* Implement support for QProperty<T> with a static observerSimon Hausmann2020-05-281-1/+229
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A common pattern in Qt Quick will be QProperty members that are connected to a callback that needs to perform something when the value changes, for example emitting a compatibility signal or marking scene graph node data dirty. To make such a pattern more efficient, a new QNotifiedProperty type is introduced that offers the same API as QProperty<T>, with two changes: (1) The template instantiation not only takes the property type as parameter but also a callback pointer-to-member. (2) Since that member itself cannot be called without an instance and to avoid storing an instance pointer permanently, the API for setBinding and setValue are adjusted to also take the instance pointer. For the former it gets stored in the binding, for the latter it is used to invoke the callback after setting the new value.

* Add a QPropertyAliasUlf Hermann2020-05-271-3/+246
| | | | | | | | | | | | A property alias is the equivalent of the "alias" keyword in QML. It provides the same API as QProperty, but redirects any access to the QProperty it was initialized with. When the original property is destroyed the binding becomes invalid and ignores any further acccess.

* Make it possible to take bindings from properties without private headersSimon Hausmann2020-04-171-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Passing the QExplicitlySharedDataPointer by reference may lead compilers to wanting to have visibility to the destructor of the contained type (QPropertyBindingPrivate), which is not public. Fortunately QExplicitlySharedDataPointer is safe to use with raw pointers and those can be safely forward declared.

* QProperty: Add support for member function change handlersSimon Hausmann2020-04-061-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a class has multiple QProperty members to implement functionality, it is common to have functions in the class that react to changes. For example to emit a compatibility signal, in case of Qt Quick to mark the scene graph as dirty, etc. etc. To faciliate this use-case, this patch adds an internal QPropertyMemberChangeHandler template that allows connecting a QProperty field to a member function callback. At the moment that callback is still 3 * sizeof(pointer). This could in theory be reduced to 2 by eliminating the back-pointer (prev) as the observer lives as long as the property. That however belongs into maybe a future patch. In order to get a pointer back to the surrounding object that holds the QProperty as well as provides the callback function, the property system was changed to pass through the address of the QProperty member at run-time, and at compile time the delta from the QProperty member to the beginning of the surrounding class is calculated. Through subtraction we obtain the pointer to the owning object. Change-Id: Ia2976357053f474ff44d0d6f60527c3b8e1f613a Reviewed-by: Fabian Kosmale <fabian.kosmale@qt.io>
* Make QPropertyBindingPrivate accessible to QtQmlSimon Hausmann2020-03-271-15/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | QtQml needs the private just for one detail which nobody else should need it for: Tracking additional dependencies and marking the binding as dirty. Exporting the private requires hiding some variables and providing accessors, to compile with MSVC - including the removal of QVarLengthArray usage. Upside: The binding structure shrinks by 8 bytes and the encapsulation makes it a little easier to change things without breaking declarative, ... in the unlikely event ;-) Also remove setDirty() from the public API as it's not needed by QtQml and using it is dangerous, because it means that there's a risk of somebody keeping a reference (count) to the untyped binding from within the binding closure, which introduces a memory leak.

* Use QTaggedPointer in QPropertyObserverSimon Hausmann2020-03-191-22/+37
| | | | | | | | | | This replaces the private tagged pointer and the use of enums for the tag makes the observer handling code more readable. The pointer-to-tagged-pointer class remains in qpropertyprivate.h due to its exoticness. Change-Id: Icc88799136c6839426d994b42368526463265e66 Reviewed-by: Fabian Kosmale <fabian.kosmale@qt.io>

| | | | | | | | | | A generic binding allows implementing the binding function in a way that enables the QML engine to run binding scripts and convert the V4::Value into a QVariant and then assign the value to the property with the help of QMetaType::construct.
