inserting to Qlist of QSharedPointer

[jajdoo]

say i have a reference to an object of the appropriate class i want to insert to my QList of such QSharedPointers - can i use

the_list << the_ref
or should it be

the_list << QSharedPointer<TheClass>(the_ref)

?

What does your compiler say? It knows what works (is safe) and what does not.

If the_ref is a pointer to TheClass then your first attempt matches no operator<< variant, and the second does.
If the the_ref is a reference to an actual instance then neither is correct.
