Why there is no QList<T>::append(T &&)

Mr Pang

Just take QStringList as example, if we implement QStringList::append(QString &&str), isn't it more efficient in some cases？

Christian Ehrlicher

Because QList is a container which should no be used anymore (even it's not that explicitly written) since it's neither a list nor a vector. QVector for example has this function.7

/edit: and due to implicit sharing you won't gain much performance for it either.

Oh, I haven't realized that QLIst is deprecated. What about QMap?

What about QMap?

Feel free to add a patch for it.
