Because move-only types didn't exist when our containers were written, so we didn't support them. And now we've never investigated what would be required to do it. It's possible, but requires some tricky template magic that I fear will make MSVC stumble. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
