It refers to something that had *better* be achieved, or else you're using it wrong. The *ownership* is unique. There is, at any given time, exactly *one* entity which *uniquely* holds ownership of the pointer. This is in contrast to a *shared* pointer, where the ownership is, well, *shared*. -- Matthew _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
