What's the equivalent std::deque in Qt?

I am on several lines codes from a Qt project to appending into a Qvector every 1s. I noticed that in STL deque could have a better performance in adding a new element into the end that vector. What's the equivalent or similar Qt way? Cause I don't find any in Qt libraries.

  • There is no direct equivalent to the std::deque class in QT.

    However, your best bet is to use QList.

    Here is what the documentation says about QT container classes:

    For most purposes, QList is the right class to use. Its index-based API is more convenient than QLinkedList's iterator-based API, and it is usually faster than QVector because of the way it stores its items in memory. It also expands to less code in your executable.

    Anyways, if you are only appending items once every second, there will not be much impact to choose one over the other.
