QVariant::Pointer Class

template <typename Pointed> class QVariant::Pointer

QVariant::Pointer is a template class that emulates a non-const pointer to QVariant. More...

This class was introduced in Qt 6.11.

Public Functions

Pointer(Pointed &&pointed)
Pointer(const Pointed &pointed)
QVariant::Reference<Pointed> operator*() const

Detailed Description

QVariant::Pointer wraps pointed-to value and returns a QVariant::Reference to it from its operator*(). This makes it suitable as replacement for an actual pointer. We cannot return an actual pointer from generic iterators as the iterators don't hold an actual QVariant.
