Apologies if the title is incorrectly phrased - I am not too sure what is causing the problem
I am testing QList array access and came across this. It is a straight forward example of using referencing QList
append() function and QList[] operator.
Aim: I am trying to find out whether adding the same object (created with new
) to 2 QList<int>
and changing one of those objects (or references rather) will change the other.
What I found seems to indicate this is not true given my example and the output below:
// Some structure to simluate an object
struct IntStream {
int i;
};
// Create our lists
QList<IntStream> newlist = QList<IntStream>();
QList<IntStream> another = QList<IntStream>();
// Add 3 IntStream objects to the 2 lists using the same object, printing out the object and its reference
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
IntStream *s = new IntStream;
s->i = i;
newlist.append(*s);
another.append(*s);
qDebug() << QString("%1[%2] = %3 (").arg("newList", QString::number(i), QString::number(i)) << &another[i] << ")";
qDebug() << QString("%1[%2] = %3 (").arg("another", QString::number(i), QString::number(i)) << &another[i] << ")";
}
// Alter bject at index 1 with some arbitrary value
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
if(newlist.at(i).i == 1) {
qDebug() << "another[1] = " << &another[i];
qDebug() << "newList[1] = " << &newlist[i];
another[i].i = 4;
}
}
// Here, I should see the 2 values match, they do not
qDebug() << QString("%1 == %2 ???").arg(QString::number(newlist.at(1).i), QString::number(another.at(1).i));
The output of this is:
"newList[0] = 0 (" 0x27c75f88 )
"another[0] = 0 (" 0x27c75f88 )
"newList[1] = 1 (" 0x27c755d0 )
"another[1] = 1 (" 0x27c755d0 )
"newList[2] = 2 (" 0x27c75630 )
"another[2] = 2 (" 0x27c75630 )
another[1] = 0x27c755d0
newList[1] = 0x27c76ef0
"1 == 4 ???"
Should I expect to see 4 == 4
or did I do something wrong somewhere?
Notes:
T &QList::operator[](int i)
, not const T &QList::operator[](int i) const
new
objects rather than storing scoped objectsqDebug() << QString("%1[%2] = %3 (").arg("newList", QString::number(i), QString::number(i)) << &another[i] << ")";
qDebug() << QString("%1[%2] = %3 (").arg("another", QString::number(i), QString::number(i)) << &another[i] << ")";
You compared twice the &another[i]. You should write &newlist[i] instead in the first line.
And when you call newlist.append(*s); you made a copy of your IntStream instance.
To answer to your need: " I am trying to find out whether adding the same object (created with new) to 2 QList and changing one of those objects (or references rather) will change the other. " Use a shared_ptr to shared your instance between multiple list.
Something like:
struct IntStream {
int i;
};
// Create our lists
QList<std::shared_ptr<IntStream >> newlist = QList<std::shared_ptr<IntStream >>();
QList<std::shared_ptr<IntStream >> another = QList<std::shared_ptr<IntStream >>();
// Add 3 IntStream objects to the 2 lists using the same object, printing out the object and its reference
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
std::shared_ptr<IntStream > s = std::make_shared<IntStream >();
s->i = i;
newlist.append(s);
another.append(s);
