[Development] Future of java-style iterators?

[Jaroslaw Kobus]

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/src/libs/utils/filesearch.h

FileContainer & FileContainerIterator could be an inspiration, too.
The SubDirFileContainer enables traversal according to the selected filters and exclusion filters.
This all is a part of the Utils lib inside QtCreator.

How about QDir::iterator, QDir::cbegin, basically make QDir a container? Or make a new class that serves the same purpose… /me likes the QDir idea.. :-)

Hi,

would QDirIterator[1] be part of this deprecation? Its API clearly seems
be inspired by the Java-style iterators.

While I do not care much about the other Java-style iterators, I really
like this iterator and use it a lot.
What would be this iterator's modern replacement in Qt?

Ciao
