It can be used + in your application if the standard pair\<\> is not available on + your target platforms. + + QPair\<T1, T2\> defines a template instance to create a pair of + values that contains two values of type T1 and T2. Please note + that QPair does not store pointers to the two elements; it holds a + copy of every member. This is why these kinds of classes are + called \e{value based}. If you're interested in \e{pointer based} + classes see, for example, QPtrList and QDict. + + QPair holds one copy of type T1 and one copy of type T2, but does + not provide iterators to access these elements. Instead, the two + elements (\c first and \c second) are public member variables of + the pair. QPair owns the contained elements. For more relaxed + ownership semantics, see QPtrCollection and friends which are + pointer-based containers. + + Some classes cannot be used within a QPair: for example, all + classes derived from QObject and thus all classes that implement + widgets. Only "values" can be used in a QPair. To qualify as a + value the class must provide: + + \list + \i A copy constructor + \i An assignment operator + \i A constructor that takes no arguments + \endlist + + Note that C++ defaults to field-by-field assignment operators and + copy constructors if no explicit version is supplied. In many + cases this is sufficient. + + QPair uses an STL-like syntax to manipulate and address the + objects it contains. See the \link qtl.html QTL + documentation\endlink for more information. + + Functions that need to return two values can use a QPair. +*/ + +/*! \enum QPair::first_type + The type of the first element in the pair. */ + +/*! \enum QPair::second_type + The type of the second element in the pair. */ + + +/*! + \fn QPair::QPair() + + Constructs an empty pair.
