29 \class Q3PtrStack
30 \brief The Q3PtrStack class is a template class that provides a stack.
31 \compat
32
33 Q3ValueStack is an STL-compatible alternative to this class.
34
35 Define a template instance Q3PtrStack\<X\> to create a stack that
36 operates on pointers to X, (X*).
37
38 A stack is a last in, first out (LIFO) structure. Items are added
39 to the top of the stack with push() and retrieved from the top
40 with pop(). Use top() to get a reference to the top element
41 without changing the stack.
42
43 You can control the stack's deletion policy with setAutoDelete().
44
45 For compatibility with the Q3PtrCollection classes current() and
46 remove() are provided; they both operate on the top().

158
159/*!
160 \fn void Q3PtrStack::setAutoDelete(bool enable)
161
162 Defines whether this stack auto-deletes its contents. The same as
163 Q3PtrCollection::setAutoDelete(). If \a enable is true, auto-delete
164 is turned on.
165
166 If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in the stack are
167 deleted when the stack itself is deleted. This is convenient if
168 the stack has the only pointers to the items.
169
170 The default setting is false, for safety. If you turn it on, be
171 careful about copying the stack, or you might find yourself with
172 two stacks deleting the same items.
173
174 Note that the auto-delete setting may also affect other functions in
175 subclasses. For example, a subclass that has a remove() function
176 will remove the item from its data structure, and if auto-delete is
177 enabled, will also delete the item.
