Detailed Description

The C++ language doesn't support variable-length arrays on the stack. For example, the following code won't compile:

int myfunc(int n)
{
    int table[n + 1];  // WRONG
    ...
    return table[n];
}

The alternative is to allocate the array on the heap (with new):

int myfunc(int n)
{
    int *table = new int[n + 1];
    ...
    int ret = table[n];
    delete[] table;
    return ret;
}

However, if myfunc() is called very frequently from the application's inner loop, heap allocation can be a major source of slowdown.

QVarLengthArray is an attempt to work around this gap in the C++ language. It allocates a certain number of elements on the stack, and if you resize the array to a larger size, it automatically uses the heap instead. Stack allocation has the advantage that it is much faster than heap allocation.

Example:

int myfunc(int n)
{
    QVarLengthArray<int, 1024> array(n + 1);
    ...
    return array[n];
}

In the example above, QVarLengthArray will preallocate 1024 elements on the stack and use them unless n + 1 is greater than 1024. If you omit the second template argument, QVarLengthArray's default of 256 is used.

QVarLengthArray's value type must be an assignable data type. This covers most data types that are commonly used, but the compiler won't let you, for example, store a QWidget as a value; instead, store a QWidget *.

QVarLengthArray, like QList, provides a resizable array data structure. The main differences between the two classes are:

  • QVarLengthArray's API is much more low-level and it lacks some of QList's functionality.
  • QVarLengthArray doesn't initialize the memory if the value is a basic type. (QList always does.)
  • QList uses implicit sharing as a memory optimization. QVarLengthArray doesn't provide that feature; however, it usually produces slightly better performance due to reduced overhead, especially in tight loops.

In summary, QVarLengthArray is a low-level optimization class that only makes sense in very specific cases. It is used a few places inside Qt and was added to Qt's public API for the convenience of advanced users.

Member Function Documentation

void QVarLengthArray::insert(qsizetype i, T &&value)

void QVarLengthArray::insert(qsizetype i, const T &value)

Inserts value at index position i in the array. If i is 0, the value is prepended to the vector. If i is size(), the value is appended to the vector.

For large arrays, this operation can be slow (linear time), because it requires moving all the items at indexes i and above by one position further in memory. If you want a container class that provides a fast insert() function, use std::list instead.

See also remove().

QVarLengthArray::iterator QVarLengthArray::insert(QVarLengthArray::const_iterator before, T &&value)

QVarLengthArray::iterator QVarLengthArray::insert(QVarLengthArray::const_iterator before, const T &value)

This is an overloaded function.

Inserts value in front of the item pointed to by the iterator before. Returns an iterator pointing at the inserted item.

QVarLengthArray::QVarLengthArray()

Constructs an array with an initial size of zero.

[explicit] QVarLengthArray::QVarLengthArray(qsizetype size)

Constructs an array with an initial size of size elements.

If the value type is a primitive type (e.g., char, int, float) or a pointer type (e.g., QWidget *), the elements are not initialized. For other types, the elements are initialized with a default-constructed value.

[explicit, since 6.4] QVarLengthArray::QVarLengthArray(qsizetype size, const T &v)

Constructs an array with an initial size of size elements filled with copies of v.

Note: This constructor is only available when T is copy-constructible.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

See also size() and squeeze().

QVarLengthArray::QVarLengthArray(const QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &other = Prealloc)

Constructs a copy of other.

[since 6.0] QVarLengthArray::QVarLengthArray(QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &&other = Prealloc)

Move-constructs this variable-length array from other. After the move, other is empty.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.0.

QVarLengthArray::QVarLengthArray(std::initializer_list<T> args)

Constructs an array from the std::initializer_list given by args.

template <typename InputIterator> QVarLengthArray::QVarLengthArray(InputIterator first, InputIterator last)

Constructs an array with the contents in the iterator range [first, last).

The value type of InputIterator must be convertible to T.

QVarLengthArray::~QVarLengthArray()

Destroys the array.

void QVarLengthArray::append(const T &t)

Appends item t to the array, extending the array if necessary.

See also removeLast().

void QVarLengthArray::append(T &&t)

This function overloads append.

Note: Unlike the lvalue overload of append(), passing a reference to an object that is already an element of *this leads to undefined behavior:

vla.append(std::move(vla[0])); // BUG: passing an object that is already in the container

void QVarLengthArray::append(const T *buf, qsizetype size)

Appends size amount of items referenced by buf to this array.

const T &QVarLengthArray::at(qsizetype i) const

Returns a reference to the item at index position i.

See also constBegin() and end().

QVarLengthArray::const_iterator QVarLengthArray::begin() const

This is an overloaded function.

qsizetype QVarLengthArray::capacity() const

Returns the maximum number of elements that can be stored in the array without forcing a reallocation.

The sole purpose of this function is to provide a means of fine tuning QVarLengthArray's memory usage. In general, you will rarely ever need to call this function. If you want to know how many items are in the array, call size().

See also reserve() and squeeze().

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

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

T *QVarLengthArray::data()

Returns a pointer to the data stored in the array. The pointer can be used to access and modify the items in the array.

Example:

QVarLengthArray<int> array(10);
int *data = array.data();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    data[i] = 2 * i;

The pointer remains valid as long as the array isn't reallocated.

See also removeOne().

[since 6.1] template <typename Predicate> qsizetype QVarLengthArray::removeIf(Predicate pred)

Removes all elements for which the predicate pred returns true from the array. Returns the number of elements removed, if any.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.1.

See also removeAll().

void QVarLengthArray::removeLast()

i must be a valid index position in the array (i.e., 0 <= i < size()).

See also operator[]() and remove().

void QVarLengthArray::reserve(qsizetype size)

Attempts to allocate memory for at least size elements. If you know in advance how large the array can get, you can call this function and if you call resize() often, you are likely to get better performance. If size is an underestimate, the worst that will happen is that the QVarLengthArray will be a bit slower.

The sole purpose of this function is to provide a means of fine tuning QVarLengthArray's memory usage. In general, you will rarely ever need to call this function. If you want to change the size of the array, call resize().

See also capacity() and squeeze().

void QVarLengthArray::resize(qsizetype size)

Sets the size of the array to size. If size is greater than the current size, elements are added to the end. If size is less than the current size, elements are removed from the end.

If the value type is a primitive type (e.g., char, int, float) or a pointer type (e.g., QWidget *), new elements are not initialized. For other types, the elements are initialized with a default-constructed value.

See also size() and squeeze().

[since 6.4] void QVarLengthArray::resize(qsizetype size, const T &v)

Sets the size of the array to size. If size is greater than the current size, copies of v are added to the end. If size is less than the current size, elements are removed from the end.

Note: This function is only available when T is copy-constructible.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

See also size() and squeeze().

void QVarLengthArray::shrink_to_fit()

Same as squeeze(). Provided for STL-compatibility.

qsizetype QVarLengthArray::size() const

Returns the number of elements in the array.

See also isEmpty() and resize().

void QVarLengthArray::squeeze()

Releases any memory not required to store the items. If the container can fit its storage on the stack allocation, it will free the heap allocation and copy the elements back to the stack.

The sole purpose of this function is to provide a means of fine tuning QVarLengthArray's memory usage. In general, you will rarely ever need to call this function.

See also reserve(), capacity(), and resize().

T QVarLengthArray::value(qsizetype i) const

Returns the value at index position i.

If the index i is out of bounds, the function returns a default-constructed value. If you are certain that i is within bounds, you can use at() instead, which is slightly faster.

See also at() and operator[]().

T QVarLengthArray::value(qsizetype i, const T &defaultValue) const

This is an overloaded function.

If the index i is out of bounds, the function returns defaultValue.

QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &QVarLengthArray::operator+=(const T &value)

Appends value to the array and returns a reference to this vector.

See also append() and operator<<().

QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &QVarLengthArray::operator+=(T &&value)

This is an overloaded function.

See also append() and operator<<().

QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &QVarLengthArray::operator<<(const T &value)

Appends value to the array and returns a reference to this vector.

See also append() and operator+=().

QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &QVarLengthArray::operator<<(T &&value)

This is an overloaded function.

See also append() and operator+=().

QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &QVarLengthArray::operator=(const QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &other = Prealloc)

Assigns other to this array and returns a reference to this array.

[since 6.0] QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &QVarLengthArray::operator=(QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &&other = Prealloc)

Move-assigns other to this array and returns a reference to this array. After the move, other is empty.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.0.

QVarLengthArray<T, Prealloc> &QVarLengthArray::operator=(std::initializer_list<T> list)

Assigns the values of list to this array, and returns a reference to this array.

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

Returns a reference to the item at index position i.

i must be a valid index position in the array (i.e., 0 <= i < size()).

See also data() and at().

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

This is an overloaded function.
