Un-deprecate qSwap()
It seems to have fallen prey to the mass-deprecation of <QtAlgorithms> in Qt 5.2. Since it didn't actually duplicate STL functionality, that was uncalled-for: Unlike std::swap(), it's ADL-enabled, so the docs were wrong to suggest replacing it with std::swap instead. In fact, the tony-table that 5957f245c6c77c98d7e90d614c9fe2cdbfe7e8e6 added to qalgorithms.qdoc didn't include qSwap(), yet, qSwap() was marked as deprecated. Un-deprecate and expand the discussion to more faithfully represent its value, without going into the depths of teaching how to swap correctly in C++ (link to boost.org and cppreference.com for that instead). Remove the example that used qSwap() on doubles, which is precisely _not_ how you should use it. Amends 5957f245c6c77c98d7e90d614c9fe2cdbfe7e8e6(!). [ChangeLog][QtCore] Un-deprecated qSwap().

Use \c std::swap instead.

Exchanges the values of variables \a lhs and \a rhs,

This function is Qt's version of
|
||||
\l{https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/core/doc/html/core/swap.html}{\c{boost::swap()}},
|
||||
and is equivalent to
|
||||
\code
|
||||
using std::swap; // bring std::swap into scope (for built-in types)
|
||||
swap(lhs, rhs); // unqualified call (picks up type-specific overloads
|
||||
// via Argument-Dependent Lookup, or falls back to std::swap)
|
||||
\endcode
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
\snippet code/doc_src_qalgorithms.cpp 0
|
||||
Use this function primarily in generic code, where you would traditionally
|
||||
have written the above two lines, because you don't know anything about \c{T}.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already know what \c{T} is, then use one of the following options, in
|
||||
order of preference:
|
||||
|
||||
\list
|
||||
\li \c{lhs.swap(rhs);} if such a member-swap exists
|
||||
\li \c{std::swap(lhs, rhs);} if no type-specific \c{swap()} exists
|
||||
\endlist
|
||||
|
||||
See
|
||||
\l{https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/core/doc/html/core/swap.html}{\c{boost::swap()} on boost.org}
