How does Qt implement signals and slots?
- by anton
Can someone explain to me the basic idea of Qt signals&slots mechanism IMPLEMENTATION?
I want to know what all those Q_OBJECT macros do "in plain C++".
This question is NOT about signals&slots usage.
added:
I know that Qt uses moc compiler to transform Qt-C++ in plain C++.
But what does moc do?
I tried to read "moc_filename.cpp" files but I have no idea what can something like this mean
void *Widget::qt_metacast(const char *_clname)
{
if (!_clname) return 0;
if (!strcmp(_clname, qt_meta_stringdata_Widget))
return static_cast<void*>(const_cast< Widget*>(this));
return QDialog::qt_metacast(_clname);
}
Thanks in Advance,
anton
