    Description

      I'm opening a meta-bug to centralize the discussions regarding the behavioral and performance regressions of QList / QVector in Qt 6.0.

      These are causing a number of other bugs, including memory leaks, performance degradations and whole crashes. (See the linked tasks).

      A lot of discussion happened in the gerrit fixes for those bugs, making them hard to find and hard to track (discussions start in one issue and continue in another).

      To summarize some of issues, at this moment:

      • Q6Vector regressed API against Q5Vector: for instance, capacity() contract is now violated due to the prepend space.
      • In general, Q6Vector will soft-leak memory (using more than necessary) because it will grow when prepending with no space on the left (but space available on the right). QTBUG-92912 QTBUG-91801
      • The current implementation of the prepend optimization degenerates on some inputs and triggers OOM. QTBUG-91360

          relates to

          Bug - A problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product. QTBUG-92941 REG 5->6: QVector size() does not reach capacity() before reallocating

          • P1: Critical - Urgent and Important, will STOP the release if matched with set FixVersion field. This includes regressions from the last version that are not edge cases; Data loss; Build issues; All but the most unlikely crashes/lockups/hanging; Serious usability issues and embarrassing bugs & Bugs critical to a deliverable. This is the highest possible priority for requirements.
