- \macro Q_DECLARE_TYPEINFO(Type, Flags)

-
- You can use this macro to specify information about a custom type
- \a Type. With accurate type information, Qt's \l{Container Classes}
- {generic containers} can choose appropriate storage methods and
- algorithms.
-
- \a Flags can be one of the following:
-
- \list
- \li \c Q_PRIMITIVE_TYPE specifies that \a Type is a POD (plain old
- data) type with no constructor or destructor, and for which memcpy()ing
- creates a valid independent copy of the object.
- \li \c Q_RELOCATABLE_TYPE specifies that \a Type has a constructor
- and/or a destructor but can be moved in memory using \c
- memcpy().
- \li \c Q_MOVABLE_TYPE is the same as \c Q_RELOCATABLE_TYPE. Prefer to use
- \c Q_RELOCATABLE_TYPE in new code. Note: despite the name, this
- has nothing to do with move constructors or C++ move semantics.
- \li \c Q_COMPLEX_TYPE (the default) specifies that \a Type has
- constructors and/or a destructor and that it may not be moved
- in memory.
- \endlist
-
- Example of a "primitive" type:
-
- \snippet code/src_corelib_global_qglobal.cpp 38
-
- An example of a non-POD "primitive" type is QUuid: Even though
- QUuid has constructors (and therefore isn't POD), every bit
- pattern still represents a valid object, and memcpy() can be used
- to create a valid independent copy of a QUuid object.
-
- Example of a relocatable type:
-
- \snippet code/src_corelib_global_qglobal.cpp 39
-
- Qt will try to detect the class of a type using
- \l {https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/is_trivial} {std::is_trivial_v<T>}
- to identify primitive
- types and it will require both
- \l {https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/is_trivially_copyable} {std::is_trivially_copyable_v<T>}
- and
- \l {https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/is_destructible} {std::is_trivially_destructible_v<T>}
- to identify relocatable types.
- Use this macro to tune the behavior.
- For instance many types would be candidates for Q_RELOCATABLE_TYPE despite
- not being trivially-copyable.
