* Document Q_ENUM and Q_FLAGOlivier Goffart2015-03-031-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | [ChangeLog][QtCore] Q_ENUMS and Q_FLAGS have been deprecated, and replaced by Q_ENUM and Q_FLAG macros. These two new macros automatically register the enum with the Qt metatype system, allowing automatic conversion to or from string in QVariant, or to show the strings by QDebug operators. They also enable the new QMetaEnum::fromType function.

* Move Qt Core examples under a common subdirectoryTopi Reinio2014-10-171-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Qt Core examples were scattered into several subdirectories under qtbase/examples. This caused an issue with the example manifest file generated by QDoc; it expects to find all examples under a common directory in order to produde correct paths to the example .pro files. Qt Creator will not find the examples without a valid manifest file. This change moves the examples and edits the documentation files accordingly.

* Doc: Remove irrelevant sections from "Signals & Slots"Sze Howe Koh2014-09-251-33/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - This article is not the right place to describe the low-level mechanisms of moc and qmake, or to discuss QMetaObject features that are unrelated to signals and slots. - Most users never need to run moc directly. - The current content only mentions qmake for moc automation, but CMake, QBS, and the Visual Studio Add-In can also do that. In light of the above 3 points, let's simply link to the "Meta-Object System" article for those who are interested in the behind-the-scenes details. Most of the content deleted by this patch are already discussed in detail in the articles "The Meta-Object System" and "Using the Meta- Object Compiler (moc)" (the former links to the latter). The exception is Snippet 5 -- this is deleted without replacement because qobject_cast() is a much safer alternative to QMetaObject::inherits() with static_cast(), so we should encourage the former.

* Clarify use of Q_INIT_RESOURCETor Arne Vestbø2013-11-051-5/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Q_INIT_RESOURCE macro is needed if a library itself uses resources, in which case the Q_INIT_RESOURCE can and should happen in the library (like we do for eg. widget styles), or if a library exposes resources that are supposed to be used by the library clients, in which case the macro needs to be put in the application code. The distinction between the two, and the fact that resources built as part of the main executable do not need the explicit initialization, were not all that clear. This was evident by the lack of Q_INIT_RESOURCE in our own Qt libraries, and the various Q_INIT_RESOURCE calls in our examples where they are not needed.

A better one exists in the QThread class ref. - Example 1 (Thread Pool) is covered by the QThreadPool class ref. - Example 2 (QtConcurrent::run()) is covered in the "Threading and Concurrent Programming Examples" page and the "QtConcurrentRun" page. - The undocumented "Hello Thread" example is covered in the QThread class ref. - These examples cannot be accessed from Qt Creator's Examples tool. - These examples are neither widget-related nor tutorials, contrary to their source paths.
