    \title Concurrent Filter and Filter-Reduce
    \ingroup thread

    The QtConcurrent::filter(), QtConcurrent::filtered() and
    QtConcurrent::filteredReduced() functions filter items in a sequence such
    as a QList or a QVector in parallel. QtConcurrent::filter() modifies a
    sequence in-place, QtConcurrent::filtered() returns a new sequence
    containing the filtered content, and QtConcurrent::filteredReduced()
    returns a single result.

    These functions are a part of the \l {Qt Concurrent} framework.

    Each of the above functions have a blocking variant that returns the final
    result instead of a QFuture. You use them in the same way as the
    asynchronous variants.

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 6

    Note that the result types above are not QFuture objects, but real result
    types (in this case, QStringList and QSet<QString>).

    \section1 Concurrent Filter

    QtConcurrent::filtered() takes an input sequence and a filter function.
    This filter function is then called for each item in the sequence, and a
    new sequence containing the filtered values is returned.

    The filter function must be of the form:

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 0

    T must match the type stored in the sequence. The function returns \c true if
    the item should be kept, false if it should be discarded.

    This example shows how to keep strings that are all lower-case from a
    QStringList:

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 1

    The results of the filter are made available through QFuture. See the
    QFuture and QFutureWatcher documentation for more information on how to
    use QFuture in your applications.

    If you want to modify a sequence in-place, use QtConcurrent::filter():

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 2

    Since the sequence is modified in place, QtConcurrent::filter() does not
    return any results via QFuture. However, you can still use QFuture and
    QFutureWatcher to monitor the status of the filter.

    \section1 Concurrent Filter-Reduce

    QtConcurrent::filteredReduced() is similar to QtConcurrent::filtered(),
    but instead of returing a sequence with the filtered results, the results
    are combined into a single value using a reduce function.

    The reduce function must be of the form:

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 3

    T is the type of the final result, U is the type of items being filtered.
    Note that the return value and return type of the reduce function are not
    used.

    Call QtConcurrent::filteredReduced() like this:

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 4

    The reduce function will be called once for each result kept by the filter
    function, and should merge the \e{intermediate} into the \e{result}
    variable. QtConcurrent::filteredReduced() guarantees that only one thread
    will call reduce at a time, so using a mutex to lock the result variable
    is not necessary. The QtConcurrent::ReduceOptions enum provides a way to
    control the order in which the reduction is done.

    \section1 Additional API Features

    \section2 Using Iterators instead of Sequence

    Each of the above functions has a variant that takes an iterator range
    instead of a sequence. You use them in the same way as the sequence
    variants:

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 5


    \section2 Using Member Functions

    QtConcurrent::filter(), QtConcurrent::filtered(), and
    QtConcurrent::filteredReduced() accept pointers to member functions.
    The member function class type must match the type stored in the sequence:

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 7

    Note that when using QtConcurrent::filteredReduced(), you can mix the use of
    normal and member functions freely:

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 8

    \section2 Using Function Objects

    QtConcurrent::filter(), QtConcurrent::filtered(), and
    QtConcurrent::filteredReduced() accept function objects
    for the filter function. These function objects can be used to
    add state to a function call. The result_type typedef must define the
    result type of the function call operator:

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 13

    For the reduce function, function objects are not directly
    supported. Function objects can, however, be used
    when the type of the reduction result is explicitly specified:

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 14

    \section2 Wrapping Functions that Take Multiple Arguments

    If you want to use a filter function takes more than one argument, you can
    use a lambda function or \c std::bind() to transform it onto a function that
    takes one argument.

    As an example, we use QString::contains():

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 9

    QString::contains() takes 2 arguments (including the "this" pointer) and
    can't be used with QtConcurrent::filtered() directly, because
    QtConcurrent::filtered() expects a function that takes one argument. To
    use QString::contains() with QtConcurrent::filtered() we have to provide a
    value for the \e regexp argument:

    \snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentfilter.cpp 12
