Its even worse: if Qt fixes a bug in an inline function, no application will benefit unless recompiled, either. So for any Qt user, and esp. distros, not recompiling all users of Qt when Qt changes runs the risk of not getting some of the bug fixes, leading to users seeing those bugs together with Qt versions in which they're officially fixed. -- Marc Mutz <marc.m...@kdab.com> | Senior Software Engineer KDAB (Deutschland) GmbH & Co.KG, a KDAB Group Company Tel: +49-30-521325470 KDAB - The Qt, C++ and OpenGL Experts _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
