<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The Q3PtrStack class is a template class that provides a stack.</p>
<p><a href="q3valuestack.html">Q3ValueStack</a> is an STL-compatible alternative to this class.</p>
<p>Define a template instance Q3PtrStack<X> to create a stack that operates on pointers to X, (X*).</p>
<p>A stack is a last in, first out (LIFO) structure. Items are added to the top of the stack with <a href="q3ptrstack.html#push">push</a>() and retrieved from the top with <a href="q3ptrstack.html#pop">pop</a>(). Use <a href="q3ptrstack.html#top">top</a>() to get a reference to the top element without changing the stack.</p>
<p>You can control the stack's deletion policy with <a href="q3ptrstack.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>().</p>
<p>For compatibility with the <a href="q3ptrcollection.html">Q3PtrCollection</a> classes <a href="q3ptrstack.html#current">current</a>() and <a href="q3ptrstack.html#remove">remove</a>() are provided; they both operate on the <a href="q3ptrstack.html#top">top</a>().</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setAutoDelete"></a><span class="type">void</span> Q3PtrStack::<span class="name">setAutoDelete</span> ( <span class="type">bool</span> <i>enable</i> )</h3>
<p>Defines whether this stack auto-deletes its contents. The same as <a href="q3ptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">Q3PtrCollection::setAutoDelete</a>(). If <i>enable</i> is true, auto-delete is turned on.</p>
<p>If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in the stack are deleted when the stack itself is deleted. This is convenient if the stack has the only pointers to the items.</p>
<p>The default setting is false, for safety. If you turn it on, be careful about copying the stack, or you might find yourself with two stacks deleting the same items.</p>
<p>Note that the auto-delete setting may also affect other functions in subclasses. For example, a subclass that has a <a href="q3ptrstack.html#remove">remove</a>() function will remove the item from its data structure, and if auto-delete is enabled, will also delete the item.</p>
