QComboBox setModel - ownership???

[Talei]

Check it for Yourself, i.e.:

QComboBox *cb = new QComboBox( this );
    QStandardItemModel *model = new QStandardItemModel(this);
 
    qDebug() << model->parent();
        cb->setModel( model );
    qDebug() << model->parent();

QComboBox *cb = new QComboBox( this );
    QStandardItemModel *model = new QStandardItemModel(this);

    qDebug() << model->parent();
        cb->setModel( model );
    qDebug() << model->parent();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So basically no, views don't take ownership of model, unless explicitly set, because they can be shared by many views.

Also there is an error in man.:

The view does not take ownership of the model unless it is the model's parent object because the view (should be model?) may be shared between many different views.
