The problem with that is that you can create QObjects on the stack and those mustn't be refcounted. That said, the QPointer mechanism since 5.0 is basically refcounting, Technically, it's a refcounted refcounter. Since it shares the same class as QSharedPointer, it *has* the strong refcount inside, which could be used for this. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
