[Interest] Qt container size()

[Felix morack]

Hi,


Qt containers use 'int' to refer to their size thus limiting their size to
INT_MAX.

Is there any reason for this? Why dont they use size_t like the STL and the
rest of the world?

It's 2015, people will increasingly bump into this limitation - i just did.
I very much prefer QTL over STL for easier Qt integration, superior API and
implicit sharing. But this is a bit of a bummer.


Any plans to fix this situation for Qt6?
