Member Type Documentation

typedef QSet::const_reverse_iterator

This typedef is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Deprecated in order to align with std::unordered_set functionality.

The QSet::const_reverse_iterator typedef provides an STL-style const reverse iterator for QSet.

It is simply a typedef for std::reverse_iterator<QSet::const_iterator>.

Warning: Iterators on implicitly shared containers do not work exactly like STL-iterators. You should avoid copying a container while iterators are active on that container. For more information, read Implicit sharing iterator problem.

This typedef was introduced in Qt 5.6.

See also QSet::rbegin(), QSet::rend(), QSet::reverse_iterator, and QSet::const_iterator.

typedef QSet::reverse_iterator

This typedef is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Deprecated in order to align with std::unordered_set functionality.

The QSet::reverse_iterator typedef provides an STL-style non-const reverse iterator for QSet.

It is simply a typedef for std::reverse_iterator<QSet::iterator>.

Warning: Iterators on implicitly shared containers do not work exactly like STL-iterators. You should avoid copying a container while iterators are active on that container. For more information, read Implicit sharing iterator problem.

This typedef was introduced in Qt 5.6.

Member Function Documentation

QSet::const_reverse_iterator QSet::crbegin() const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Deprecated in order to align with std::unordered_set functionality.

Returns a const STL-style reverse iterator pointing to the first item in the set, in reverse order.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

See also begin(), rbegin(), and rend().

QSet::const_reverse_iterator QSet::crend() const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Deprecated in order to align with std::unordered_set functionality.

Returns a const STL-style reverse iterator pointing to one past the last item in the set, in reverse order.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

See also end(), rend(), and rbegin().

[static] QSet<T> QSet::fromList(const QList<T> &list)

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Returns a new QSet object containing the data contained in list. Since QSet doesn't allow duplicates, the resulting QSet might be smaller than the list, because QList can contain duplicates.

Note: Since Qt 5.14, range constructors are available for Qt's generic container classes and should be used in place of this method.

For example, if you have code like

QStringList list;
// ...
QSet<QString> set = QSet<QString>::fromList(list);

you can rewrite it as

QStringList list;
// ...
QSet<QString> set(list.begin(), list.end());

See also QSet(InputIterator, InputIterator), values(), and QList::toSet().

QSet::reverse_iterator QSet::rbegin()

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Deprecated in order to align with std::unordered_set functionality.

Returns a STL-style reverse iterator pointing to the first item in the set, in reverse order.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

See also begin(), crbegin(), and rend().

QSet::const_reverse_iterator QSet::rbegin() const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Deprecated in order to align with std::unordered_set functionality.

This is an overloaded function.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

QSet::reverse_iterator QSet::rend()

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Deprecated in order to align with std::unordered_set functionality.

Returns a STL-style reverse iterator pointing to one past the last item in the set, in reverse order.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

See also end(), crend(), and rbegin().

QSet::const_reverse_iterator QSet::rend() const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Deprecated in order to align with std::unordered_set functionality.

This is an overloaded function.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

QList<T> QSet::toList() const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Returns a new QList containing the elements in the set. The order of the elements in the QList is undefined.

Note: Since Qt 5.14, range constructors are available for Qt's generic container classes and should be used in place of this method.

For example, if you have code like

QSet<QString> set;
// ...
QList<QString> list = set.toList();

you can rewrite it as

QSet<QString> set;
// ...
QList<QString> list(set.begin(), set.end());

or

QSet<QString> set;
// ...
QList<QString> list = set.values();
