On: Qt 6.0

[paulryanrogers]

Can you provide an example of a comment sufficiently technical to be worthy?

[brnt → paulryanrogers]

I'm saying there isn't one (well, a hundred messages in and there are a handful at last :) ). Nobody is discussing what's new for instance. I'd be interested in the status of moc (isn't mentioned on the page).

[stagger87 → brnt]

The MOC is still present in Qt 6.0, if that is what you are asking.

[kevin_thibedeau → stagger87]

Even with CMake?

[omegote → kevin_thibedeau]

Question should be "even with C++17?". Cmake has had moc and uic support for years now. The question is why they don't leverage the c++17 features to get rid of moc, ffs.

[marcthe12 → omegote]

There is some features used by moc expected in c++23 like reflection. I think that in qt 7 they will drop moc an some stl replcements in qtcore

Why would Cmake eliminate the need for Qt's moc? Cmake is a build system/makefile generator. You don't generate c++ from form files or Qt-annotated C++ files out of magic.

[alvarelle → kevin_thibedeau]

Yes. That's orthogonal. And people have been using CMake with Qt (and moc) for almost as long as cmake exists
