How to create a QSharedPointer<QMap<a,b>> with an initializer list?


What works

In Qt 5.12.4, I try to dynamically create QSharedPointer<QMap<int,bool>>. I know that I can do

QMap<int, bool> mp = { { 1, true } };

as well as dynamically with

QMap<int, bool>* mpptr = new QMap<int, bool> { { 1, false } };

I know that I can create my QSharedPointer like so:

QMap<int, bool>* mpptr = new QMap<int, bool> { { 1, false } };
        QSharedPointer<QMap<int, bool>> shraredmpptr(mpptr);

What doesn't

I want do this in one single shot, which I am not able to accomplish. I tried the most obvious

QSharedPointer<QMap<int, bool>> mpsptr =
            QSharedPointer<QMap<int, bool>>::create(new QMap<int, bool> { { 1, false } });

but to no avail. The compiler gives me warnings that my types do not match but I do not see the point where I have to change the code so that it compiles. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Ok, I found an answer that works for me. the above one did not compile with msvc17 and with my arm toolchain. Also my first approach produces a memory leak.

    The correct way to do is is

    QSharedPointer<QMap<int, bool>> mpsptr(new QMap<int, bool> { { 1, false } });
