That goes against the Qt API design. Do not return views, since it implies that internally there is an object that produces that view and that it does not go out of scope. The reason we return full, owning containers is so we have the freedom inside to change how we store the data without that affecting our API. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
