* Provide API for "placement new" construction of meta-typesKent Hansen2011-10-191-0/+139
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By making it possible to specify the place in memory where a type should be constructed, any meta-type can be allocated on the stack, for example. In the QML/JS QObject binding, this makes it possible to call slots and access properties from JavaScript without having to perform any mallocs (e.g. due to QVariant creation) in the C++ <--> JS value conversion, in the best case. In addition to QMetaType::construct() and QMetaType::destruct(), this change introduces QMetaType::typeSize(), which returns the size of a type in bytes. This can be used to prepare a suitable buffer for constructing a type using construct(). Benchmarks indicate that in-place construction is 2-5x faster than normal construction for core and GUI types on linux-g++. Note that there is already a QMetaType::construct() function in Qt 4, which has been renamed to QMetaType::create() in Qt 5. In order to avoid existing usages of construct() in user code to call the Qt 5 construct() (when they really meant to call create()), the third argument ("copy") of construct() is made mandatory. Hence, calls to QMetaType::construct() written for Qt 4 will cause a compile error when compiled with Qt 5, and the user must adapt his code.

* Improve the QMetaType::create() autotest coverageKent Hansen2011-10-141-5/+280
| | | | | | | | | | It only tested creating a copy of QSize. This change adds testing of all core types, both copy and non-copy creation. Change-Id: If2b8fb45718c4a976dd8b883b332878f7fb0da6f Reviewed-on: http://codereview.qt-project.org/6343 Reviewed-by: Bradley T. Hughes <bradley.hughes@nokia.com>
* Rename QMetaType::construct() to create()Kent Hansen2011-10-111-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | create() is symmetric with destroy(). Also rename the internal methods and fields to be consistent (qDeleteHelper already had the "right" name, though!). This change will allow us to use construct() and destruct() for something else: Placement new-style allocation (QTBUG-12574). The old construct() is still kept for now, until the other repositories have been updated to use create().
