[SOLVED] QVector<*Object> memory

[maximus]

I am wondering if using .clear() on a QVector of pointers will delete the object associated with the pointer inside the Vector. Or do you have to to this yourself?

Qt Doc not clear to me :* Removes all the elements from the vector and releases the memory used by the vector.*

Thanks

You have to do it yourself.

qDeleteAll() is useful for this: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtalgorithms.html#qDeleteAll

Qt Doc not clear to me :* Removes all the elements from the vector and releases the memory used by the vector.*
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qvector.html#clear

That means: Release the memory used to store the pointers.
