Is it possible to create template signals?

[CJha]

Is it possible to create a general template signal in a QObject subclass like this:

signals:
	template<typename T>
	void templateSignal(const T& t);

I tried and I get the error: The "QtRunWork" task returned false but did not log an error

@CJha the answer is generally no

qmake, the magic behind signals and slots, can't run on the expanded templates, those are compiler intern stuff and qmake runs/parses your source files directly. IIRC

So no, no templates with signals and slots.

BUT
there is verdigris, which should work with templates, but its a slightly different philosophy and a good bit more verbose.

@J-Hilk Thanks :)
