std::unique analogue in Qt?

Question

I have browsed the documentation, but didn't find one. Any ideas?

Answer 1

By now I have the following:

   //filter out duplicates: stl algorithm 'unique' would be useful here
      QList<int> uniqueIDs;
      qStableSort(res);
      foreach(int id, res)
       if ( (uniqueIDs.empty()) 
                || (uniqueIDs.back() != id))
            uniqueIDs.push_back(id);
      swap(res, uniqueIDs);

res being the input for filtering, and not pleased with it.

Answer 2

You should be able to just apply std::unique to the iterators of QList. std::unique just requires the iterators to be forward iterators (here and here), and it appears that QList's iterators meet that requirement.

Answer 3

Consider using a QSet instead (and use QSet::toList when you need it as a list).
