The QScopedArrayPointer class stores a pointer to a dynamically allocated array of objects, and deletes it upon destruction. More...

const T &operator[](qsizetype i) const

Detailed Description

A QScopedArrayPointer is a QScopedPointer that defaults to deleting the object it is pointing to with the delete[] operator. It also features operator[] for convenience, so we can write:

void foo()
{
    QScopedArrayPointer<int> i(new int[10]);
    i[2] = 42;
    ...
    return; // our integer array is now deleted using delete[]
}

Member Function Documentation

QScopedArrayPointer::QScopedArrayPointer()

Constructs a QScopedArrayPointer instance.

[explicit] template <typename D, if_same_type<D>> QScopedArrayPointer::QScopedArrayPointer(D *p)

Constructs a QScopedArrayPointer and stores the array of objects pointed to by p.

T &QScopedArrayPointer::operator[](qsizetype i)

Provides access to entry i of the scoped pointer's array of objects.

If the contained pointer is nullptr, behavior is undefined.

Note: In Qt versions prior to 6.5, i was of type int, not qsizetype, possibly causing truncation on 64-bit platforms.

See also isNull().

const T &QScopedArrayPointer::operator[](qsizetype i) const

Provides access to entry i of the scoped pointer's array of objects.

If the contained pointer is nullptr behavior is undefined.

Note: In Qt versions prior to 6.5, i was of type int, not qsizetype, possibly causing truncation on 64-bit platforms.
