* Fix regression in connectNotify(const char *) emissionKent Hansen2012-05-011-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reimplementations of connectNotify() and disconnectNotify() can assume that the signal argument is in normalized form, but after the introduction of the Qt5 meta-object format, it could happen that it's not. The problem is that the internal QArgumentType class, which attempts to resolve a typename to a type id, was calling QMetaType::type(). QMetaType::type() falls back to trying the normalized form of the typename if the original argument can't be resolved as a type (this behavior isn't documented, but that's how it works). This means that e.g. QMetaType::type("const QString &") returns QMetaType::QString. Since QMetaObjectPrivate::indexOfMethodRelative() (more specifically, the methodMatch() helper function) prefers to compare type ids over typenames (since the type ids are stored directly in the meta- object data for built-in types), the method lookup would *succeed* for signatures with non-normalized built-in typenames as parameters. QObject::connect() would then think that it did not have to normalize the signature (see "// check for normalized signatures"). The consequence was that the original, non-normalized form got passed to connectNotify(). This commit introduces an internal typename-to-type function that is the same as QMetaType::type(), except it doesn't try to normalize the name. This way, the only place where normalization can occur in the signature-to-meta-method processing is through the calls to QMetaObject::normalizedSignature() in QObject::connect() itself. The implication is that there are now cases where the method signature will be decoded and processed twice, where processing it once was sufficient before. On the other hand, it is consistent with the pre-Qt5-meta-object behavior, where we predict that the signature is already normalized, and only perform (comparatively costly) normalization if the initial lookup fails.

* Add QMetaMethod-based QObject::connect/disconnectNotify() APIKent Hansen2012-05-011-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This API will fully replace the const char *-based connectNotify() and disconnectNotify() in Qt5; the old functions will be REMOVED before Qt 5.0 final. The new implementation fixes the long-standing issue of connectNotify() not being called when using the (internal) index-based QMetaObject::connect() (e.g., from QML). As with the old API, there are still two "unintuitive" behaviors concerning disconnectNotify(): - disconnectNotify() is not called when the signal is disconnected using the QObject::disconnect(QMetaObject::Connection) overload. - disconnectNotify() is not called when a receiver is destroyed (i.e., when a connection is implicitly removed). The old versions of connectNotify() and disconnectNotify() are kept for now, and they are still called. They will be removed once known existing reimplementations (e.g., QtNetwork, QtDBus) have been ported to the new API.

* Remove support for meta-object revisions < 7Kent Hansen2012-03-221-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For Qt5 we no longer want to support the older revisions due to the dual codepaths that must be maintained, and because the format of the meta-object data is quite different in revision 7. The dual codepaths have been replaced by asserts that indicate the revision in which the feature was introduced, and the older-revision fallbacks have been removed. It's not possible to build code generated by moc that has revision <= 6 with Qt5 because the type of the QMetaObject::stringdata member changed from const char * to const QByteArrayData *. For the same reason it's not possible to build a dynamic meta-object generator targeting revision <= 6 with Qt5. Hence, too old meta-objects will be caught at compile time, and the code will have to be ported to generate revision 7 (e.g., by running Qt5's moc on the original class declaration).

* Long live Qt5 meta-object method/property descriptorsKent Hansen2012-02-291-0/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit introduces two significant changes to the meta-object data format: 1) Meta-type information (QMetaType type/name) information is stored directly in the meta-data for both properties and methods; 2) The original signature (string) of a method is no longer stored in the meta-data, since it can be reconstructed from the method name and parameter type info. The motivation for this change is to enable direct access to method names and type information (avoiding string-based lookup for types if possible), since that's typically the information language bindings (e.g. QML) need. (moc already had all the desired information about methods, but it threw it away!) This change keeps support for the older (6 and below) meta-object revisions, but the support will be removed after a short grace period. The following public QMetaMethod functions have been added: name() : QByteArray returnType() : int parameterCount() : int parameterType(int index) : int The following internal QMetaMethod function has been added: getParameterTypes(int *types) : void This commit extends the meta-method data to include explicit type/name data for methods. The new data follows the existing (5-word) method descriptors in the meta-data. The method descriptor format was modified to enable this. First, the descriptor now contains the meta-data index where the method's type/name information can be found. Second, the descriptor contains the number of parameters. Third, the descriptor has a reference to the name of the method, not the full signature. Each entry of a method's type/name array contains either the type id (if it could be determined at meta-object definition time), or a reference to the name of the type (so that the type id can be resolved at runtime). Lastly, instead of storing the method parameter names as a comma-separated list that needs to be parsed at runtime (which was how it was done prior to this commit), the names are now stored as separate entries in the meta-object string table, and their indexes are stored immediately after the method type info array. Hence, parameter names can be queried through the public API without parsing/allocating/copying, too.

* Change the representation of meta-object string dataKent Hansen2012-02-291-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to and including meta-object revision 6, string data have been stored as 0-terminated C-style strings, that were made directly accessible as const char pointers through the public API (QMetaMethod and friends). This commit changes moc to generate an array of QByteArrayData instead, and adapts the QObject kernel accordingly. Generating an array of QByteArrayData (byte array literals) means that the strings can now be returned from public (or private) API as QByteArrays, rather than const char *, with zero allocation or copying. Also, the string length is now computed at compile time (it's part of the QByteArrayData). This commit only changes the internal representation, and does not affect existing public API. The actual (C) string data that the byte array literals reference still consists of zero-terminated strings. The benefit of having the QByteArrayData array will only become apparent in the upcoming meta-object data format change, which changes the format of property and method descriptors. Support for the old meta-object string data format was kept; the codepaths for old revisions (6 and below) will be removed in a separate commit, once all the other meta-object changes are done and affected code has been adapted accordingly.

* Bring qmetaobjectbuilder in sync with mocKent Hansen2012-02-031-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | qmetaobjectbuilder should generate meta-objects of the same version as moc; in the future, when the moc version is bumped, QMOB has to be adapted at the same time. QMOB was generating version 4 meta-objects. This patch makes it generate version 6 (the current version). This also fixes a bug with using qt_static_metacall with QMOB (setStaticMetacallFunction()); it was already using the version 6 qt_static_metacall signature, which isn't compatible with version 4. Also add tests that ensure that the QMOB-generated meta-object works with real objects; in particular we want to test the codepaths in Qt that check for version >= 4.
