将 QList 迭代器转换为索引

Question

I use qLowerBound to find an item in a QList , but this function returns an iterator, while I need an index (I'll pass it to another function that expects an index). Is there a way to get the index from the QList iterator?

Answer 1

You can subtract iterator to beginning of your list from your iterator to get an index, since pointer arithmetic is defined on iterators:

int idx = iter-yourList.begin();

See QList-iterator-reference

Answer 2

As pointed out by @Frank Osterfeld's comment , you can use this:

const auto index = std::distance(yourList.begin(), currentIteratorOnYourList);
