\class QIntrusiveList
\brief The QIntrusiveList class is a template class that provides a list of objects using static storage.
\internal
 
QIntrusiveList creates a linked list of objects.  Adding and removing objects from the
QIntrusiveList is a constant time operation and is very quick.  The list performs no memory
allocations, but does require the objects being added to the list to contain a QIntrusiveListNode
instance for the list's use.  Even so, for small lists QIntrusiveList uses less memory than Qt's
other list classes.
 
As QIntrusiveList uses storage inside the objects in the list, each object can only be in one
list at a time.  Objects are inserted by the insert() method.  If the object is already
in a list (including the one it is being inserted into) it is first removed, and then inserted
at the head of the list.  QIntrusiveList is a last-in-first-out list.  That is, following an
insert() the inserted object becomes the list's first() object.
 
\code
struct MyObject {
    MyObject(int value) : value(value) {}
 
    int value;
    QIntrusiveListNode node;
};
typedef QIntrusiveList<MyObject, &MyObject::node> MyObjectList;
 
void foo() {
    MyObjectList list;
 
    MyObject m0(0);
    MyObject m1(1);
    MyObject m2(2);
 
    list.insert(&m0);
    list.insert(&m1);
    list.insert(&m2);
 
    // QIntrusiveList is LIFO, so will print: 2... 1... 0...
    for (MyObjectList::iterator iter = list.begin(); iter != list.end(); ++iter) {
        qWarning() << iter->value;
    }
}
\endcode
