[Qt-interest] Question regarding pointer parameters in functions

[Patric]

Yes, ofcourse this is the case when passing widgets to functions. And in 
that case their memory is managed by the QT parent system.
If we pass implicitly shared classes to parameters, this will also not be a 
problem. We assume we are passing the parameter with something like 
function(new Class());
But in this case
void QStandardItemModel::appendRow ( QStandardItem * item )
if we use this method in the following way :
appendRow(new QStandardItem("itemText"));
the result will be undefined.

Ofcourse I may be wrong. Thank you for your opinions.

Best regards,
Patric
