QList: deprecate iterator<->pointer implicit conversions (2/3)
The constructor from a raw pointer should be
1) constexpr,
2) explicit, and
3) *private*.
We can do 1) without too much trouble.
2) is a (easy to fix) SIC in case of implicit conversions accidentally
relied upon from somewhere.
3) cannot be "easily" fixed by user code (they have to refactor), and
also, it's a BIC on Windows which encodes class members' access in
symbols. Someone may have been exporting some QList subclass, in turn
exporting the iterator classes, and therefore that someone now has the
constructors' symbols with a given access.
So, don't do 2+3 _just yet_ for user code, but set a deadline: Qt 6.5 is
the last that will support this. On Qt 6.6, we switch. All of this on
non-Windows, againt to avoid an ABI break. One can opt-in at any time
via a suitable define.
Given we have this define, use it to guard the other way around as well:
conversions from an iterator to a raw pointer should never be explicit
(there's std::to_address for this).
[ChangeLog][QtCore][QList] Converting a QList's iterator from and to a
raw pointer is deprecated, and will get removed in Qt 6.6. User code can
prepare for the change by defining QT_STRICT_QLIST_ITERATORS.
