Hello, I'd like to be able to register some "global" enums/flags to QML. I checked a little bit how Qt does with all the enums from Qt namespace (qnamespace.h) and I end-up in qqmlbuiltinfunctions which does all the "magic" which can't be used by normal developers/libs.
Because I think having "global" enums is a very nice feature, I'd like to know if other people and QML maintainers agree with me :). If yes, then want to propose the followings: - add one more Q_OBJECT/Q_GADGET like macro for namespaces (Q_NAMESPACE?), which declares the mandatory "extern const QMetaObject staticMetaObject" ( or just "extern const QMetaEnum staticMetaEnum" ? because in principle we'll only be able to declare enums/flags ?) into that namespace. Most probably moc will need some love to properly handle the new Q_magic_macro. If is too much trouble we can use the qnamespace.h hack. - add a helper macro/function to register the namespace enums/flags (i.e. qmlRegisterNamespace or even better qmlRegisterEnums(const QMetaEnum &staticMetaEnum, ....). I think it depends on QML c++11 scoped enums task, because most probably the enums enumerators names will clash. Cheers, BogDan. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
