+ \class QHash
+ \brief The QHash class is a template class that provides a hash-table-based dictionary.
+
+ \ingroup tools
+ \ingroup shared
+ \mainclass
+ \reentrant
+
+ QHash\<Key, T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
+ stores (key, value) pairs and provides very fast lookup of the
+ value associated with a key.
+
+ QHash provides very similar functionality to QMap. The
+ differences are:
+
+ \list
+ \i QHash provides faster lookups than QMap. (See \l{Algorithmic
+ Complexity} for details.)
+ \i When iterating over a QMap, the items are always sorted by
+ key. With QHash, the items are arbitrarily ordered.
+ \i The key type of a QMap must provide operator<(). The key
+ type of a QHash must provide operator==() and a global
+ \l{qHash()}{qHash}(Key) function.
+ \endlist
+
+ Here's an example QHash with QString keys and \c int values:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 0
+
+ To insert a (key, value) pair into the hash, you can use operator[]():
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 1
+
+ This inserts the following three (key, value) pairs into the
+ QHash: ("one", 1), ("three", 3), and ("seven", 7). Another way to
+ insert items into the hash is to use insert():
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 2
+
+ To look up a value, use operator[]() or value():
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 3
+
+ If there is no item with the specified key in the hash, these
+ functions return a \l{default-constructed value}.
+
+ If you want to check whether the hash contains a particular key,
+ use contains():
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 4
+
+ There is also a value() overload that uses its second argument as
+ a default value if there is no item with the specified key:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 5
+
+ In general, we recommend that you use contains() and value()
+ rather than operator[]() for looking up a key in a hash. The
+ reason is that operator[]() silently inserts an item into the
+ hash if no item exists with the same key (unless the hash is
+ const). For example, the following code snippet will create 1000
+ items in memory:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 6
+
+ To avoid this problem, replace \c hash[i] with \c hash.value(i)
+ in the code above.
+
+ If you want to navigate through all the (key, value) pairs stored
+ in a QHash, you can use an iterator. QHash provides both
+ \l{Java-style iterators} (QHashIterator and QMutableHashIterator)
+ and \l{STL-style iterators} (QHash::const_iterator and
+ QHash::iterator). Here's how to iterate over a QHash<QString,
+ int> using a Java-style iterator:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 7
+
+ Here's the same code, but using an STL-style iterator:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 8
+
+ QHash is unordered, so an iterator's sequence cannot be assumed
+ to be predictable. If ordering by key is required, use a QMap.
+
+ Normally, a QHash allows only one value per key. If you call
+ insert() with a key that already exists in the QHash, the
+ previous value is erased. For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 9
+
+ However, you can store multiple values per key by using
+ insertMulti() instead of insert() (or using the convenience
+ subclass QMultiHash). If you want to retrieve all
+ the values for a single key, you can use values(const Key &key),
+ which returns a QList<T>:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 10
+
+ The items that share the same key are available from most
+ recently to least recently inserted. A more efficient approach is
+ to call find() to get the iterator for the first item with a key
+ and iterate from there:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 11
+
+ If you only need to extract the values from a hash (not the keys),
+ you can also use \l{foreach}:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 12
+
+ Items can be removed from the hash in several ways. One way is to
+ call remove(); this will remove any item with the given key.
+ Another way is to use QMutableHashIterator::remove(). In addition,
+ you can clear the entire hash using clear().
+
+ QHash's key and value data types must be \l{assignable data
+ types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value;
+ instead, store a QWidget *. In addition, QHash's key type must
+ provide operator==(), and there must also be a global qHash()
+ function that returns a hash value for an argument of the key's
+ type.
+
+ Here's a list of the C++ and Qt types that can serve as keys in a
+ QHash: any integer type (char, unsigned long, etc.), any pointer
+ type, QChar, QString, and QByteArray. For all of these, the \c
+ <QHash> header defines a qHash() function that computes an
+ adequate hash value. If you want to use other types as the key,
+ make sure that you provide operator==() and a qHash()
+ implementation.
+
+ Example:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 13
+
+ The qHash() function computes a numeric value based on a key. It
+ can use any algorithm imaginable, as long as it always returns
+ the same value if given the same argument. In other words, if
+ \c{e1 == e2}, then \c{qHash(e1) == qHash(e2)} must hold as well.
+ However, to obtain good performance, the qHash() function should
+ attempt to return different hash values for different keys to the
+ largest extent possible.
+
+ In the example above, we've relied on Qt's global qHash(const
+ QString &) to give us a hash value for the employee's name, and
+ XOR'ed this with the day they were born to help produce unique
+ hashes for people with the same name.
+
+ Internally, QHash uses a hash table to perform lookups. Unlike Qt
+ 3's \c QDict class, which needed to be initialized with a prime
+ number, QHash's hash table automatically grows and shrinks to
+ provide fast lookups without wasting too much memory. You can
+ still control the size of the hash table by calling reserve() if
+ you already know approximately how many items the QHash will
+ contain, but this isn't necessary to obtain good performance. You
+ can also call capacity() to retrieve the hash table's size.

+ \brief The QHash::iterator class provides an STL-style non-const iterator for QHash and QMultiHash.
+
+ QHash features both \l{STL-style iterators} and \l{Java-style
+ iterators}. The STL-style iterators are more low-level and more
+ cumbersome to use; on the other hand, they are slightly faster
+ and, for developers who already know STL, have the advantage of
+ familiarity.
+
+ QHash\<Key, T\>::iterator allows you to iterate over a QHash (or
+ QMultiHash) and to modify the value (but not the key) associated
+ with a particular key. If you want to iterate over a const QHash,
+ you should use QHash::const_iterator. It is generally good
+ practice to use QHash::const_iterator on a non-const QHash as
+ well, unless you need to change the QHash through the iterator.
+ Const iterators are slightly faster, and can improve code
+ readability.
+
+ The default QHash::iterator constructor creates an uninitialized
+ iterator. You must initialize it using a QHash function like
+ QHash::begin(), QHash::end(), or QHash::find() before you can
+ start iterating. Here's a typical loop that prints all the (key,
+ value) pairs stored in a hash:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 17
+
+ Unlike QMap, which orders its items by key, QHash stores its
+ items in an arbitrary order. The only guarantee is that items that
+ share the same key (because they were inserted using
+ QHash::insertMulti()) will appear consecutively, from the most
+ recently to the least recently inserted value.
+
+ Let's see a few examples of things we can do with a
+ QHash::iterator that we cannot do with a QHash::const_iterator.
+ Here's an example that increments every value stored in the QHash
+ by 2:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 18
+
+ Here's an example that removes all the items whose key is a
+ string that starts with an underscore character:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 19
+
+ The call to QHash::erase() removes the item pointed to by the
+ iterator from the hash, and returns an iterator to the next item.
+ Here's another way of removing an item while iterating:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 20
+
+ It might be tempting to write code like this:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 21
+
+ However, this will potentially crash in \c{++i}, because \c i is
+ a dangling iterator after the call to erase().
+
+ Multiple iterators can be used on the same hash. However, be
+ aware that any modification performed directly on the QHash has
+ the potential of dramatically changing the order in which the
+ items are stored in the hash, as they might cause QHash to rehash
+ its internal data structure. There is one notable exception:
+ QHash::erase(). This function can safely be called while
+ iterating, and won't affect the order of items in the hash. If you
+ need to keep iterators over a long period of time, we recommend
+ that you use QMap rather than QHash.

+ QMultiHash\<Key, T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}.
+ It inherits QHash and extends it with a few convenience functions

+ hashes. A multi-valued hash is a hash that allows multiple values
+ with the same key; QHash normally doesn't allow that, unless you

+
+ Because QMultiHash inherits QHash, all of QHash's functionality also
+ applies to QMultiHash. For example, you can use isEmpty() to test
+ whether the hash is empty, and you can traverse a QMultiHash using
+ QHash's iterator classes (for example, QHashIterator). But in
+ addition, it provides an insert() function that corresponds to
+ QHash::insertMulti(), and a replace() function that corresponds to
+ QHash::insert(). It also provides convenient operator+() and
+ operator+=().

+ Unlike QHash, QMultiHash provides no operator[]. Use value() or
+ replace() if you want to access the most recently inserted item
+ with a certain key.
+
+ If you want to retrieve all the values for a single key, you can
+ use values(const Key &key), which returns a QList<T>:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 25
+
+ The items that share the same key are available from most
+ recently to least recently inserted.
+
+ A more efficient approach is to call find() to get
+ the STL-style iterator for the first item with a key and iterate from
+ there:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qhash.cpp 26
+
+ QMultiHash's key and value data types must be \l{assignable data
+ types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value;
+ instead, store a QWidget *. In addition, QMultiHash's key type
+ must provide operator==(), and there must also be a global
+ qHash() function that returns a hash value for an argument of the
+ key's type. See the QHash documentation for details.
