Hi,

As you all know, Qt is heavily used by QGIS. Qt has some non-standard C++ concepts like signals and slots. These are very powerful but also bear some risks when not used properly. And it's not always easy to see what "properly" means.

Thanks to the folks at KDE, there is a tool named clazy <https://github.com/KDE/clazy#clazy-v17>, that can detect many of these risks at compile time. We have recently corrected a number of issues reported by clazy, which will result in an increased stability of QGIS.

We have also integrated clazy on our CI infrastructure (travis) which will help the stability of QGIS in the long run by disallowing risky code to enter the QGIS codebase.

Best regards
