[Development] Proposal: Deprecate QVector in Qt 6

[Simon Hausmann]

Hi,

In dev we've had QVector being an alias for QList for a while now. For the 6.0 release this particular topic (QList/QVector) suggests two goals (among others):

    (1) Use the same type throughout the public API of Qt.

    (2) Make it easy for our users to maintain a code base that works with Qt 5 and 6.


In the light of those two goals, I think we should keep using QList as the type in the public API. I don't think we should do a search and replace activity and switch to QVector. In the light of that, I would like to propose simply deprecating QVector and stick to QList everywhere.


What do you think?


Simon
