+/*!
+ \class TQPtrCollection tqptrcollection.h
+ \reentrant
+ \brief The TQPtrCollection class is the base class of most pointer-based TQt collections.
+
+ \ingroup collection
+ \ingroup tools
+
+ The TQPtrCollection class is an abstract base class for the TQt
+ \link collection.html collection classes\endlink TQDict, TQPtrList,
+ etc. TQt also includes value based collections, e.g. TQValueList,
+ TQMap, etc.
+
+ A TQPtrCollection only knows about the number of objects in the
+ collection and the deletion strategy (see setAutoDelete()).
+
+ A collection is implemented using the \c Item (generic collection
+ item) type, which is a \c void*. The template classes that create
+ the real collections cast the \c Item to the required type.
+*/
+
+
+/*!
+ \enum TQPtrCollection::Item
+
+ This type is the generic "item" in a TQPtrCollection.
+*/
+
+
+/*!
+ \fn TQPtrCollection::TQPtrCollection()
+
+ Constructs a collection. The constructor is protected because
+ TQPtrCollection is an abstract class.
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \fn TQPtrCollection::TQPtrCollection( const TQPtrCollection & source )
+
+ Constructs a copy of \a source with autoDelete() set to FALSE. The
+ constructor is protected because TQPtrCollection is an abstract
+ class.
+
+ Note that if \a source has autoDelete turned on, copying it will
+ risk memory leaks, reading freed memory, or both.
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \fn TQPtrCollection::~TQPtrCollection()
+
+ Destroys the collection. The destructor is protected because
+ TQPtrCollection is an abstract class.
+*/
+
+
+/*!
+ \fn bool TQPtrCollection::autoDelete() const
+
+ Returns the setting of the auto-delete option. The default is FALSE.
+
+ \sa setAutoDelete()
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \fn void TQPtrCollection::setAutoDelete( bool enable )
+
+ Sets the collection to auto-delete its contents if \a enable is
+ TRUE and to never delete them if \a enable is FALSE.
+
+ If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in a collection are
+ deleted when the collection itself is deleted. This is convenient
+ if the collection has the only pointer to the items.
+
+ The default setting is FALSE, for safety. If you turn it on, be
+ careful about copying the collection - you might tqfind yourself
+ with two collections deleting the same items.
+
+ Note that the auto-delete setting may also affect other functions
+ in subclasses. For example, a subclass that has a remove()
+ function will remove the item from its data structure, and if
+ auto-delete is enabled, will also delete the item.

+ \fn void TQPtrCollection::deleteItem( Item d )

+ Reimplement this function if you want to be able to delete items.
+
+ Deletes an item that is about to be removed from the collection.
+
+ This function has to reimplemented in the collection template
+ classes, and should \e only delete item \a d if auto-delete has
+ been enabled.
+
+ \warning If you reimplement this function you must also
+ reimplement the destructor and call the virtual function clear()
+ from your destructor. This is due to the way virtual functions and
+ destructors work in C++: Virtual functions in derived classes
+ cannot be called from a destructor. If you do not do this, your
+ deleteItem() function will not be called when the container is
+ destroyed.

+ classes. It is not common practice to make a copy of something
+ that is being inserted.
