Why? I'm not sure I agree. Qt exists to make developers' lives easier, and even at the Qt3 -> Qt4 transition, when STL was fairly mature on many platforms, Qt kept their own container classes (for which I am very thankful, as they tend to provide a bit more convenience, although a lot of that is things like implicit sharing to make writing methods returning complex containers easier and foreach - for instance). And isn't this exactly what things like this are about? Convenience? If STL provides the same functionality in its basic containers, that's great, but we shouldn't limit ourselves to someone else's subset of functionality, should we? _______________________________________________ Qt5-feedback mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt5-feedback
