Hello

I’ve been refactoring giant pieces (like 50-60%) of one project's codebase and 
I’m concerned about validity/quality of the result. Except different kinds of 
tests I’m thinking about statistical metrics one of which would be to get a 
feel how Qt-specific parts of the project have changes.

Is there any way to produce statistics which signals got fired and how many 
times (+ the same for slots) automatically during any application runtime?
(“any" way except of patching and recompiling Qt framework itself)


There is a way:
There is some exported private API from qobject_p.h that you can trivially re-declare in your project:


struct QSignalSpyCallbackSet
{
typedef void (*BeginCallback)(QObject *caller, int signal_or_method_index, void **argv);
    typedef void (*EndCallback)(QObject *caller, int signal_or_method_index);
    BeginCallback signal_begin_callback,
                    slot_begin_callback;
    EndCallback signal_end_callback,
                slot_end_callback;
};
void Q_CORE_EXPORT qt_register_signal_spy_callbacks(const QSignalSpyCallbackSet &callback_set);

extern QSignalSpyCallbackSet Q_CORE_EXPORT qt_signal_spy_callback_set;

https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/corelib/kernel/qobject_p.h.html#73


All you need to do is to call qt_register_signal_spy_callbacks to register the signal_begin_callback, and this will be called everytime a signal is emited. So you can gather some statistics from that.
