The QPtrQueue class is a template class that provides a queue.
<p> 

<p> <a href="qvaluevector.html">QValueVector</a> can be used as an STL-compatible alternative to this
class.
<p> A template instance QPtrQueue&lt;X&gt; is a queue that operates on
pointers to X (X*).
<p> A queue is a first in, first out structure. Items are added to the
tail of the queue with <a href="#enqueue">enqueue</a>() and retrieved from the head with
<a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>(). You can peek at the head item without dequeing it using
<a href="#head">head</a>().
<p> You can control the queue's deletion policy with <a href="#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>().
<p> For compatibility with the <a href="qptrcollection.html">QPtrCollection</a> classes, <a href="#current">current</a>() and
<a href="#remove">remove</a>() are provided; both operate on the head().
<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>.

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="QPtrQueue"></a>QPtrQueue::QPtrQueue ()
</h3>

<p> Creates an empty queue with <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>() set to FALSE.

<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 )
</h3>

<p> Creates a queue from <em>queue</em>.
<p> Only the pointers are copied; the items are not. The <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>()
flag is set to FALSE.

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

<p> Destroys the queue. Items in the queue are deleted if <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>()
is TRUE.

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

<p> Returns the setting of the auto-delete option. The default is
FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>QPtrQueue::clear ()
</h3>

<p> Removes all items from the queue, and deletes them if <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>()
is TRUE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#remove">remove</a>().

<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="count"></a>QPtrQueue::count () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the number of items in the queue.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="current"></a>QPtrQueue::current () const
</h3>

<p> Returns a pointer to the head item in the queue. The queue is not
changed. Returns 0 if the queue is empty.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>() and <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="dequeue"></a>QPtrQueue::dequeue ()
</h3>

<p> Takes the head item from the queue and returns a pointer to it.
Returns 0 if the queue is empty.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#enqueue">enqueue</a>() and <a href="#count">count</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="enqueue"></a>QPtrQueue::enqueue ( const&nbsp;type&nbsp;*&nbsp;d )
</h3>

<p> Adds item <em>d</em> to the tail of the queue.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#count">count</a>() and <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>().

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="head"></a>QPtrQueue::head () const
</h3>

<p> Returns a pointer to the head item in the queue. The queue is not
changed. Returns 0 if the queue is empty.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>() and <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().

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

<p> Returns TRUE if the queue is empty; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#count">count</a>(), <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>(), and <a href="#head">head</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a name="operator-type-*"></a>QPtrQueue::operator type * () const
</h3>

<p> Returns a pointer to the head item in the queue. The queue is not
changed. Returns 0 if the queue is empty.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>() and <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().

<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 )
</h3>

<p> Assigns <em>queue</em> to this queue and returns a reference to this
queue.
<p> This queue is first cleared and then each item in <em>queue</em> is
enqueued to this queue. Only the pointers are copied.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> The <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>() flag is not modified. If it it TRUE for
both <em>queue</em> and this queue, deleting the two lists will cause <em>double-deletion</em> of the items.

<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>
</h3>

<p> Reads a queue item, <em>item</em>, from the stream <em>s</em> and returns a
reference to the stream.
<p> The default implementation sets <em>item</em> to 0.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#write">write</a>().

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="remove"></a>QPtrQueue::remove ()
</h3>

<p> Removes the head item from the queue, and returns TRUE if there
was an item, i.e. the queue wasn't empty; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> The item is deleted if <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>() is TRUE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#head">head</a>(), <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>(), and <a href="#dequeue">dequeue</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setAutoDelete"></a>QPtrQueue::setAutoDelete ( bool&nbsp;enable )
</h3>

<p> Sets the queue to auto-delete its contents if <em>enable</em> is TRUE
and not to delete them if <em>enable</em> is FALSE.
<p> If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in a queue are
deleted when the queue itself is deleted. This can be quite
convenient if the queue has the only pointer to the items.
<p> The default setting is FALSE, for safety. If you turn it on, be
careful about copying the queue: you might find yourself with two
queues deleting the same items.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#autoDelete">autoDelete</a>().

<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>
</h3>

<p> Writes a queue item, <em>item</em>, to the stream <em>s</em> and returns a
reference to the stream.
<p> The default implementation does nothing.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#read">read</a>().
