QList vs QVector revisited

Question

My question is basically when to choose QVector and when to choose QList as your Qt container. What I already know:

1. Qt docs: QList cl

Answer 1

In Qt 5.7, the documentation was changed concerning the topic discussed here. In QVector it is now stated:

QVector should be your default first choice. QVector will usually give better performance than QList, because QVector always stores its items sequentially in memory, where QList will allocate its items on the heap unless sizeof(T) <= sizeof(void*) and T has been declared to be either a Q_MOVABLE_TYPE or a Q_PRIMITIVE_TYPE using Q_DECLARE_TYPEINFO.

They refer to this article by Marc Mutz.

So the official point of view has changed.
