Does QTableWidget::setItem() automatically delete the previous object when it is called for the second time?

Zhmou

When I read setCellWidget() function, the doc says If cell widget A is replaced with cell widget B, cell widget A will be deleted. and gives out a code snippet example:

setCellWidget(row, column, new QLineEdit);
...
//Previously created QLineEdit object will be deleted.
setCellWidget(row, column, new QTextEdit);

Now I am wondering does setItem() works like setCellWidget() ? For example:


setItem(row, column, new QTableWidgetItem);
...

//Do I need to manually delete the previous QTableWidgetItem object, or free up the memory occupied by the pointer in other words?
setItem(row, column, new QTableWidgetItem);

Because https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtablewidget.html#setItem says:

The table takes ownership of the item.

that means it owns it, and will dispose it if you replace it.
