Increasing usage for C++ new operators based on data model indexes?
-
the coordinate "is" the pointer.
Will software libraries evolve further around the suggestion “Add support for usage of placement new together with data model indexes”?

No they will not.

Does your software development experience include the usage of
QAbstractItemModel?I wouldn't question @kshegunov 's abilities as he's firmly in the top tier of developers contributing on this forum.

Does your software development experience include the usage of
QAbstractItemModel?My knowledge is growing also in this software area.
… he's firmly in the top tier of developers contributing on this forum.
This is fine.
Our experiences are varying in several areas, don't they?
Understanding difficulties can happen then when someone (like me) dares to present special development ideas.

Sorry if it came out wrongly before, we are not against new development ideas at all, not on this forum and not in the Qt Project.
I think what is clear from the discussion above is that nobody here can think of an elegant, efficient, functional and safe way to introduce the concept you suggest in the
QAbstractItemModel(or any of its subclasses) interface.
Having said that, you are correct by sayingOur experiences are varying in several areas, don't they?
So our point is, if you have an idea for an implementation then please go ahead and propose it to the community. I'd be very happy to participate in the review process of such an innovation as well as I might end up learning something new (punt not intended)

The project maintainers are seasoned (15-20 years experience) developers and are familiar with all aspects of standard C++ (especially its oldest parts like placement new).
It's safe to assume a total mastery of the placement new concept by people reviewing code, don't worry

This information is very promising.
- Unfortunately, I could not extract corresponding indications of understanding for my proposal so far.
- How would you like to clarify a possible mapping from data model indexes to pointers further?

That's what we are asking you to propose.
We can't think of a way unfortunately -

Because you have not proposed anything. Show an API and it will be judged. Show a usage example of that API and it will help us know if the API is convenient. Measure with benchmark and we'll know if it improves performance.
Without concrete foundations, any idea can be argued endlessly without result.

Why do you stumble on limitations in your imaginations here?

I guess that will depend on this basic clarification:
Are you familiar with the usage of placement new? -

Honestly I just think I'm not smart enough to get into this. It wouldn't be the first time. On the other hand I'd be really happy to see how it could be implemented so I could learn something new

Can this application programming interface be just “placement new” (which got the parameters “row” and “column” passed)?

See, I struggle already, what would the return type be? (
void*is a bit useless...) -

I still can't see a way forward.
The simplest example would probably be QStringListModel. Could you help me understand how the placement new operator would work in that case? -
