QObject Internals Doc

Hi,

Do you have any link that explains the Implementation details of the QObject, Q_OBJEC, Q_PROPERTY Macro.

The best link

What do you mean with "implementation details"? Just read the sources if the documentation is not enough..

Thank u for the link i never knew something of that sort exist

But nothing is said about how the Q_OBJECT is implemented. No info about the moc ing the QObject Subclasses is Provided that explain about qt_invoke or the implementation of the functions declared ....

I was asking if anyone has any doc that helps me understand the internals better.

Are you sure that oficial documentation is poor
Moc system
Also available good book Blanchet "Gui programing with Qt3", search in web for it

But nothing is said about how the Q_OBJECT is implemented.

#define Q_OBJECT \
public: \
    static const QMetaObject staticMetaObject; \
    virtual const QMetaObject *metaObject() const; \
    virtual void *qt_metacast(const char *); \
    QT_TR_FUNCTIONS \
    virtual int qt_metacall(QMetaObject::Call, int, void **); \
private:

#define Q_OBJECT \
public: \
    static const QMetaObject staticMetaObject; \
    virtual const QMetaObject *metaObject() const; \
    virtual void *qt_metacast(const char *); \
    QT_TR_FUNCTIONS \
    virtual int qt_metacall(QMetaObject::Call, int, void **); \

No the doc is one of the best written manual on a Beautiful tool ever made. But it emphasises more on the usage rather than the design of the tool. Hope you get me .

Anyway Thanks for the tip!

The link by Wysota is what i had wanted to begin with the exploration of Qt's Internals. That gets into the implementation of the functions declared by Q_OBJECT.

Thanks all
