Implicit sharing and storing objects as value is very reasonable for basic data as QStrings, but there are reasonable doubts regarding Placemarks and other GeoData.
{{ Moved To Community }}
There are some possibilities:
* Don't use implicit sharing at all and store all objects on the heap with a pointer to it.
* Use implicit sharing and storing as value for GeoDataCoordinates only.
* Use implicit sharing and storing as value for all GeoData classes.
 
To find out which is the wisest I try to look at every single class:
 
=== Base data ===
* '''GeoDataCoordinates''' This one is quite simple. It is not more than a QPoint in GeoCoordinates. This should stay implicilty shared.
* '''GeoDataLatLonBox''' (GeoDataObject) It seems to nothing more than a QRect for GeoCoordinates. I'm not sure if it must be derived from GeoDataObject
** '''GeoDataLatLonAltBox''' same for this
 
=== Geometric structures ===
* '''GeoDataGeometry''' The base class for all geometric. We could want a pointer for this, so using it as data may not be the right way.
** '''GeoDataPoint''' This one uses multiple inheritance (GeoDataCoordinates). I don't think that this is semantically correct.
 
=== views ===
* '''GeoDataAbstractView''' It's nothing more than a view, this could stay implicitly shared.
** '''GeoDataLookAt''' Same for this as this is a child.
