    Default QList of pointers

    I have such a code:
    Qt Code:
    1. static QList<display_list*> displayLists;
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    items are added this way:
    Qt Code:
    1. list = new display_list();
    2. list->new_list(GL_COMPILE);
    3. glBegin(GL_QUADS);
    4. ...
    5. glEnd();
    6. list->end_list();
    7. displayLists.append(list);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    The problem is if I need to clear list and generate otehr display lists than displayLists.clear() is a bad choice - ~display_list() is not called for elements, in fact lists still reside in OpenGL memory. Currently I have such a header in function, that generates this list:
    Qt Code:
    1. void prepareLists()
    2. {
    3. if(!displayLists.isEmpty())
    4. foreach(display_list* ptr, displayLists) delete ptr;
    5. displayLists.clear();
    6. ...
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    but I don't like it
    Any ideas how to make it nice&clean?

    PS: display_list is not a QObject

    4. delete d;
    5. ::deleteItem(d);

    Do you know boost? You could use boost::shared_ptr. Please don't try this with std::auto_ptr because std:auto_ptr becomes invalid after reconstruction in / by QList.

    I've moved to boost::shared_ptr, Codepoet thanks for the idea (I'm boost user for several weeks, don't remember all its features )
