FYI, I wrote QMaybe some 9 to 10 years ago, when D-Bus was discussing having maybe types. https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#idm423, see "Reserved for a 'maybe' type compatible with the one in GVariant, and must not appear in signatures used on D-Bus until specified here" Since it didn't happen there, it didn't happen for us either. > Alex Stepanov also agrees that vector may not have been his wisest > naming choice for a dynamic array container, but it's still QVector, and > not QArray, after all And QList is not a linked list. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
