QVersionNumber Class

Produces a null version.

Constructs a version number from the list of numbers contained in seg.

Move-constructs a version number from the list of numbers contained in seg.

This constructor is only enabled if the compiler supports C++11 move semantics.

Construct a version number from the std::initializer_list specified by args.

This constructor is only enabled if the compiler supports C++11 initializer lists.

Constructs a QVersionNumber consisting of just the major version number maj.

Constructs a QVersionNumber consisting of the major and minor version numbers maj and min, respectively.

Constructs a QVersionNumber consisting of the major, minor, and micro version numbers maj, min and mic, respectively.

QVersionNumber QVersionNumber::commonPrefix(const QVersionNumber &v1, const QVersionNumber &v2)

Returns a version number that is a parent version of both v1 and v2.

See Also▲

Compares v1 with v2 and returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero, depending on whether v1 is less than, equal to, or greater than v2, respectively.

Comparisons are performed by comparing the segments of v1 and v2 starting at index 0 and working towards the end of the longer list.

QVersionNumber v1(1, 2);
QVersionNumber v2(1, 2, 0);
int compare = QVersionNumber::compare(v1, v2); // compare == -1

Constructs a QVersionNumber from a specially formatted string of non-negative decimal numbers delimited by a period (.).

Once the numerical segments have been parsed, the remainder of the string is considered to be the suffix string. The start index of that string will be stored in suffixIndex if it is not null.

QString string("5.4.0-alpha");
int suffixIndex;
QVersionNumber version = QVersionNumber::fromString(string, &suffixIndex);
// version is 5.4.0
// suffixIndex is 5

This is an overloaded function.

Constructs a QVersionNumber from a specially formatted string of non-negative decimal numbers delimited by '.'.

Once the numerical segments have been parsed, the remainder of the string is considered to be the suffix string. The start index of that string will be stored in suffixIndex if it is not null.

QLatin1String string("5.4.0-alpha");
int suffixIndex;
auto version = QVersionNumber::fromString(string, &suffixIndex);
// version is 5.4.0
// suffixIndex is 5

This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.

Returns true if the version number does not contain any trailing zeros, otherwise returns false.

See Also▲

Returns true if there are zero numerical segments, otherwise returns false.

See Also▲

Returns true if the current version number is contained in the other version number, otherwise returns false.

QVersionNumber v1(5, 3);
QVersionNumber v2(5, 3, 1);
bool value = v1.isPrefixOf(v2); // true

See Also▲

Returns the major version number, that is, the first segment. This function is equivalent to segmentAt(0). If this QVersionNumber object is null, this function returns 0.

See Also▲

Returns the micro version number, that is, the third segment. This function is equivalent to segmentAt(2). If this QVersionNumber object does not contain a micro number, this function returns 0.

See Also▲

Returns the minor version number, that is, the second segment. This function is equivalent to segmentAt(1). If this QVersionNumber object does not contain a minor number, this function returns 0.

See Also▲

Returns an equivalent version number but with all trailing zeros removed.

To check if two numbers are equivalent, use normalized() on both version numbers before performing the compare.

QVersionNumber v1(5, 4);
QVersionNumber v2(5, 4, 0);
bool equivalent = v1.normalized() == v2.normalized();
bool equal = v1 == v2;
// equivalent is true
// equal is false

Returns the segement value at index. If the index does not exist, returns 0.

Returns the number of integers stored in segments().

See Also▲

Returns all of the numerical segments.

See Also▲

Returns a string with all of the segments delimited by a period (.).

Returns true if lhs is not equal to rhs; otherwise returns false.

See Also▲

Returns true if lhs is less than rhs; otherwise returns false.

See Also▲

Writes the version number version to stream out.

Note that this has nothing to do with QDataStream::version().

Returns true if lhs is less than or equal to rhs; otherwise returns false.

Returns true if lhs is equal to rhs; otherwise returns false.

See Also▲

Returns true if lhs is greater than rhs; otherwise returns false.

See Also▲

Returns true if lhs is greater than or equal to rhs; otherwise returns false.

Reads a version number from stream in and stores it in version.

Note that this has nothing to do with QDataStream::version().
