This was discussed in a QtCS two or three years ago. There are two huge problems with that: 1) Clang cannot compile all Qt-using codebases. Therefore, its tooling cannot work in all cases either. 2) No one has volunteered to write such conversion scripts. And a minor (3) is that automatic conversions seldom look nice and will require manual retouching anyway. -- 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
