使用QSet遇到的编译错误

 

今天下午写了如下一段代码：

QSet pointSet; pointSet.insert(QPoint());

编译后却得到一个编译错误：

error C2665: 'qHash' : none of the 16 overloads could convert all the argument types

当时百思不得其解。于是只好去查看Qt的官方文档，看了官方文档的一段话之后，豁然开朗，问题也就迎刃而解。我们来看下这段让我豁然开朗的话：

QSet's value data type must be an assignable data type. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value; instead, store a QWidget *. In addition, the type must provide operator==() , and there must also be a global qHash() function that returns a hash value for an argument of the key's type . See the QHash documentation for a list of types supported by qHash().

关键的一句是：必须要有一个全局的qHash函数，该函数用于给键类型的参数产生一个哈希值。

而Qt默认只为以下类型提供qHash函数：

• uint qHash ( const QString & key )
• uint qHash ( const QXmlNodeModelIndex & index )
• uint qHash ( char key )
• uint qHash ( uchar key )
• uint qHash ( signed char key )
• uint qHash ( ushort key )
• uint qHash ( short key )
• uint qHash ( uint key )
• uint qHash ( int key )
• uint qHash ( ulong key )
• uint qHash ( long key )
• uint qHash ( quint64 key )
• uint qHash ( qint64 key )
• uint qHash ( QChar key )
• uint qHash ( const QByteArray & key )
• uint qHash ( const QBitArray & key )
• uint qHash ( const T * key )
• uint qHash ( const QPair & key )

现在明白了，程序产生编译错误的原因是我没有为QPoint类型提供一个全局的qHash函数。于是我提供了如下的qHash函数，程序成功编译通过。

{
    QString valueStr(QString::number(point.x()) + QString::number(point.y()));
    return valueStr.toUInt();
}
