2. I still have trouble understanding why std::unique_ptr is called like this, whereas I could immediately understand what QScopedPointer does even before reading its documentation. > Another thing to discuss is whether we should use raw pointers in the > API at all or not.

(though of course, we should also use smart pointers where they bring a clear advantage) Ciao, Alberto -- http://www.mardy.it - Geek in un lingua international _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
