## Public Functions

| QVariantConstPointer(QVariant variant)
QVariant | operator*() const
const QVariant * | operator->() const

## Detailed Description

Use QVariant::ConstPointer instead.

QVariantConstPointer wraps a QVariant and returns it from its operator*(). This makes it suitable as replacement for an actual const pointer. We cannot return an actual const pointer from generic iterators as the iterators don't hold an actual QVariant.

## Member Function Documentation

### `[explicit]` QVariantConstPointer::QVariantConstPointer(QVariant variant)

Constructs a QVariantConstPointer from a variant.

### QVariant QVariantConstPointer::operator*() const

Dereferences the QVariantConstPointer to retrieve its internal QVariant.

### const QVariant *QVariantConstPointer::operator->() const

Returns a const pointer to the QVariant, conforming to the conventions for operator->().
