QList, copy problems

[Valheru]

Hmm, the reason for the crash turns out to be rather different. I was implementing QVariant operators for my classes as per the wiki, so that I could get rid of the QVariant::fromValue( *myObject ) calls. I also put a qDebug() statement in the copy constructor of my class. Then, when calling setData( QModelIndex idx, *myObject ), the debug messages showed that the copy constructor was being called recusively, despite being defined as MyClass::MyClass( const MyClass &other ). This was obviously calling the program to crash. It wasn't even entering the setData() function, as I had qDebug() statements in there to check. It just spins in a loop, making copies of *myObject.

I am implementing copy constructors as I need the parents to changed when that object it copied, otherwise the QAbstractItemModels can't keep track of tree heirarchy. I am a bit lost as to why this is happening though

Hi Valheru.

I've looked at your post and your example code as I'm experiencing the same problems as you did. I your post it seems like you've solved the copy problem? I'm fighting to get my copy function to work and I've ended up doing a deep copy by implementing a clone function, like this. I'm using a QMap instead of your QList.
Item Item::clone()
{
Item itm;
QMap<int,QVariant>::const_iterator i = this->constBegin();
while (i != this->constEnd()) {
itm[i.key()] = i.value();
++i;
}
return itm;
}
If it's not too much trouble, will you share with me your solution from above?

Thanks
