Use Q_ENUM instead of Q_ENUMS
Q_ENUM increases amount of metacode generated for enum. Is it really a good
idea to replace Q_ENUMS everywhere?
One thing that makes Qt easy to use is consistency. Once you know enough of its
classes using most other class is trivial as you know what to expect, what to
look for.
So if ease of use and therefore consistency is a goal of Qt
I am happily paying that price.
Anywhere: Where would you draw the line for Q_ENUM vs. Q_ENUMS enums? Any rule
about this would be arbitrary and therefore hard to remember, hard to get
consistent.
Following this argument you'll have to draw the line at public Qt headers vs
other other Qt code. The user will see the nice consistency and we can still
save some metacode where we don't need the benefits of Q_ENUM. I haven't
checked how much space it actually saves, though.
