I have a app that does a lot of numeric processing,using quint32, qreal mostly (and occasional QVector3D). 10k-1M items in the data set. I generally do know the size of the dataset before I start adding to it, so I call reserve() on it. Given that, and that I've been using QMap and QVector, when I use QMap and want the keys() it gives me a QList, which I then have to call toVector() on.
So this leads me to ask if I should be using QList all this time? I had thought that QList was considered harmful. [1][2][3] But "everything" seems to return to me a QList, rather than a QVector. What should I be using? (I'm Targeting 5.8 and later.) It seems that keys() should be returning a QVector? or there should be a keysAsVector() (or a keys(QIterable *), or template) so that I don't have to pay the conversion cost twice.
