Does qmake function unique preserves order of values?

[Alexey]

Hi,

@
ARGS = 1 2 3 2 5 1
ARGS = $$unique(ARGS) #1 2 3 5
@

Does this function preserves order of values in ARGS? For example, may it return 5 3 2 1 ?

Thank you!

Hi,

Why not simply test it ?

Currently, the order follows what the is found from left to right.

So having
@
ARGS = 5 2 1 2 5 3
ARGS = $$unique(ARGS)
@

Will return 5 2 1 3

I've tested. But test doesn't guarantee anything. I want to be sure before commiting it into production code.
