Brainstorm

You don't have deprecation warnings on, or you would not suggest foreach :P Don't use it, I'm surprised its still in the library I would suggest simply writing the c++ way with std::as_const Or if you insist on "simpler" macros: #include <utility> // std::as_const #define FOREACH_CONST(var, container) \ for (const auto& var : std::as_const(container))

Whether the implementation is "lock-" or "wait-free" depends on the processor and C++ standard library implementation. https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qatomicpointer.html#feature-tests-for-the-atomic-api An operation that completes in constant time is said to be wait-free. Such operations are not implemented using locks or loops of any kind. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/atomic_is_lock_free.html All atomic types except for std::atomic_flag may be implemented using mutexes or other locking operations, rather than using the lock-free atomic CPU instructions. Atomic types are also allowed to be sometimes lock-free: for example, Use the macros and is*WaitFree() functions documented for QAtomicPointer It's also worth looking at the Qt and C++ memory ordering semantics documentation. *Ordered() is the most conservative approach. Imposing ordering limits the optimizations that a compiler and CPU can apply. The use of atomics also impacts memory cache coherency, potentially causing neighboring non-atomic data to be flushed.

Like @SimonSchroeder , I'm not really using AI for programming (yet), but I, too, follow the discussions about this (sometimes). Something I have been pondering recently, without coming to any conclusions... Over the years, most programmers/coders/engineers that I have worked with are much more comfortable writing code than sitting down and intently reading through it methodically and critically (especially for "novel" code for which the reader was not also the author). I have regularly given my favorite "pet" advice to people just starting out that they should try to get really comfortable and really fluent in reading and analyzing code, and practice that skill as often as they practice writing code. So.... In a hypothetical world where the AI writes 100% of the code, then either it will somehow be "perfectly coded" and need no review (which I cannot imagine, since the "spec" could have errors), or.... the AI writes 100% of the code and it falls upon us to READ all the code, which is something a lot of us do poorly. This simultaneously brings up two competing feelings for me: excitement/hope that code reading will now become more recognized as the highly-prized skill that I always believed it to be. pessimism/dread that nobody will be reading all the "AI slop" code that is potentially about to be dumped into the world's code repositories, and that there already aren't enough good readers/reviewers to deal with it all

@asterwyx, what was the response? I ask per forum.qt.io/post/833884.

@SimonSchroeder There is a single project that allows you to do hot reloading with C++ (and thus certainly also with Qt): https://liveplusplus.tech/ Only problem is that it's closed source

Today there is only a single pretty expensive license. But in the past, I remember there were other cheaper versions. For example the "Indie Mobile Edition". So a edition only for mobile devices (and i guess only Qt5 only, but I am not 100% sure). I guess they have one of that versions and/or they use a module that isn't available with Qt6 yet (don't forget that some modules are not available with Qt6!) But maybe ask them if you want to know more.

Hello. Just as a little part of this, I'm updating this wiki page with current URLs and missing Qt software. https://wiki.qt.io/List_of_Qt_Applications Feedback is welcome. Regards

@JonB - this does look like it'll suit our needs, if we decide to re-purpose the Java into a server. It's another approach I can add which I'd not thought of, thanks!

Hi and welcome to devnet, AFAIK, Qt now provides helper macros to make use of e.g. windeployqt to prepare a folder structure that allows your application to run. You can then use your favorite package manager or CPack to build the installer. For Linux, it begs a different question: are you aiming at providing native packages such as deb and rpm files ?

@BoudiVV Hi! Not sure what your question or concern is. Why do we need a different way to work together? What would be different? "merge of QT with CSS" - what does this mean? "But we can no longer accept that there is no honest earning model for all the developers involved" - do you mean Android/iOS app developers? Qt developers?

@Pl45m4 beautiful! And I relieaze. I really fancy reading Qt6 sources. thx.

@alexjordan_now said in Help sending data from dialog to main window: You can achieve this by emitting a signal from the login dialog and connecting it to a slot in the main window That's one way that was also already mentioned before :) Though I think if you want to return one value only, setting up a signal/slot connection is more "work" than just returning the value directly to the caller.
