptrcollection.html#Item">QPtrCollection::Item</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;item )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
170</h3>
171
172<p> Reads a queue item, <em>item</em>, from the stream <em>s</em> and returns a
173reference to the stream.
174<p> The default implementation sets <em>item</em> to 0.
175<p> <p>See also <a href="#write">write</a>().
176
177<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="remove"></a>QPtrQueue::remove ()
178</h3>
179
180<p> Removes the head item from the queue, and returns TRUE if there
181was an item, i.e. the queue wasn't empty; otherwise returns FALSE.
182<p> The item is deleted if <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>() is TRUE.
183<p> <p>See also <a href="#head">head</a>(), <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>(), and <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>().
184
185<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setAutoDelete"></a>QPtrQueue::setAutoDelete ( bool&nbsp;enable )
186</h3>
187
188<p> Sets the queue to auto-delete its contents if <em>enable</em> is TRUE
189and not to delete them if <em>enable</em> is FALSE.
190<p> If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in a queue are
191deleted when the queue itself is deleted. This can be quite
192convenient if the queue has the only pointer to the items.
193<p> The default setting is FALSE, for safety. If you turn it on, be
194careful about copying the queue: you might find yourself with two
195queues deleting the same items.
196<p> <p>See also <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>().
197
198<h3 class=fn><a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="write"></a>QPtrQueue::write ( <a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;s, <a href="qptrcollection.html#Item">QPtrCollection::Item</a>&nbsp;item ) const<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
199</h3>
200
201<p> Writes a queue item, <em>item</em>, to the stream <em>s</em> and returns a
202reference to the stream.
203<p> The default implementation does nothing.
204<p> <p>See also <a href="#read">read</a>().
