It is not exposed. ref() and deref() returns void. > I really don't like "ref/deref" in QCoreApplication, as it doesn't make much > sense. It does: ref() means "keep the application alive until i call deref() And every ref() must be paired with a deref() exactly like QSharedData ref. that is i hink a concept that is very common and easy to understand. After, it can be wrapped into more high level API in QtGui or something. > It sounds like the QCoreApplication object will be deleted when the count > reaches zero, which isn't true.

Start by not changing > QCoreApplication's API -- a new class would be better. a kind of QKeepApplicationAlive object that would call ref() in its constructor, and deref() in its destructor? Why not, but i like the simple ref/deref in QCoreApplication better. I beleive the ref()/deref() API does the job well, and is very simple and easy. And it has to be in QtCore, so it can be used by ui-less API (such as KJob) _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
