As a counter proposal that (I hope) would get broader consensus, I suggest to just do this for 'emit': QTBUG-82379 . This keyword always seemed a bit odd to me anyway, because it has no semantics that's ensured by the compiler. I understand the ratio behind it, and there's obviously tons of code that uses it. But if I have the choice between Q_EMIT somethingChanged(); and just somethingChanged(); I personally prefer the second. My 2 cents, Kai _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
