Hi, The recent episode with qVersion() moving from qglobal.h to qlibraryinfo.h, a header not included in qglobal.h, has shown that QUIP-6 SiC A are too broad a category. As per QUIP-6, I'm proposing to add a new entry to the table that bans moving definitions from one header to another if the headers don't include each other. Optionally, we may allow this for classes, because the <QClass> header will continue to work as before.
I'm also proposing to add a sentence that SiC B's can be made acceptable if they're hidden behind opt-in macros. This just spells out existing practice, to wit QT_NO_FOO, QT_CONFIG(foo), or QT_DEPRECATED_SINCE. The changes, in order: - https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/meta/quips/+/449444 (editorial, numbers the rows in the table for easier reference) - https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/meta/quips/+/449445 (mentions opt-in mechanisms) - https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/meta/quips/+/449446 (bans moving definitions from one header to another) - https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/meta/quips/+/449447 (exception for class types) Please discuss!
