After the "noise" here "real" code: https://qt.gitorious.org/~syntheticpp/qt/qt4/commit/c1b839494d90e8c1a93b0dd2e08a2a365095d89f
Based on Qt 4.8.2. moc creates a header when it finds a template, if not then nothing changes. (It builds Qt with the patch, but it's a hack in the parser) In summary Foo<int> foo1; Foo<int> foo2; Foo<double> foo3; // works QObject::connect(&foo1, SIGNAL(asignal(T)), &foo2, SLOT(aslot(T))); // this should be possible, but string matching fails // no problem in Qt5 QObject::connect(&a, SIGNAL(asignal(int)), &foo1, SLOT(aslot(T))); // this should not be possible, but it runs because of the (void*) casts in the background // maybe catched in Qt5 QObject::connect(&foo1, SIGNAL(asignal(T)), &foo3, SLOT(aslot(T))); It's only an experiment, to see what could be done without using clang. Maybe I bring it up at the QtCS. Peter _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
